My Creative Workspace

Hi, everyone!

Maybe some of you would like to show where your creative ideas are born or brought to life. It’s exciting to get a little peek through the keyhole, isn’t it? Here, I’ll show you my favorite spot in the winter. I always move the table right up against the window because there’s more light there. I only tidy up the sunroom when I have guests coming over; otherwise, that’s my “creative workspace.” Would you like to show yours?

Warm regards from “Ina strickt”

Oh, now I’ve got you curious, and then I only show you such a narrow picture. No, no, the picture was actually supposed to look like this: 2nd attempt

Hi Tanja,

do you actually work there too? (I don’t mean that in a bad way) … mine never looks this great—my worktable is tidy for once today …

... This picture definitely reassures me ... my geode gives me good ideas...

@MyBabyDesigns,
das ist ein Platz zum Träumen schön. So viele liebevolle Kleinigkeiten, zauberhaft dekoriert - es muss ein Genuss sein, hier zu arbeiten. Wahrscheinlich würde ich nur staunen und genießen. Man traute sich kaum, Unordnung zu machen.

@Otterthaler_Haekelmaus
Bei Dir finde es praktischer eingerichtet, nicht so verspielt. Der schöne große Tisch bietet viel Platz, um sich auszubreiten. Körbe fürs Material, Lampe zum Fotografieren, großes Fenster und ein Bügelbrett - alles wichtige Utensilien für einen kreativen Arbeitsplatz. Und der Ecksitzplatz wirkt recht einladend.

Vielen Dank, dass Ihr uns einen Blick in Euer Reich gewährt habt. Vielleicht schaffe ich es ja noch, mein Bild zu "entfalten". Den technischen Support habe ich angeschrieben. LG - Ina

Liebe Tanja, ich bin begeistert und sprachlos! Alleine die Bilder sind ein Genuss. Es gibt so viele schöne liebevoll gestaltete Sachen und Details zu entdecken. Und alles ist so übersichtlich und ordentlich. Jedes kleine Teilchen hat seinen besonderen Platz. Wenn ich Dich besuchen würde, ich hätte artig die Hände auf dem Rücken und würde verzückt staunen. Du hast es Dir wirklich wunderschön gemacht. Danke fürs Zeigen. LG - Ina

I just looked through all the pictures. Oh man, it’s so beautiful.
I’m moving in December. You wouldn’t happen to feel like stopping by and setting up such a great space for me, would you? :-))))

Just kidding. But the ideas with the jars, the bulletin board, and all that are really good. I’ll see what I can come up with. I think I’ll definitely be able to get one of the basement rooms, and then I’ll make it cozy :-)
My husband doesn’t need a hobby room. .. But I

Hallo Tanja,
das ist wirklich ein Traum-Genuss Deine Bilder zu bestaunen, so gemütlich, verspielt. Man fühlt sich schon gleich pudelwohl, wenn man Deinen Heim-Arbeits-Bastelplatz so sieht.
Ich habe nicht mal einen eigenen Raum, aber unser Wohnzimmer ist recht groß, da sitze ich am Esstisch. Eine neue Schrankwand mußte her, um alles zu verstauen (sind erst umgezogen und haben uns vergrößert)
Übrigens habe ich auch diesen runden Nähkorb, nur in beige mit buntem Deckel. Motivstanzer und Nähmaschine besitze ich auch. Man hat ja viele Hobbys.

Bei Dir ist alles so aufgeräumt, stimmt. Bei mir ist rundherum alles in Schubkästen oder Stoffboxen verstaut. Nur was ich brauche liegt auf dem Tisch.
Danke das wir einen kleinen Einblick bekommen haben. Man kann sich gar nicht satt sehen. Einfach herrlich.

O je, so tolle Arbeitsplätze! Bei mir herrscht immer (kreatives) Chaos. Ich mache dann immer die Tür zu, damit keiner das Durcheinander sieht... Alle paar Wochen muss dann dringend aufgeräumt werden, sonst finde ich nichts mehr.Wenn es wieder mal so weit ist, mach ich vielleicht mal ein Bild. Aber im augenblicklichen Zustand ist der Raum nicht für andere Augen präsentabel.

