Ode to "Shabby Vintage Junk"

I am slowly getting sorted!! I have collected so many new fabrics lately that I have had to buy industrial shelving for the spare room just to store part of my collection.

I am always on the look out for pretty new storage solutions, so when I witnessed this old cabinet being dropped of at the local oppy, I practically ran inside to bags it, before anyone else had the chance. It was one of those "heart-stopping-lump-in-your-throat" moments. I knew that it would be perfect. Lucky I did race for it, by the time I drove my car around the front to pick it up the lady could have sold it five times over.

I picked it up for a song, just ten dollars, plus the ten I spent on metal fly wire to replace to glass doors. My most wonderful dad spent the day putting in the fly wire for me, and it suits the cupboard perfectly.

Miss Tamarah over at "shabby vintage junk" would be proud, I'm sure :)

Anyway, I have been trying to take a few nice pictures, but it seems that my small person has left a permanent smudge on the lens of my camera - another one bites the dust! I have also managed to squeeze it into a part of the room that is obscured by another wall, that leaves a constant shadow across it... Oh well.

Any who.... I am re-arranging the studio. Trying to make it function again. I have spent the last 2 months sewing on the kitchen table, and the house is chaos. I have invested in some plastic storage tubs to separate my scraps, one for every colour of the rainbow, so now I must remember to sort as I go.

Well I am off to bed.

Hope you are well and happy, wherever you are.

Mwah!
