The day I attacked the craft corner... Part 1

What started as purchasing a new sewing chair, ended up being an afternoon, while the smallest were watching ABC, cleaning up my craft table...

re-organising drawers...

making something to hang my pretty handmade brooches up...

adding some new decorations...

and attacking"THAT" bottom drawer that all things are banished to when I need to finish them off....

elastic in shorts for Liam

testing out my new snaps and snap pliers to finish baby's bibs (thanks for the source Jennifer!)

weaving in the ends of a knitted Milo top (Ravelry link) for Isabella

hemming my Modkid Yoga skirt (embarrassingly sitting in the drawer since pre-pregnancy)

hemmed my Smashing Smock from Seams to Me by Anna Marie Horner (another item 99% finished pre-pregnancy)

and I also hemmed a new dress (also made pre-pregnancy) for me, but that needs ironing before photographing. Voile sitting in a drawer for six months apparently creases terribly.

I did achieve some NEW projects too while enjoying my nice clean craft area... but I'll leave them for a post of their own

Nesting !!! Your crafty area looks sooo neat... mine is always a mess. I might need to get some tips from you. Where is all of your materials??? Is there a secret door somewhere?? We have a small living area and no spare crafty room so my stuff lives in the lounge room / dining area too! What is your secret?

I am wondering on the sustainability of your sewing nook - does it still look like that?
