My Pocket

compact living

Yesterday we finished putting together my sewing corner and I'm so happy about it! It turned out just the way I wanted it and I'm amazed at how much fits into that little alcove. There is plenty of room for more fabric in the hanging stash storage :o) and lots of places for tucking away bits and pieces.

The whole place, our home, has been quite transformed by all this rearranging and it makes me smile every time I go to the kitchen or between the rooms. The vibes are so much better! We live in a very small place really, compact living indeed, and it has the feeling of a loft in some ways with the windows set so low, no dining room, tiny kitchen, two bedrooms (mostly people here share a flat - we just happen to be a couple) and a tiny porch at the bottom of the carpeted stairs. I'll show you photos of it all once we've cleared away all the homeless belongings littering the floors. I can show you a limited view of the fireplace wall in our bedroom though - blue! :

Enjoy your day!

to do - doing it - done

Happy July to you!

I am happy with the way the weekend turned out. Minus the hot soup and the studying which didn't happen we managed to...

watch a film (Pride and Prejudice: I plucked the courage to suggest a girly film and I loved watching the costumes)

put up the kitchen shelves (they have been a project in waiting for ages now),

get a dining table (I love it! It used to be D's desk and I just painted the legs white while he polished the top leaving the dark stain and the worn look of it),

buy an oven (oh, the things we can cook now!),

and paint the chimney breast in the living room (green! Yes, the red was lovely too, but I have shared a room with it for two years now and it was time for it to go).

On a completely different note, I have added another Long Story page, about my family if you're interested.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and I wish that July will bring joy and summery adventures for you!