Ruthk: Thanks, it’s good to know you feel the same way I do. :-)
I was afraid I was the only chaotic one

Ooh, wow. I’ve got everything scattered all over the apartment. A computer spot in the kitchen, a work corner on the sofa, and supplies in the closet in the living room and bedroom. ... Someday I’m sure I’ll get my own space, too.

@alle
Herzlichen Dank für ihre Kommentare und Interesse!
Bei mir war es das Gleiche - alles in Schubkästen oder Boxen verstaut (überall im Haus). Und dann hatte ich die Idee, die Handarbeitszimmer zu organisieren. Keine Ahnung, wieso ich nicht viel früher drauf gekommen bin! Wenn man so viel strickt und bastelt wie ich und aus einer Familie mit Kind, 2 Hunden und 4 Katzen kommt, ist es ein absolutes MUSS eigene Arbeitszimmer zu haben :-)
Schönen Montag euch Lieben!
LG Tanja

@Tanja,

WOW.... no words—well, one more: heavenly ;-)
@ Schnuckelina,

I resized my pictures in Photoshop before uploading them :-)

 @Arni and Ruthk
My workroom was (almost) tidy at that point)...I'll take a few pictures when I'm fully in action ..... then it looks different:-)...
and yes, it's a room where everyone meets.
It's in a really great central spot in the basement, with a view of the front door, and I notice everything that happens in the house. My youngest has a desk in my room with his PC on it. Maybe it seems strange to you that a 5-year-old has his own PC, but he is also learning to speak with it. He can only open certain pages on the internet, and I always have an eye on what he's doing.

My big table with the corner bench is very often the meeting place for the teens in the house. The whole crew sits there with me and talks about school, training, work, and what's going on with their friends. My husband comes after work and then eats right next to me, even though we have a huge eat-in kitchen. My uncle sits next to us with coffee and the newspaper.
And Junior also spreads Lego and modeling clay around on the table .... you can surely imagine the chaos ;-)

And once or twice a week the table gets cleared off because I do have to iron sometimes :-) And my table is always getting too small. And my chaos corner in that room is behind the door.... nicely hidden.

Oh, I think I’ve got it now. My yarn and I are actually scattered all over the house. I love sitting in the sunroom the most. It’s nice and bright here, and I can take good photos. Sometimes I also sit in the attic under the big skylight. My son gave me his big desk when he moved out—I have plenty of space on it and don’t have to put anything away after I’m done working. Best wishes—Ina

@Schnuckelina,

you have a great view and lots of light there ;-)

@Arni and RuthK,
my oh-so-big table has once again become too small; luckily it’s made of solid oak, otherwise... As promised, here’s a picture of the weekly chaos :-)

Dear Sabine, I think it looks beautifully lived-in and cozy. A room full of life. And just as you wrote, everyone loves to gather here. It’s the most important room of all! Everyone feels comfortable here, like they belong, and well looked after with all their things. No wonder this is also where your creative projects come to life. Hugs — Ina

@Nina,

I also have an attic to convert, but unfortunately the only way up is a rickety ladder, and I don’t want to climb that high ;-)
But 50 square meters—that’s enough to make anyone green with envy… please, please send a picture when it’s finished—I’d love to see it!
A good tip from one mom to another: be sure to include a play corner :-)


@Ina,

sometimes there’s just too much going on in my room, like when I want to write a pattern and everyone keeps talking at me.... then there’s only one thing that helps: fingers off the keyboard and maybe a stern look.

And after the ironing chaos, it was tidy for a whole two minutes—then I spread everything I need out on the table again... which doesn’t bother me at all anymore.

At first, I was always embarrassed when someone rang the doorbell and the door opened.... the sight of my messy table—but today everyone already knows what I’m doing there and heads straight to the workroom to see what I’ve got on my needles again.

@Sabine:

Yes, a play corner and a kids’ craft table are definitely in the plans!
Over the last 6 years, I’ve realized time and again how impractical a home office is without space for a child or children...
There’s no way to work in a relaxed way...

And of course: there will be photos—if only out of sheer “pride of ownership” *laughs*
