doing the stock room shuffle

 the alcove before (above) and after (below)
 wall of shelves before (above) and after (below x2)...I think I could fit another 4 or 5 bolts of fabric up there!

 all the felt fluff has been dusted away and everything has been jiggled and made room for, and although I have now found room for everything it hasn't gone unnoticed that yesterday's blog readers selflessly offered to help me store my new fabric in their own cupboards, so I have decided to repay  the kindness with a give-away!
 A set of 7 fat quarters (one each of the new fabrics) will be posted to one lucky comment leaver (and you don't need to offer free storage to win!)
 Just leave a comment on this blog post to enter, and I will draw a winner over the weekend

  1. Good Morning from the USA!! I found your Etsy Shop this morning and I LOVE it!! I am looking for some Felt Ornament Patterns and I found 3 items in your Etsy Shop I will be purchasing - The Christmas Tree Garland, cupcakes and 1 more (already can't remember!!) I will be spending lots of time "looking around!" LOVE your shop - I am a 1st Grade Teacher and miss my "crafting." I have decided it is TIME for me to resume things in life that "I" enjoy. **This is also my comment to enter your drawing for the fabrics!! LOVE!!! Enjoy your day!! ~ Lauren Ayers

  56. I love to see a tidy workroom. I try to do so with mine but while tidying it I always find something I had forgotten about and then spend the next half hour wondering what to make with it, playing with it or just admiring it. But you can never have too much fabric so please enter me in the draw for some of your lovely bright stuff. Philippa, WendyRoomCreations

    i just can't decide which lovely supplies to order....it's all in my basket but i keep changing my mind. I think after viewing your storage racks my 30 Asda tubs filled with goodies, look at little measly. But some gorgeous fabric to put on the front of my daughter's purses - decided I should make her one in every colour after reading your blog tutorial would be fabby. Best of luck to everyone. Love your site! bronb x
