My creative space...

My Creative Space

Wow...how fast this Thursday has rolled around!

The Date & I have been very hard at work on the old place this week.

There hasn't been much time for crafting of any sort. I am making sure I get in a bit of instant gratification stuff along the way & this thrifted table cloth is part of a refashion I've got going on for our bedroom in the new place.

You can visit my favourite space from last week right here.

HOUSEKEEPING: Did you notice that I've dropped the blogspot? Can I trouble you to take a moment to update your reader & links please? Thank you.

    Crikey, is it Thursday already? Everything a bit of a blur...

    You are so up to mischief of the Extreme Kind. Don’t think I don’t have your measure when there’s glue gun involvement.

  30. Amanda @geekdetails // February 4, 2010 1:12 PM  

    Love the doilies! I started adding some to a duvet cover and actually like it so far

  31. beccasauras // February 4, 2010 1:40 PM  

    ooh, doilies, my favourite. Always better re-used somewhere than under someothing on a dressing table.

  32. dillpickle // February 4, 2010 1:48 PM  

    I'm looking forward to seeing the results of the refashion. Whenever I try to imagine what your projects are going to become, I'm generally way off!! I like that!

  33. Kirsten // February 4, 2010 2:17 PM  

    I can't wait to see what becomes of it! I've got one sitting amongst the top of my "to do" pile, waiting for a refashion into a little wearable number or 2.

  34. gret // February 4, 2010 2:26 PM  

    Nice find! Do show us what lovely things you make for the bedroom. Can't wait!!

  35. june at noon // February 4, 2010 3:04 PM

  38. Mary // February 4, 2010 5:09 PM  

    What a great doily! Wonderful find!

  39. Gina // February 4, 2010 5:46 PM  

    Darn it, I can't see your picture, but I'm gathering that it's a got some doily-action going on, and thus I heartily approve. And wait eagerly for whatever-it-is-that-is-stuffing-my-data-limits to pass.

  40. Star of the East // February 4, 2010 6:00 PM  

    You are showng a teasing bit of your project :) old doilies and crocheted stuff is such a wonderful source of inspiration!

  41. Amanda // February 4, 2010 7:40 PM

  42. Stephanie and Carlos // February 4, 2010 7:49 PM  

    I knew there was a reason I kept my Gran's doilies... Curly Pops has brooches I'm am gob smacked by... wonder what you have planned?? Centre piece over the bed head maybe... I need one of those too!!

    xo Steph

  43. Umatji // February 4, 2010 8:34 PM

  51. ArtMind // February 4, 2010 11:20 PM  

    I love doileys when they are used in a different way. Can't wait to see what you'll do with it!
    Thanks for letting me know that you dropped blogspot! I'll change my link now! :)

  52. Cindy // February 4, 2010 11:34 PM  

    I think that even if you don't have time to craft that is the best time to come up with new ideas. Hope the old house is nearly finished

  53. Posie Patchwork // February 4, 2010 11:40 PM  

    Gosh, that week just flew by, love Posie!!

  54. vadjutka // February 5, 2010 12:07 AM  

    beautiful chrochet - I am eager to see what happens with it!

  55. Muriël // February 5, 2010 12:26 AM

  56. Vilt à la Kim // February 5, 2010 2:03 AM  

    Looks interesting!!!!

  57. karuski // February 5, 2010 3:09 AM  

    Beautiful granny chic table cloth! I hope you'll soon find some time for crafting too.

  58. TopCat76 // February 5, 2010 4:12 AM  

    I think charity shops in the UK are rubbish compared to what I see girls in the US and Oz getting... I might have to sulk!!

  59. Narimasu // February 5, 2010 4:13 AM  

    I love vintage (and new) fine crocheted pieces. I never know what to with them so mine are all in a drawer. I'd love to see how you're refashioning with yours.

  60. gwen // February 5, 2010 5:09 AM  

    awesome project, I am sure I am going to spend half the day looking through what everyone else is doing!

  61. squareby // February 5, 2010 5:13 AM  

    beautiful tablecloth. i'm always tempted to pick up things at the thrift store, but can never bring myself to do it!

  62. Edera Jewelry // February 5, 2010 9:24 AM  

    ooh, I like your creative space this week--but then I am partial to lace! ;) Thanks so much for your sweet comment about last week's post--

    Ivy

  63. Tweed Delights // February 5, 2010 9:27 AM

  65. julie k // February 5, 2010 3:47 PM  

    I love the contrast between wood and lace. Ok, I had the benefit of seeing your most recent post. I guess that's the benefit of the time difference!

  66. Sam // February 5, 2010 9:13 PM  

    Lovely work!

  67. Rosalind // February 11, 2010 7:42 AM
