That looks brilliant, I am totally jealous especially as all my sewing paraphernalia has been packed up and put into the basement as I have no time to sew at the moment Sad. Love the baskets, always makes things look tidy.

Are you jealous SoupDragon or feeling poorly?

I've got to fill & paint the wall behind it before I fill it with all my lovely stuff!! I can't wait!!

So exciting!!

OK I need colour help

The wall behind the table is grey (Egyptian Cotton), the wall opposite is soft sage green (Croquet) & I have some lime green

I have one of those Ikea mini drawers with 3 drawers at the top, 2 in the middle & one at the bottom

So how do I order the paints?

I hate you :o
It looks fab!

I am beyond envious

I gave up my craft and sewing room for dd and dd to have as their den and gaming room and I am grumpy about it

cookiefiend · 04/04/2016 17:16

Sooooo nice!

PurpleCrazyHorse · 04/04/2016 17:25

Oh I love the Egyptian Cotton colour. Had it in our old house and have just painted a wall in our new house with it :)

Very jealous of your craft area. Mine's stashed around the house with a 'handy' area on the back of the sofa (out of the toddler's reach!) Grin

Work so no two drawers are the same colour?

I have never been hated so much on MN - does it make you feel better if you know I just lost my job? & that's why I have the space?

No small cat in the bag :) Several WIPs though in various bags.

Not sure about colours (I leave that to DH or in the case of our lounge, copied a Farrow and Ball picture!). I'd just go for it, it can always be repainted.

When I made it bigger I could see no cat but it did look a bit like that really Grin

Will there be more malevolent swans?

Oh happy memories of days of long ago!

oh god I hope so - that was a bargain on eBay £25 for that bloody dress - I'll never get such a good buy again!!

Can you imagine the swan it is now on one of those dressmaking forms in the corner of the room!!

Yeah but I'm still jealous! My DD could play with all the toys and I could sew Grin

I love the dress as well. The movement in the skirt is amazing.

The jumble sale bit is the end of 13 years of nursery so it's really sad as I'm selling it all

My DD is 18 Wink

You can't beat order, everything in its place - it looks fab.

glorious · 08/04/2016 08:51

Awh yes that must be sad - end of an era and all that. Still, imagine how much sewing stuff you will be able to fit in when you've cleared it all!
