I’ve had this desk for years. It used to be my daughter’s when she was little. It’s the perfect size for my sewing machine and all the things that I need while sewing. (Including my purple TV) Now that the Sewing/Craft room is almost complete, I’ve been spending lots of time organizing everything. The desk was no exception.

The Sewing/Craft Room Window
My sewing/craft room is very small. It’s only 6′ x 7′. Everything in the room is small, including the window. But it’s one of the first things that I see when I walk into the room. The walls are white, but because of that little window, when the sun shines in, I have a lilac glow through the whole room. And on a sunny day, I have rainbows dancing on the walls. I thought I’d invite you in to my little sanctuary to see part of my little piece of Heaven.
Welcome to Creatively Sam’s:
This is the tiny window in my sewing/craft room.
I wanted to add some privacy, but I needed the sun to shine in. I chose to make a lace curtain with an open pattern. I only used one panel because I didn’t want folds to block the sunlight.
Then I made curtains and a valance from Lilac Satin.
I added Curtain Tie Backs to keep the curtains open so the sun can shine through. (I’ll be doing a tutorial on how I made them)
So that I could have the rainbows dancing in the room, I added a white tension bar. (I painted the brass that was on it with acrylic paint) From the tension bar, I strung crystals from fishing line. They seem to hang in mid-air.
I been fascinated by the rainbows that come from crystals since I was a kid & saw the Disney movie Pollyanna. (that movie had a great impact on me) They put me in a creative mood & bring me such an inner peace.
Hope you enjoyed the first glimpse into my new Sewing/Craft Room.
Glitter!
I love glitter, especially the fine glitter. I can’t help it, I’m hopelessly addicted. I’ve tried to stay away from it, but the sparkles just call to me. To say that I was excited when Walmart got a new 12 pack in, is putting it mildly. The colors are glorious. I’ve already used the green for the St. Patrick’s Day T-Shirt!
This is what I found:
I was immediately in love when I turned the box over.
There was purple, lilac, pink, red, blue, green, black, white, turquoise, gold, silver & copper. All in a fine texture! I had to have it! Continue reading
