Where in the world are ...

... all the sewers and crafters???? Well, Vicki, from Another Sewing Scientist fame had the brain wave of uniting all the sewing and crafty people  by mapping where they live! Sewing sprees will be starting up all over the world, thanks to Vicki. 

So head over to Another Sewing Scientist, follow her easy-as directions, and you too will appear on the map, waving the flag for your part of the world!

My fancy has been tickled by...

... this contempory one-of-a-kind sewing room decor idea.

How cool and creative is that!!! Susan @ Living with Punks is one almighty inspirational OCD/ADD crafter  who just has 'the knack' at whipping up the most amazing things in her life. And she gives a step-by-step tutorial on how to make these up - just how good hearted is this lovely young lady!

These just look so clean, and striking, and I have always been memorised by the rows and rows of coloured threads, zippers and shiny buttons in fabric stores. So, off to IKEA for the frames, hunt the stash for what I had (as if there was any need to tip-toe down to the Lincraft sale) and lookie at what I made...

And because this is from my stash, I am claiming it as part of my STASHBUSTING for January (OK, a few days into February is still counted in my books!)

Shadow box frames are from IKEA, as is the wall mounted shelf ...

Threads are just my favourite colours ... so glad I always buy extra at the sales ...

The word SEW is printed on canvas (Christmas gift from the ever-clever kids), from Typo, a to-die-for store that I love prowling through

So, tell me creative bloggie friends, what do you put on display in your little sewing cave - contemporary or antique, colourful or monochromatic, memory maker or must-have item ???
