Shabby shop finished

Sorry it's been a while since I was last here but sometimes life just gets in the way. However ... my little shabby shop box is now finished so there are lots of photos here.

 

 I realised just now that you can't actually see inside the wardrobe which contains bales of fabric, cards wrapped with lace and some pretty boxes.

 More fabric inside this low shelving unit, topped with baskets of wool, bags of patchwork fabrics and dress patterns.

 There are cushions piled inside the little cupboard in the centre of the floor and plants, birdhouses and jugs.

Vases and more gift boxes on the little wall shelves. Patchwork fabric on the wire shelves.

Flowers everywhere.

In and amongst I've been taking an online workshop on developing sketchbooks. If you're even slightly interested in the topic I can heartily recommend Dionne Swift's workshops. We worked at our little books for two weeks and I now have so many circular ideas for stitching projects and also lots of new techniques for working in my sketchbooks.
