A pretty crafty bedroom?

My vintage spool holder now has a fresh coat of white paint (thanks Paul), it will one day sit in my new pretty crafty bedroom.  And speaking of my new pretty crafty bedroom, above is a photo of how it looks right now ... not so pretty!  In fact, rather unattractive and very cold, just when we are having another spell of cold weather too!  We decided this time we would do things properly, which means adding insulation to the outside walls of the bedroom (that's right, there wasn't any insulation originally in our home).  An electrician is coming tomorrow for some wiring then the insulation can be added so a couple more nights in this cold room.  Never mind, I will keep my chin up and keep the goal of a pretty crafty bedroom firmly in my mind!  As you may be able to imagine, things are in a bit of a mess around here so I have only managed a bit of hand sewing, three more Farmers Wife blocks:  #5 Bat Wing; #80 Single Wedding Star; and #91 Strawberry Basket.  Wendy xx

    Hello Wendy,

    Hope to see you snug as a bug in your new room soon. The insulation will make the world of difference. The spool holder came up a treat, does it swivel around?

    Happy days.

    The spool holder looks so pretty with its new coat of paint and all those spools in it... will be great to get your room but it is worth the extra time to do a great job...

    Exciting times ahead for you with a special room to do your creating. I hear that folks that have had insulation put in their homes are amazed at much warmer they are.....good luck & have fun!

    Spool holder has come up very nice. I understand all about plasterers, sparkies and all that! lol. It will be so worth it in the end and the insulation makes all the difference too.
