My Room

I thought I would share with you "My Room". I sew, craft, make dolls, paint, just whatever I want to in here. This room is on the front of the house so I have a nice view of the front yard. It is really a very small bedroom but it turned into "My Room" instead. 

 

Let me get the door for you and show you around.

 

The old table is my busy busy area - where I sew and every thing else. You can see I have my TV in here so I can be entertained as I work. There is the pink Hitty dollhouse on the left. It was my mother's little china cabinet and when she passed away I took it and painted it pink and it was perfect for a dollhouse. In between the pink Hitty dollhouse and TV is my grandmother's old Singer treadle sewing machine. It doesn't work now but I did learn to sew on it - and I treasure it!

Here you can see the sewing machine a little better. I crocheted the runner on top, the little milk glass lamp belonged to my mother and I do store stuff all under it. Maybe I should make a little skirt to cover up my junk? Now that old file cabinet where the TV sits, I modge podged scrapbook paper on the drawers to make it look a little prettier. That's been almost ten years ago and the papers haven't pealed at all!

For years and years I did cross stitch and here are a few. I have tubs filled with gillions of pieces for all of the seasons.

 

This is the fabric I've used all over the room, a pretty blue and white toile. I made the curtains and used it on the skirt around the table, again where my stuff is hidden.

 

  

This is my chair. It's an old rolling office chair and I took a throw and covered the seat, back and arms to make it look a little prettier.

 I also made a skirt for the table so I could poke stuff under it and believe me, there is lots of stuff under that skirt!

 

 Behind my chair is where I keep lots of my supplies. I bought a bunch of these little plastic bins with drawers, covered the insides of the drawers with scrapbook paper to make the fronts look nicer. You can see another skirted table. Actually it's more file cabinets with a heavy top placed on to and I can poke all sorts of things in the drawers but it can still look pretty. I just love things to look pretty. More to see below.

 

 

  

  Moving on around the back of the room I have a comfy rocking chair, where my little mini Schnauzer has claimed.

 

 

I make Tilda dolls also and you can see some sitting on the little shelf. I seem to gravitate to olden things and have quite a few antiques. 

 Moving around the room you can see I have a little closet - I'm saying a tiny little closet and beside the closet is a little baker's rack where at the time this picture was taken, I kept my cross stitch floss and patterns here. Now it's filled with Hitty things.

 

 Above the baker's rack is another cross stitch pieces and on the baker's rack are some of my cherished little things. 

 Hope you've enjoyed touring "My Room".
