The above 'wacky or wonky house' is from my UFO sewing bin. I had planned to use a cobblestone fabric and a few other funky fabrics I had collected but I cannot locate them. Instead I went with a piece from my current bin of batiks and I will embellish by hand this evening with beads and other small bits of fabric.
The few folks who read this blog know that I haven't currently got a sewing space. I surrendered it for my daughters sake and now we are seriously full up at the 'Inn'.
I have moved my sewing from room to room and now it is currently set up in the dining room, which is where I believe I started out 25 or so years ago. I need to move out of that space tomorrow to prep for a family dinner party. I really feel cramped and creatively stifled in a way I can't fully describe. I can't seem to locate a permanent space in this house and it's driving me a little bit crazy. Really. So, I have decided that I will find studio space outside of the house. I did come across one place in an Industrial area not far from home that was actually pretty cool and had an awesome view of the ports but it went quickly. I don't have a lot of money to do this so my aspirations aren't too high. A safe area, and not too far from home. Just as long as the owner is willing to let me add my touch :o). I'll post more soon... wish me luck.

I really feel for you in this situation. I found that I did not really do anything meaningful until I took it all off the dining room table and into the basement. It ain't great, but it is a space. If you are a busy person you need to be able to just pick it up in a spare moment. You can do that when you have a permanent space. If you need to keep clearing it up and starting over. it's a serious detriment. I'm very excited about you finding a space outside the house. Good luck!
PS, I love the wonky house!
Thank you Chris, I'm really ready for this and I think it will make all the difference in the world.
Love the Wonky House. So cute!
