My creative space…
Welcome back!
I’ve been super busy trying to get the old house ready to sell. We are hiring furniture for the sale but my decorator mate has allocated me the bathroom. She flounced in saying “splash of colour there” … “choose something bright”.
I did go to The Works over the weekend & purchased some new towels (on loan to the old house before they become the kids). I found any “splashes of colour” to be absolutely awful. So I’m refashioning these bits & pieces that used to be in our old bedroom. It’s quite fun. Someone else has been handy with her hook & needle on much more lively foliage.
Don’t forget to pop in and add your link if you’re playing along this week.
Edited to add:
My creative space is just a super casual bit of fun. You can drop in & out whenever you like. All you need to do is add your link to the link list. Just make sure you’ve posted your space for the week before you add your link.
I don’t want this to be so full of rules that it’s no fun but the whole aim of the game is to share what you’re working on. If you’re just linking to a shop or a homepage then I’m sorry but I’ll be deleting your link.
Friday am: I came in here with my coffee ready to check more creative spaces but the blasted link seems to be on the blink. Sorry & check back later eh? Thanks

Hi Kirsty! I really like the "splash" colour you've chosen – I think turquoise always looks fresh in a bathroom. I hope you can show us the before and after pics of the house – it would be great to see. Thanks for hosting my creative space again – it is the best! Cheers, Nic

Ah it's nice to be back in THE creative space, even if it causes me some heart palpitations & sorrow this morning… *sigh*
I'm sure checking out others crafty endeavours will cheer me up though!

Those colours look fabulous together! I think it's going to look gorgeous. How do you do all the holes? Good old fashioned drill? Kx

Kylie…
I didn't do it. They were purchased with the holes in them but I guess a drill would do it.

Oops! Are we back already? It totally slipped my mind. Hooray, it's back!
I'll add a link since it's a creative space even if it wasn't tailored to this meme. And tomorrow morning's to-do list includes blog visiting, so I'll be popping by to see everyone else a little late, but there all the same.
Welcome back!

Maybe I cheated a little here – I linked to my daughter's creative space… on my blog tho'! I hope she uses it to be creative – all her crafty and sewing-y things are right by her workspace. So hoping this link qualifys for creative spacey-ness.
I'm intrigued by the item in the photo that you've put the button hole/blanket stitch around… is it a seed pod? Have you drilled the holes… I love love love the concept of mixing stitch with found objects, especially natural pods and leaves… ah just seen the punch in the foreground of the pic… but still puzzled by the origin of the round thing!
