At last, the new & improved Doily Factory is starting to feel like home. It's bigger than it's ever been (it could not possibly have gotten any smaller) and it seems so decadent and luxurious to have space to spread out in. I feel like I should be creative on some sort of uber-spectacular level now.
At the very least, I've greatly reduced the possibility of making an appearance on the evening news, live footage featuring a frightening piece of heavy equipment carefully extracting me from a toppled tower of fabric.
I've wrestled this beast back into order.
I could never cut it at The Gap. No natural folding skills.
Turns out dressers make great storage for odds & ends of fabric so everything is neatly put away. For now.
Knick-knacks are out and pin cups are in service as I get back to work.
I'm in a red, white & blue mode at the moment.
Cleared out some of the old inspiration to make room for new.
Hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend.
The fabric is so pretty and I love the cups you have your pins in :)

ReplyDeleteWelcome back! The doily factory looks uber fantastic! Doesn't it feel good to have it looking like that? Although I know at my house once the creativity starts, the organization flies out the window.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next!

ReplyDeleteHugs,

Everything looks so nice and orderly. My craft room looks like something out of Twister! BTW - I popped by your Etsy and the candy dish you have billed as "vintage Serving Dish for Healthy Family Snacks" just cracked me up! I choked on my coffee, I did. Have a great Monday! -- Kathy
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric storage!
ReplyDeleteOrganization is a wonderful thing. Have you read "Homer and Langley"? It's a novel based on the real-life story of two hoarding brothers, and indeed, heavy equipment did need to be brought in to find one of ... oh, I don't want to spoil the ending. But you can guess.
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for the new and improved doily factory! Not only is it orderly but it appears inviting and inspiring. Love the red, white and blue. I need to get one of your flag creations. Off to check etsy!
ReplyDeletelookin' good - I just love stacks of fabric, it's so pretty! :)

ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing more of the new digs...and I will keep my eyes open for the new creations on Etsy!

Your stash is dreamy, Amy. I actually worked at Gap and despised folding. I think yours is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAre those iris I see out your window? Oops, sorry. I know this is an inside post, not an outside post. Can't help it.
I have to say I'm quite impressed at your organizing speed. Are you totally settled? It's been ten years for me and I'm barely settled!
LOVE the flag pillows, btw.
Good to "see" you again. The piles of fabric look good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteAnnette
So glad you are back, I've missed seeing you in the throes of the creative process!
ReplyDeleteI sweet friend! Glad to see your are back at it. LOL about folding skills! (I am challenged, too). You are VERY good at color coordinating!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your space! It all looks wonderful!

ReplyDeleteWarm hugs,
