Hi! A long time ago I promised to show how my workplace looks. The other day my husband and I had a thought up and had established a support for tapes. Of course, it is possible to improve indefinitely, but for me it is already convenient and comfortable to work here, and this is important.
On the Internet there is a set of options of interiors of workshops, all of them are approximately divided on cozy beautiful offices where everything is picked up for colors, beautifully placed on shelves by equal ranks and nothing gives presence of the person there, and art and workshops into which it is possible to peer for a long time in attempts to distinguish location of a desktop. I have an average option. I am very much sympathized by cozy office, I have got used to work in purity and to have an opportunity to sort the creative disorder during a couple of minutes after completion of work. But it also has elements of an art-workshop. To keep balance I am guided by several rules, here they are:
- The more often you use, the closer store.
- Each thing must have it’s place!
- Hide where you will look for.
- On the one bowl - availability, on another - a dust collection.
And so, now we pass directly to my workplace: it is a corner in the state muddy room. But it is very cozy corner))) From the general zone it is separated by a couple of racks. One rack completely belongs to me, another – for a general purpose. I work at old, almost antiquarian table at which my father did homework. There are a heap of scratches, even a hollow on it, but still it is very steady and strong. Now there is no such any more.
We make the way closer to a workplace. The main advantage of this apartment - is a view from the window. There are sprawling maples, lindens, birches and kindergarten under windows settled down. It is the fifth floor. Birdies chirp In the mornings:)
According to the first rule here is everything that is most often used: a needle case which I have made by myself, coils with threads, a calendar where I note holidays and master classes and a box with pens and brushes. There was an idea to make a box in the form of a short flight of stairs, but I have already got used to this container. Still there is a chest in which some constant in work things hide: small tools, beads for eyes, scraps of fabrics and works left unfinished. Better now not to open it)))) Periodically there is a book of the income expenses on a table which I very carefully keep, but generally it and albums with sketches hide behind the back in the general rack.
Two subjects that are extremely important for the maintenance of a desktop in purity - a desktop wastebasket and a flypaper. The wastebasket, perhaps, looks not really esthetically, but in my case, with a cover there will be only one trouble: only one hand is usually free, so there is nothing to press a pedal with, and the cover revolving will be soiled with a paint which is quite often flies to a bucket too. The flypaper relieves of a fine dust, threads and spangles.
On the right there is the queen of a table - the Janome Silver Line sewing machine. The poor thing is old, has a couple of eaten spots and scratches on boards, but works regularly. Pedal and other socket tools and big cutting scissors I store in the lower box of a table.
On a wall I have decided to hang up only two diplomas. One - from my debut Hello Teddy in the 2009th, and another is absolutely fresh from Moscow Fair. There is a Doll-me, but it is not standard and so bright that I was afraid to hang up it over a desktop - will distract.
The husband has made a support for tapes of beautiful shod corners. All has coincided ideally: corners, hooks and laths. As we have established it only recently, I still don't use her especially, I will perhaps reduce quantity of tapes on poles.
The most precious jewelry - a rack with fabrics! The top boxes occupy mainly the cottons which are spread out by the colors. By the way, it is an excellent way to store fabrics! I have put them thus about one and a half year ago and still never touched all box regarding reduction to an order. I only get and stick back what is necessary in work.
There is a pair of containers with beads and palettes, a chest with a band, couple of remarkable books are stored from below: Also there are two beautiful jars with a band. I have spotted this idea on the Internet, but in practice it was not that convenient: tapes are confused, covers sit too densely. But it is beautiful.
There is a box with paints for a batik on the left. As you could notice, I have many chests)) In total there are 9 pieces. And a myriad of containers. They in itself are beautiful and they can be put anywhere.
In the biggest chest (real, made from a tree!) laces are stored. Among other there are ancient French works of art. I have also an "inspiration board". It is a fresh acquisition so far I have occupied her not so much with materials on some preparing project, but mainly with just what is very much pleasant to me. But there is already a couple of pieces of paper with instructions, left unfinished little men and a photo with an owly.
Below on a board mini-clothes pegs on which orders hang are pasted. It is simpler to me to be guided in orders in this way. There are many orders have been collected. Now I will stop writing, and go urgently to do)) It is very pleasant to remove complete orders from a clothes peg and to throw out.
And in end - a couple of words about convenience. A mouline threads I store in a chest, having divided them by the colors and having put in separate bags. It is so convenient if you, of course not a professional, and you have the whole heap of these threads... then it is simpler to buy at once a full revolving object that is put in shops)) I store beads here in such separate containers where each cover opens separately. First, such container is always possible to grab with yourself if it is necessary to finish work outdoors, and secondly beads don't mix up in them. And the second picture with riches here is for an appearance. And what a photo report without riches?))))
That's all! There are a lot of things I haven't shown yet. For example, as I store packing and where in the house the synthetic winterizer hides. I have hidden from excess eyes the left unfinished preparations and the place of Internet connection. Let there be an easy innuendo :)
