Check out today’s Oregonian Homes & Gardens section cover:
That’s my studio, and my foofy kittenhead! You may remember a couple weeks ago, in a photo-of-the-day post, I mentioned having had a photographer visit – well, it was for this article!
My studio landed the cover and a whole spread! So exciting! You can read the article over here…
To kind of go with this, I was interviewed (about yarn-making and knitting mostly) for the Oregonian’s knitting blog! There are also a few more shots from the studio photoshoot over there.
I don’t think I ever mentioned here that a couple months ago my studio was featured in the Craft: blog! That was fun! With an interview about craft space organization, in which I was pretty honest about my naturally messy nature! Unfortunately, having had to photograph the room back in January, in Portland, I had to deal with terrible lighting, bummer.
So… today was supposed to start my series of me showing you the studio, until I went to sort through and edit the hundred-ish shots I took a couple weeks ago, when it was in perfect condition and there was good natural light, and… horribleness… I somehow managed to delete them from my memory card before transferring them to my computer… gone forever. So sad. The room is not in such perfect shape anymore (fixable though), but I do need to wait till tomorrow to re-shoot since it was too late in the day and the sun was setting by the time I realized what had happened…
So, these are a few shots to hold you, and next week I’ll be doing the series, telling you about where things came from, tips and tricks, etc, complete with good, well-lit photographs!
Let’s take advantage of this delay – if you see anything in these photos that you want to know more details about, tell me in the comments!
It’s pretty silly that I’m finally posting about my studio as I’m packing it all up to move… yeah… oh well. It should help motivate me to get it looking fabulous and functioning asap in the new house!

This set-up is awesome. I want to do a decent organization in my office/spare room…but haven't had the time/money to get IKEA stuff, and haven't had any inspiration to create my own stuff.

oh awesome; i'm excited to hear your thoughts about studio-organizing! i'm especially interested in your yarn wall-tubes (oatmeal containers??) & would like to hear about how that works, exactly. i knit a lot of lace & have a lot of single skeins of lace- & fingering-weight yarn that could inhabit some tubes pretty awesomely.

I would love to hear about the containers on the walls. Are they oatmeal containers? I've been really inspired by the way Ysolda keeps her yarn on the walls, and I'd really like to hear more about how you have that set up. Also, I love the little cups hanging from the rod on the wall. Where did you get those?

hmm not sure what bowls you're talking about….. but the answer is probably Ikea – most of the colorful stuff all over my studio is from Ikea!
