a plush maker studio

One of the things that I like most in my work is that being a manual job, while I work my mind can wonder and wonder...(well, until I chop off one finger, of course, but, anyway...)
I was saying that when I am working on some piece, I often think of the same gestures that I have in common with all the other crafters around the world...for example,how many of you use the floor like I do? I really can't SIT properly at my desk, I stay there just for sewing with the machine. Instead I spend hours in the position you see in the fourth picture. I know that maybe it's not very healthy (I often suffer from backache when I work for more than 4 hours with no break), but I feel really comfortable like that , and everything is just at the reach of my hand...well, when things get messy like in the second picture, it becomes difficult to find some little useful objects, like my sneaky scissors (I loose them at least 4 times a day..)...

every 3 or 4 day I clean up all the little pieces of fabric and thread and I fold all the fabrics away, but it's stronger than me, after few hours it becomes exactly as in the second picture...
and, does it happen to you also, to have small pieces of thread on every item of your wardrobe? and people approach you saying "I think you've got something on your coat" or something like that...the funny part is that it's starting to happen to my boyfriend as well...eheh..

have a marvellous week folks
