spring*cleaning

I went and did some much needed spring cleaning yesterday....  it's almost too embarrassing to post, but here's the before photos:
and after!

That's much better... I felt like I could actually get lots of work done today, and it was nice to sit in a clean space. :)
I took some other photos of some little corners in my craft space...
Notice the cute jelly roll pin cushion! It's the one I won from the Kup Kup Land blog! It was exciting to get a parcel all the way from Greece!  The detail is amazing.





And last night I felt like making something cute, so I searched the Pretty online class blog for something quick & easy...

a little sewing machine plushie! :)
and now while the laundry is still going, and Simon is still sleeping, I'm going to embroider something eastery for fun. 

I hope everyone enjoys their Easter weekend!
xoxo, holly

  15. Oh Holly, your "before" pics are not at all embarrassing. I've seen much worse....in fact in my very own studio! It's nice to see that others get messy too when the creative urge strikes!
    I love the idea of using those plastic tv dinner type plates for your palette. I have some pink ones just like yours! Thanks so much for sharing your space with us.
