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!
Lovely pic!
Looks very cool! That colour is fabulous, can't wait to see the finished product.
Aha! I see nature is busy quivering in it’s shoes (roots?) around your place too! Beautiful stuff Mrs. I’d buy your bathroom.
The blue is lovely! Always nice in a bathroom. Lovely nature baubles too.
So great to have creative space back ~ thanks for hosting again Kirsty!
that shade is the "in" color...i have missed this day..this space..thinking of you in the afternoon light...ELK
yeah, welcome banck "my creative space" :-)
Man, I never want to sell a house. I'm just saying.
Its lovely to see your space again, Kirsty. That colour is divine.
I have no idea what that is, but I love the brown and bright blue combo. Really looking forward to another year of My Creative Space, thanks Kirsty.
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.
So great to have your 'creative space' back!
Loving, loving that turquoise...vibrant and relaxing - perfect for the tub!
Love the colours you choose.
Proud of myself for remembering to participate in the first creative space of the year :P
Good luck with readying the house, hope it all goes well. I'm sure it will look beautiful with your sense of colour.
Oh I'm enjoying seeing blue in your posts of late. Looks lovely!! Best of luck with the house sale.
It's back! I really enjoy MCS, so thank you for hosting! I also enjoyed the break, mind you!
I hope the house-selling business goes along without too much trauma. It sounds rather stressful to me!
I am loving the mixture of hard and soft textures and natural and bright colours and holes and lines. Good luck with the house sale and thanks for the return of MCS. Let's hope its the most creative yet.
I'm so glad My Creative Space is back....I really missed all the followers over the Christmas break.
I hope your house sells soon!
I have just found your fabulous blog, thanks.
So many clever things
I love the colour you are using Kirsty, I am sure the splash of colour will be just what you need. Hope the house sells quickly for you.
happy new year Kirsty and hello creative space old friend.
i took the liberty of nominating you for a sunshine award because your blog brings sunshine to my day. i have no expectation of comttment it is simply a thumbs up to you
This is my first 'creative space' day - love your chosen 'splash' of colour. Will look lovely.
Your creative space looks so interesting - I can't imagine how it's going to look when finished. Will you show us?

Hey Kirsty, its so great to be back doing My Creative Space, I've really missed it! I find Thursday's really inspire me now and motivate me to keep creating. I love to see what other people are up to, so thanks! Great colour by the way xo
I love what you are doing in this pic, even if I'm not sure what it is. Love the colours too. Thanks for starting this up again, I've missed it!
Good luck with the house selling. I had heaps of fun staging our house - and living in the really really beautifully tidy house, before we sold it!
Enjoy your blue - glorious colour.
I think your garden lives in fear Kirsty!
Great colour.
So excited to "be" here! Good luck with the house sale and the staging...
this looks like a beautiful unique piece in the making.

I’m so glad My Creative Space is back. Today has been madness, but I was determined to play along! So here I am, better late than never. Hopefully I shall get a chance to check out lots of other spaces in the next few days. Love that colour you are working with Kirsty, I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Um, for first timers who are new to My Creative Space, what are the game rules?? Seems every second blog i follow has it going on & to much excitement. Help me, please. Looks like fun, love Posie
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!
YAY! It's back! :) Thankyou for hosting again Kirsty! It keeps me on track to a)post and b) finish my projects!
ps...LOVE that blue! so vivid- the kind of blue you see on those deserted beaches.
Mmmmm loving the intensity of that blue. What an awesome way to add a "splash" of colour. And btw the laptop/recipe stand is bloody awesome! I am so in love with the embroidery.
Welcome back MCS! Wohoo!
Turquoise and chocolate - always a beautiful palette.
I love that you have links to so many inspiring blogs, thank you.
This is my first creative space, thanks for hosting & I love what you're working on here, looking forward to the finished product!
Great to have creative spaces back, I really missed them :)
Love what you are working on and also love the crocheted leaves of the blog you linked to!
Ok, i'm in, all linked up & posted, yippee!! Love Posie
Oh boy, so good to see the creative spaces back! :) Hope you had a lovely break though!
I love the crochet stuff you have on your desk & must admit I have been thinking to use it in my ceramics too like this. Just haven't gotten around to try it.
The leaves are awesome! :)
Yay, creative spaces are back!!! I so need the inspiration and shaming to get me back in action that's for sure!!
Hi Kirsty, I'd like to give it a go, thanks for the kick.

I am a first timer. Thanks for hosting.
Naturally stunning!! No idea what it is but it's certainly a splash of colour and texture!! So happy to be joining in again... "Like the ticket collector at the roller coast let me go on 1 more time before closing because I was having so much fun" kinda feeling... you know??!!
Big Love Steph
Thanks for hosting this, it's fun. Lovely to see all these other creative spaces too. I'll be back.
Love the handmade laptop stand below too.
I'm looking forward to taking part in "my creative Space". The best part will probably be seeing what other bloggers are up to.
Hurrah creative space is back. What a beautiful 'splash' of colour you are showing us! Love the turquoise against the darker brown, blacks and greys and the stitching is beautiful. Can't wait to see the end result. Can we have a peek? Please?
Wonderful to have 'my creative space' back for 2010!!! ... I missed it muchly.
Good luck with the sale of the house.
Thanks for your "creative space" collection! I came across it for the first time this morning and am so happy to be able to join in :)
Olivia
I love your work space ... that color is awesome ... My husband announced me 2 days ago he want to completely redo what is my work space for now ... I am so happy :)
I am looking for inspiration :)

Yay--glad the group is back! I love the "splash of color" you've chosen--I've been working with a similar shade myself. What are you making--it looks intriguing but I can't tell what it is!

Ivy

Hi Kirsty
Back into blogging(and crafting) after some time off. Thanks for a great meme. I cant promise to post weekly, but I aiming for more frequently than monthly.
Cheers
Libby
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! ;)
