I'm so pleased. My sewing corner photos were a hit! Christelle's editor even asked for an additional picture. She was particularly taken with my button jars that line the window sill. So I just took this photo and hurled it off through cyberspace to France.
When I was tidying my sewing corner in preparation for the photo shoot, I decided to spruce up a plain jane basket. It stores all sorts of mending supplies and sits in the bottom tier of a Victorian-era sewing stand. Voilà! A makeover was achieved with spray paint and a new knob. Easy peasy.
Yesterday, I found a charming chair cushion on sale at Pier 1. Isn't it the sweetest? So much zippier that my old one. And since I was already photographing my button jars, I figured, why not re-shoot the whole area with my new chair cushion in place? To see these new photos, they have been placed in my original post for your viewing pleasure here.
Help! I can't seem to stop tweaking my sewing corner! It's such fun. And I am truly enjoying my new camera. Between my blog, website and Etsy shop, I take several hundred photos per week. How nice to finally have a decent camera. And how nice to have loyal readers like you. Many thanks!

What a cozy nook you have! I grew up in Norwalk and while looking up a property where a friend used to live I came across your site....happy I found it!

Susan I thought I was the only one that had that many buttons.
Mine are still on the cards. Many years ago they were thrown out by a lady that had owned a sewing shop. I sure am glad she didn't want them. I love your sewing area. Your pictures are beautiful with your new camera. Your pictures are always beautiful. They are always so colorful. Thanks so much for sharing all of your ideas.

What a splendid place for creating. I love the shot of your glass jars filled with lovely buttons.
