I’ve been out to play in the snow a little and got thoroughly bruised in the process,
but a lot of fun all the same.
Mostly though I’ve been staying warm in my nest,
playing with new toys
and slowly trying to make things both more pleasing to look at
and easier to use.
When the sun does make an appearance, my desk is the perfect place from which to enjoy it,
although the view more frequently looks like this, luckily I have plenty of knitting to be getting on with!

I really like the yarn storage idea! Pretty!
Lovely! I just posted photos of my studio unpacking and organizing progress and its so fun to picture everyone organizing and making nicer work and craft spaces for the new year. It’s cold and snowy where I am too, it’s good motivation for knitting!
I love those cubbies for yarn storage! I’m about to do a whole revamp of my stash, and that’s such a creative use of wall space. Pretty, too!
It’s been in the high 70s (F) in Los Angeles for the past week, so I can’t really sympathize with the cold weather! It seems like it would be a lot easier to get knitting done with weather like that!
Ooo you have a kitchen aid mixer? I’m jealous. Ha ha. Your pics look so cozy and lively. I can’t imagine living somewhere where it snows like that. It rarely snows here and when it does it practically never settles. Of course, it’s summer here at the moment and we’re surviving 40 degree heat.
What a beautiful view, I love sitting by a window with the sun shining in. Enjoy your KitchenAid – I don’t know how I ever managed before I got mine. I make bread almost every day now (it doesn’t help that I’m gluten free so I HAVE to make my own bread, as I refuse to pay $5 a loaf)
I love the baskets on the wall, what a great idea to showcase and store your pretties at the same time. And how great is that drawer full of fun things? Makes me want to go paw through it.
This entire entry was beautiful to look at. Where in the world did you find those cozy cylinders to hang on the wall for your yarns? I really like the idea. The view from your window is lovely… and sooo not American. I love it!
You live right across the street from my ex-boyfriend! In fact, I think once when I was over at his place, my computer picked up a wireless network called Ysolda Teague :)
Oh wow – did you just get the KitchenAid? I just got one for my birthday. I have many plans for it but firstly, I want to see what it can do with egg whites!
What a lovely post, lovely storytelling with pictures too!
Wait, wait, wait. What’s that hat? I’m looking through the patterns I have from you and I can’t figure it out. Must have it now!
I love the picture in the snow where the orange hat is the biggest bit of color. Great pic!
lovely photos! what a great way to start the new year-organized, neat & lovely to look at.
I am totally inspired by your craft area organization! I will soon be finishing off my basement and am super excited for creating my very own knitting studio. It will be so nice to have a totally dedicated space just for knitting- what fun!
Your studio is so organised! I love those snow photos, you look like you had a lot of fun sledging.
Lovely photos!
another person with kitchenaid envy ;) love your pics of your flat-it has an inspiring feel to it. :) x
Wow, your yarn looks amazing on the wall in those storage boxes, great idea! Oh, and thanks for the tip off for the year planner, mine arrived today and I’m far too excited about it! x
I love the atmosphere of snowy quiet and industrious indoors that you have created here.
Love the yarn display on the wall!
very lovely!
I absolutely love your studio/desk area! What are those containers mounted on the wall and stuffed with yarn? I may need to get some!
Love the yarn and thread organization. And the sunny desk! Stay warm!!
Funny seeing the Square from a slightly different angle! Lovely to see de-cluttering and tidying going on – somethine I aspire to but rarely manage – shall look forward to other de-clutter projects appearing.
How lovely to see pics of snowy Edinburgh! It’s my adopted home town (although now I live on the other side of the world).
I LOVE those yarn circles! Such a great idea! I should try it too! Thanks for the idea. :-)
How lovely ! Your place looks no inviting and cosy. I love the basket yarn display.

Looks like a fun time! Your yarn storage is absolutely brilliant.
You’re doing a much better job de-cluttering than me, I have to say! That yarn of mine just doesn’t like hiding in closets or boxes and keeps wanting to come out and say hello.
You also have good taste in furniture, I have that same bed from Ikea.
I love the Ravelry window open on the desktop!
May I ask where to find yarn cubbies like those? I love them!
