a peek into my nook

I've been meaning to post some pictures of my little sewing nook for a while now. But, let's be honest, I'm not the best at posting pictures of anything other than my little nugget. I also find it somewhat difficult to take decent pictures of my home. I don't have a wide angle lens for my camera, so it's hard to get everything in my shots. So, please excuse the quality of my pictures. I am shooting them with a thrifty fifty. I really need a better lens, but they are just SOO expensive! This one will have to do for now!

My little nook is built in a long closet in our family room. The closet hasn't had doors in 20 years, so I used curtain panels to hide my mess. Travis built me a desk that expands from one side of the closet to the other. My computer is on one side (too messy for pics!) and the sewing nook on the other. There is a hole in the middle of the desks for fabric bolts. I skirted the whole thing to once again hide my mess! I've yet to find a good way of storing and displaying fabric. Because of this, I have an insane stash under my bed in baskets! I often forget what I actually have. But, for once I know where all of my spools of thread are and what colors I need to STOP BUYING! I think I have 20 spools of green thread! Any who, this is my little nook, Enjoy!
