Stanley's Room

Being the clutter monster that I am, Stanley's room has turned into the most colourful stash of clutter in our house.

Whilst he was off sick we did a bit of rearranging and I finally sorted out this slide light that I bought years ago from the talented duo Suck UK Now a mega set up with some fantastic products!

For a while I tried my best with taking slide pictures on holiday and when we were out and about, but I always found the fluorescent light way too bright to actually see the images.  Plus Stanley kept sliding them out and they'd all end up in a heap behind the bed.  Hence sitting empty and unplugged for quite some time.

So I decided to bring home a few of my off cuts. We snipped them into squares and slotted them in.  We had fun arranging them around and the result was qutie alright if I say so myself.  The main thing is that Stanley likes them and they have so far stayed put!

This is a slightly cheated photo where I've added the strip in lit, via a bit of editing, otherwise the rest of the image would be black.  I know there must be a way to do this on the camera settings, just need to sort it out!

The little foxy cushion is a new purchase from my friend Becky Baur (Link coming soon hopefully!).  Other cushions from Thirty Five Flowers (Flowers! Louise wrote a very lovely bit about my screenprinting class recently on her blog here) and Jane Foster (Vintage Magic Roundabout.  I've got quite a collection scattered around the house) The paisely quilt is from when I was a child and the mad orange, knitted bear was a gift from a neighbour.

The next thing I want to tackle is a rug.....a big black bear.
