Sorting my new craft room!

Hi everyone, I have finally managed to start sorting out my craft room, I have displayed some of my cross stitch in this little corner, there are gifts from blogging friends here and some of my stitching too.
You will also see an assortment of books, the cross stitch book was purchased last year but I forgot I had it because it was stored in a box somewhere. I have also bought some lovely Tilda books from Amazon, I think this is going to be my favourite stitching hobby over the next few months.

I have also started a Little House Needlework design, it is the popular Little House Neighbourhood pattern.
I have provided the links for the books below

I made this pink felt strawberry following the design in one of the books, although I did alter it slightly, I made the leaves and the flower on the top a little different.      
Here is my new start, the Little House Needleworks design, it has been in my stash since last year, I have finally got around to starting it. I usually like to have a large stitching piece on the go as well as stitching small designs.  
This is a little work in progress area, you will see that I am stitching a duplicate of the recent Valentine giveaway I sent to Elisa and I have also nearly finished the stitching on the duplicate gift I sent to Hazel.
I have also finished stitching the pale green design that I started a few months ago, I am going to finish  it into a box. The little bird singing embroidery is a freebie from the Gum Tree Designers blog here, it was a coat hanger cover but I decided to make it into a sweet hanging ornament, although I am not sure about the blue I have chosen for around the edge.
Here are some of the craft books I have collected, I need a bookcase though! 
I have recently received this order of linen and threads from Sew and So, I use 32 count Murano linen quite a lot as I love the result. The blue/grey colour is for  a Victorian Sampler pattern that my husband bought me for Christmas.    

Thankyou for your visit, I hope you call again!

Looks great! My "craft room" has become a bit of a dumping ground for laundry and stuff. I wish I could get in it and get it organised although it is not so very big. x

I enjoyed looking around your craft room. Your work in progress area is great. I love the ABC sampler stitching, who designed that? I also love the TILDA books and have stitched several projects from them. I own three of them. Thanks for sharing your inviting space.

Hello, Lynn! Been too long a time since we've been in touch. Your crafts room is looking good. Books are great, aren't they? Love what you've been stitching.
I've been reading and reviewing books for major publishing houses and so busy with that. I love it. Have had little time for stitching, as you can imagine, but I do plug away at my bigger projects on the occasion. My new email is thebookishdame at aol dot com Let's talk again soon, Lynn!
Hugs, Deb
