The Hut on the Patch

Well, after four months of building and sorting, the Hut is finally open for business ;)  It only took three days for me to fill and sort everything (although, I'm quite sure I'll find some more bits lurking in the dark corners of the house).  So lets have a little tour shall we?  Above is the felt and fabrics, 

 then we have the packing stuff, the stock, card, cushions pads, etc, 

then we have the work bench side!  Buttons, findings, felt balls, zips, etc...yummy-ness itself over this side.

I haven't found a permanent place for the ribbons and bias yet!  Hubby says he will make me a portable ribbon stand though, so watch this space.

Ooh, and my felt order arrived yesterday so I could top up the stock levels.  There's also three new colours which I'll pop in a separate post ;).

This is what the Hut looked like after the open day at the weekend.  I love this picture..it looks so cosy and inviting.

So there you are, I haven't photographed the other shelves or my packing/cutting table yet/boards yet, but you get the idea.  My very own workshop - The Hut on the Patch.

Last Preparations...

Today we have been to Ikea for the last few bits for The Hut on the Patch.  Billy bookcases in the boxes...I can't wait to get moved in next week!  Back tomorrow to launch a give-away to celebrate the opening, so make sure you come back won't you ;)

Progress

Firstly, let me thank you all for the lovely comments on my exciting news announcement a few days ago.  It means a great deal having all those fabulous words said about the things I make.  

The above picture of my new workshop was taken a few days ago.  It's got a few more rows on it now :o).

There won't be any windows as we're on the look out for a second hand patio door that will allow much more light in.  I'm getting rather excited!!  I'll be asking you all for name recommendations too, so get thinking ;o)

I've made great progress on my long list of orders too.  I've had more added along the way, but I seem to be getting on top of it all.  I did have an order over the weekend for a Gift Set of the soaps and scrubs that would be used as a raffle prize, so that gave me the perfect opportunity to try one of the fabric baskets that had been on my 'list of things to try'.   I love this, so I'll definitely be making more.  

Right, off to prepare for a little boy's first day back at school tomorrow :o)
