in the studio...

I love the colour changes the seasons bring for me in the studio. These whites, greys, vanillas and purples are so pretty together...

mimmis opens today...

This empty space is now home to mimmis run by Miriam from bubba chenille and is filled with furniture and lovely goodies many of which are handmade. Want to see what the shop looks like now it's occupied? Well you can as it officially opens today at 9am so why not come for a drive to Forest Hill! mimmis is across the road from Caffe Sorella and Cafe 4342 .

My exciting news is that I have been busily moving my studio into mimmis over the past 2 days. I now have a light filled studio out of home - I better get moving and get to work!

rest area one.

with all the work that's going on around here I've been very careful to ensure I have proper breaks, after all one of the perks of working for your self is supposed to be freedom right? {Excuse the blankets and pillows, there have been a few nights of sleeping by the fire.}

I would love to show you rest area two. but I really need to get to work so will save that for next time. Here's to a productive day!

work station three.

The dining room is now the packing room. This is where I lay out my orders, give them their final clean and pack them. simple. then they are out the door and begin the journey to their new homes.

work station two.

Photo taken from the kitchen. Work station two is situated right as we walk in the front door and is where the bird & star garlands and necklaces are threaded and packed. The plan is to complete all work which needs to be done here today and surprise Ryo by having the table packed up and the room returned to normal by the time he gets home tonight. Wish me luck with that one! The good thing about work station two is that I can see the television (which lost it's colour and has only displayed black and white for a good 12 months now) from there and have enjoyed quite a few mid-day movies over the past couple of weeks as I work.

work station one.

Just thought I'd pop in to say hello. Things have been quite busy at the hot toffee studio since returning from life in style. I have really taken over the house this time! Work station one is actually in my studio and this is where glass is cut, fired, cleaned, sanded and made into the final product. ( The rest of the studio looks like a bomb has hit it as things that aren't needed immediately are piled upon other things which need to be filed etc )
