My creative space…

May 28, 2009 106 Comments by Kirsty

Creative spacing in the family room. This is due to:

-it being nice & cosy
-the family being there too
-the fact that the pool/craft room is such a tip I can’t actually get in there.

There is something very special about this picture. Do you see the tiny little heart? It’s a bit of a hunt… You’ll need to click the pic to enlarge.

Got it?

Finding the heart & thinking of this found heart loving girl made me smile. So, I’m issuing a bit of a challenge, just to keep myspace interesting. When you take your space photo next week do you think you could hide a little heart in the picture? Make it subtle…we want this to be a challenge.

Have you visited last week’s favourite yet? I update the sidebar link on a Friday OR just click here.

I think I found it – found a heart anyway and surely there can't be two accidental hearts. Lovely covered buttons in your space this week.

Yay – I found it! I was worried if I didn't find it, it may reveal an emotional deficiency. Yay again. I love your space and would completely agree about using the cosy family room. I tend to move away from my studio space when it is messy and follow the general cosy vibe a bit like a cat toward heat. Thanks so much for last week. It was more than a bit of a thrill!

Very delighted to have found the heart, I always found 'Where's Wally' type images a bit of a challenge! had you enlarged the picture already or did you know it was there?? I think hidden hearts will be a fun challenge for next week, I must remember though! That may be the biggest challenge for me. The cosiness of the family room/ living room is a real draw at the moment and that's why I'm loving knitting so much. Something satisfying to do by the warmth of the fire and I don't feel like I'm completely veging out either, at night in front of the tv. Daytime creative spacing is a bit colder at the kitchen table though!

OMG you guys are quick. How did the list get so long, so quickly? Love the heart idea Kirsty. I think I found it, but it was quick and I don't think I'm clever enough to get it that quickly, so maybe I'm imagining it. Will post later and would love to play next week. Thanks

I ad a photo a bit like that once – I wanted to photograph a glass vase of flowers, took it outside and put it on top of the stair rail… when I got the photo back, there was an image of the dog in the vase. She had been standing near enough that her image reflected on the vase. I will have to hunt it out, it was very bizarre!

I have added a really obvious heart this week but I will try to be on time and less obvious with the heart next time. I thoroughly enjoyed all of last weeks contributors and look forward to reading this week's. Despite in being Spring in Canada, it has been cold and wet so we have been cosying up in our family room too!
