I keep my threads in a vintage card catalog indexed with paint chips. Above it, I have an inexpensive piece of metal from the hardware store used as a magnet board to hold images related to current projects.
I put the documentation of shows and projects in these black / gray project boxes, slides for teaching in the smaller boxes... more tools and supplies in the tall vintage filing cabinet. I use the smaller filing cabinet for paper filing. I found this great little filing cabinet (it opens from the top and is on casters!) for $6 at the
St. Vincent De Paul thrift store in Los Angeles.
more shelving with wire baskets on lower levels holding projects and Frieda, my dressform, in front of some corkboards... and that'd be Frank in the background making salsa or something in the kitchen
more of the corkboards (which I painted white to reflect light and see work more easily) and my trusted old Singer and my and Lily the cat's favorite piece of furniture – the pressing table. I love my pressing table.
the pressing table again, the Consew industrial machine, and some tools
I'm making what I call a Bird's Nest Dress, which requires that I search out every string, cord, ribbon and yarn that I have to see if it's worthy to be woven into this piece... Thus I have created the perfect cat opportunity.
