My creative space...


Its a beautiful Tasmanian winter's day. Mist, rain, puddles and sooo cold!! I'm snuggling near the fire and the record player while the owlets hide in the big couch cubby. I'm kept extra warm under the heavy crocheted blanket in the foreground. I didn't crochet all those beautiful green granny squares, it was Swayer's mum who crocheted them, perhaps on a similar Tasmanian day in a different creative space more than 30 years ago.

I'm adding to the collection of hair clips for the next market in a couple of weeks. The kettle's boiling, so there will be a cuppa in a few minutes and maybe some pikelets... I love how creative spaces change. Wouldn't creative space time lapse be wonderful?

  2. Oooh yes it would. Maybe if people sent their images to flickr then one week we could all add a widget containing the shots to our post. Let's "chat" about that shall we?

  3. Aren't Tassie winter days lovely, especially if the sun breaks through for a while to rush outside after a cosy morning.

    Your granny blanket looks lovely, I've quite a collection of old op shopped blankets that come out in winter, they are so lovely & cosy!

  7. Another beauty of a granny blanket. It must inspire creativity just on its own.

  8. It'd be amazing to be able to time-travel back into those creative spaces. I know my mum used to paint windcheaters in the 1980s with flowers - she even had some in a shop too! I guess she did it when we were at school, probably working on the kitchen table just like I do!

  12. Yes, we should have a flickr page shouldn't we?

    I love the sound of snuggling up with a granny blanket and a fire place and doing some craft. It's cold here, but there is not a fire place in sight!
