Wrap

Finished the cotton, colourful triangle wrap and decided to make a light blue edging. It's a summer wrap and it will end up in the shop, this summer. An how about the dummy, the wrap is on? I bought two dummies, a black and white one, for the shop and picked them up yesterday. Completly happy with them!

In the meantime I can't say my house is my home anymore. For over a year now, I'm preparing the start of my business. I collected a lot of materials, fabrics, vintage products and tableware, wool blankets and lots and lots more. My home became more and more a house. That was fine, I had no other choice. Now I'm really starting, my house isn't a house anymore but a working space. I have boxes all over the place!! Like last week.. I received a box with cotton yarns for the shop. I guess that box was 1,5 meter by a meter high!! A box with packaging materials, a box with finished, blanket products.. And within a week or six I will receive over 400 kilo's fabrics! Pff.. need to find a solution here. Maybe you have a bigger house for me, somewhere in your pocket? haha.. Or affordable working space?? Would be nice!

But you know, within this chaotic 'mess' I'm really enjoying every step I make. Even all the things that go wrong, won't work or take much more time then planned. I'm getting more and more patience, more able to let go of the controll I always want and realize that all things have their own place and time. So for the working space.. that will come. I'm sure. Soon I will have a bigger house, or working space.

  4. The pale blue is an inspired choice for the edging. It really enhances the brighter colors, and brings them together!

    Good luck with finding as yet undiscovered room in your house/home. I know your business will be a success. Perhaps these spacial challenges are just "growing pains."

    Cheers!

  9. Best of luck with your new business! As for space, perhaps you could swap goods for the services of someone to build a storage or work unit for you? Or for display space at markets, etc? In any case I hope that your new endeavors are successful!

  11. Love the new mannequin and the completed shawl. Perfect color choices. And about the working space, maybe you'll have some space in your shop? One of my co-workers recently opened a thrift shop, but her sewing/alteration business is housed in there too. Now she is beginning to clean her house out from where she was doing all the sewing for so many years. Wish you the best and I'm enjoying your experiences as well. Vicariously. :-)
