My workspace of late...

Of course, as soon as we down-sized our home, I am thrilled to say that our family has grown, and my husband is working from home.  Three grandchildren now, ages 2 and under, means a portable crib and toys have been added to our spare room/workroom, as well as extra desk space.  I have been doing my best to make the most of this small room. 
I found this antique secretary on Craigslist, and it has been perfect for storing all my books and paperwork while taking up very little floor space.   

The cabinet above, which we made from an old window, has been painted and now holds almost all my fabrics.  The linen cafe curtains which I made for this room when we moved in, have been replaced.  Over the summer, I found a bolt of unused floral chintz at a wonderful yard sale...I had not really thought about floral curtains, but 13 yards for $5 convinced me that I would love them.

So while I wait for Spring {we are blanketed in snow and temperatures are in the teens}, I hope to get to some sewing and knitting.  And of course, pouring over seed and plant catalogs that have been arriving in the mail,
and, spending some time with Elizabeth Lawrence and Katherine White...
