Hello dear friends,
Yesterday morning at 7am(!) I took my camera along to the studio,
hence why the street is deserted! My studio is in this lovely line of shops and offices.
A couple of doors along is this gorgeous wedding/celebration cake shop.
Here is the entrance - Longferry House - has quite a nice ring to it I think!
And here are a few sneak peeks of what's going on.
I've been purchasing quite a few of these units...
A place to display the cards and tags that my lovely follower friends send to me.
I purchased this little shelf for £2 in a charity shop, perfect for housing all the little misting bottles etc.
Beginning to fill up the paper trays...
A view of my workdesk.. apologies terrible lighting in my photo, the sunlight is lovely but blinds are
due to be fitted very soon!
It's still a work in progress - various wall decals are going up, the bunting and butterflies of course.
Lots more crafty items still need to be transferred from home, but I really want to share with you
how things are going so far. Also my lovely Mum and Dad are driving all the way to Reading
on Friday (while I'm in work) to collect a table for me.
I wanted two big pine tables together to create a big square workplace for my classes.
I already had one but found its matching partner on eBay!
It's only a 170 mile round trip but so worth it!!
Thanks for stopping by and big thanks to those that email and keep in touch too.
Take care.

Hi Christine. Its great to see the pics of your studio taking shape. Will definitely have to visit when you get your classes started. Perhaps there will be the opportunity for 2-day workshops for those of us who live so far away. Anne x

Hi Christine, I love seeing how your studio is progressing, it is going to be amazing and I am so happy for you! What a beautiful setting it is in too, that wedding shop looks fantastic too and your entrance is very posh.......lovely. Crafty hugs, Anne x
Hi Christine - I love how your studio is taking shape. You must be working so hard to get it just right. The location is just perfect - a cake shop and a great pub nearby - what more could you ask.
Looking forward to more pics.

What a great space, Christine! It looks beautiful.
How exciting and how beautiful this is going to be for you and all those coming to your shop! Couldn't be more happier for you on this new adventure :) Lots of Hugs!! and Congrats...
Hi Christine, thanks for keeping us up- to-date with the progress on your studio, it is really taking shape now. Wish I was closer to visit and take part in a workshop but unfortunately many miles separate us. One day maybe.

Hi Christine, It's all beginning to look rather like a studio to me,how wondeful, it will be fabulous to have such a lovely working space so light & airy. How good are your mum & dad but bet they are really pleased to be helping you with your new venture.
That was a good bit of planning I reckon so near to a wedding cake shop, I see wedding stationery & wedding cards looming on the horizon. Good luck with it all wish it was mine !!!

Oh my darling, Christine! I am beyond happy for you! I cannot wait to see it all finished! Are you going to work in the studio full time? Now that you are an international TV star?! {wink} I am giddy with happiness for you!!!!!
Thanks for showing us the progress of your studio, it looks fantastic so far!
Its looking wonderful so far! The street is so quaint and gorgeous! xx
Looking good...hope the cake shop doesn't prove too tempting!!
Hello dear lady,
What a busy family you've been. Like Gloria, I am feeling the happiness too as you have kindly taken us along on your exciting venture. It's been a big step with lots of work but I think now, as each piece is put into place, you must feel pure delight. That is probably why your parents want to help, just for the pleasure of seeing their daughter filled with enthusiasm and happiness. I wish you every success; enjoy every single minute.
Best wishes Linda x
Hi Christine,
What a splendid job you are making of the studio. Seeing pics of the progress your making is as exciting as looking on the blog each day to see your projects. Are you able to tell me where I can get some of the paper wracks/trays like yours from? Would love some for my 12 x 12's. B.W. Carolyn x
Hi Christine, your studio looks amazing:)
Best wishes,
Dafi
What a beautiful part of the world you live in, it looks so lovely. Don't know how I missed seeing these wonderful photos yesterday, my iPad is slow and doesn't always display photos quickly! I think I need to update the software on it, oh well another techi job for my son when he gets round to it (you wouldn't think he's in IT!) I must say, your crafty place is really taking shape, how exciting for you and your family. I wish you good luck in your new venture. Take care Alison :)
The new place looks so inviting! Too bad I live in the USA's Pacific NW (that's up above California) or I'd be at the door when you opened up. The light is so nice inside. What a perfect place to browse or sit and create. I'm envious of those who live close enough to drop in.
Hi Christine
the studio looks lovely, really bright and airy. I bet you will have a great time working in there. can't wait to see the photos when it is finished.
Parents can be a great help can't they?

Your studio looks wonderful so far Christine and is really taking shape. Also the street it's in is amazing. I love the little shelf from the Charity Shop I love bargain finds. I would absolutely adore a space like this you're so lucky!

It's looking really good Christine. Lovely and bright!
I am so happy for you to have your own shop. Organization is the key and you are doing a fabulous job. Love the street and the shops.GBY!

Congrats on the new studio Christine! I've been a bit quiet due to the ME but also trying to craft as I was a very lucky lady and won a draw that Sue Wilson does everytime she reaches another 100 followers on her blog!!! I was dumbstruck and now I find you are having a studio... I'll have to ask Mr Wonderful if I can come for a class or two;)
lots of love
Lisa xx
