As promised, the mess
The “big picture” of the garage, with toddler.
Spinning wheel
UFOs, ironing board rack, laundry apron (pattern in Mary Jane’s Farm book), and stuffed head, for modeling hats.
The desk holds all of my sewing patterns in the drawers (top for women’s patterns, middle for children’s patterns, bottom for men’s patterns and accessories), along with the buttons, most of the handspun yarn, umbrella swift, knitting needles, tags, record keeping journal, and really cool vintage thingies, like the lemon yellow leather belt buckle, and the mink rose. On the floor is the embroidery machine, the serger, and the snap press.
Ah, the fabric. The three tubs way up high are quilting cottons. In the right shelf unit there is, from the top: ribbing, stretchy stuff, flannel, rickrack/bias tape/ribbon, “apparel” fabric, and a basket of miscelaneous knitting tools. On the right shelf there is, from the top: alpaca yarn, basket of notions, tub of lace, sewing/quilting/knitting magazines, box of velcro, and two boxes of sewing and knitting books.
Way up high on the top shelf is my yellow box of embroidery stuff, quilting thingie that goes with my sewing machine, machine case, camera, and needlepoint kits.
Hanging thingies are all yarn and thread.
Top of wall unit: bag of brown Polwarth fleece to spin, cross stitch supplies, tub of vintage lace. In wall unit: pillowcase of greasy fleece from Cotton, our old sheep that passed away in the fall, plus various other matching lots of yarn. Cardboard box is baby stuff, not craft related. Black box: fabric, red box: Christmas fabric. Four silver and one blue rubbermaid tubs: fabric. Clear tub: fabric for making DH things only (if you look really hard you can see the plaid that I made his cowboy shirt out of). Black tub: diaper fabric. Orange tub: UFOs.
