Great excitement this week as my sewing shed finally arrived. I bought it at half price on the condition I waited till the Summer season was over and then it would be delivered at the beginning of November.
A base had to be prepared first.

hearts were added by OH at each corner!
Then early one morning it arrived at 7.30am just as I was leaving for work. I could hardly wait to get back home to see it.

I love the details on these leaves
The cold weather is here for sure. I can only stay in the shed for a few minutes, but slowly over the Winter it will get light and warmth, and I will post more photos as things are added to the inside. I feel very lucky to have this sewing shed. So thankyou Dad, for enabling me to treat myself to the shed. I know you'll be watching down on me from somewhere as I sit sewing in what will become a cosy place, to sew, make things and just be.
Couldn't resist hanging this up!
It's been quite hectic here lately, so I will slow down, and browse through the makes on show at Handmade Monday. There are always great displays from lots of creative people!
Oh yes, I almost forgot! I have a swap partner over at Make And Craft. The very creative Alison at Fiddley Fingers, who also takes part on Handmade Monday. So must get working on that too.... |
oooh isn't it fab!! i have a shed for crafting too and i love it - we call it the 'art studio' :) yours is much more up market though with those lovely panelled doors... when the Summer comes i bet you'll be out there all the time! :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like its' my birthday and Xmas rolled together. I keep looking at photos of other sheds. So many different ways to do it up!

I sooo want a shed. The children have one which I lovingly painted and made curtains for, but I want one. I do have a book 'shed chic' but no shed!!! Looking forward to the upcoming photos of your shed. Sarah
ReplyDeleteI may have seen that book at the library. That's a point curtains! ....
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good, we're so excited for you! I'm sure Papa would love it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I shall be sewing some bunting for it over the next few days.
DeleteI can see how much this means to you and I share in your excitement. I look forward to seeing how you make it your own over the coming weeks and months. The heart is a great start!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was pleased the way the heart turned out. So I think I might put my quilting scraps to good use and make a garland of them.

I'm sooo envious of your sewing shed! Hope it;s warm and toasty!?
ReplyDeleteWell I have to keep my coat on at the moment, complete with hot drinks, so the heating will have to be sorted! But I still love it.
DeleteWendy x
It's lovely. Will we get to have a peak inside when you've moved in?
ReplyDeleteAli x
Of course! I will be taking lots of photos, I like to use fabrics to reflect the seasons, so it will probably change over time.

That's a gorgeous shed and I love the hearts in the concrete base. Can't wait to see how you decorate it inside. The heart on the door is beautiful too, so I am guessing the interior will be along those lines?
ReplyDeleteWell I do have a soft spot for hearts...Hope to try and post an extra blog or two as I make more things to go inside.
DeleteWendy
Very exciting - bet it will be hard to get you out of there. The hearts in the corner are lovely touches. Hope you enjoy your sewing room and have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will try and put a small table and chairs in there for now, till the electrics go in.
DeleteWendy
How exciting! Well done you for being so patient, I'm not sure I could have waited :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a long wait. A bit like "Are we nearly there yet!" But it's well worth it.
DeleteWendy
What a lovely shed. I can see you passing many a happy hour inside there.
ReplyDeleteI know I will. I made some bunting today to string up as a start, along with the little fabric heart.
DeleteWendy
May I ask where you bought your shed please? I'm in need of a new one and love that shape. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI bought the shed from dobbies garden centre. They display sheds etc on behalf of a company called mpb garden buildings ltd. Themalverncollection.co.uk shows photos.
