Upcycling - Things for my shed (T Pot)

The T Pot

 
Now that the Craft Shed is up and running (and filled with my junk), has it's official new name - 'T Pot' as in:
'T Bags' from the 'T Pot'. 
 
 I thought I would give a run down of how it has been fitted out.
 
Note the lush bag material yummy
 
My craft table was a re-purposed desk (pulled from a skip) which was stripped of the wood, cut to size, sanded down and made good with some table legs (found at the back of the garage).
 
Messy as usual.
 
 
  My coat hook hanger was hand crafted from an off cut of oak flooring and knobs from daughters broken check of drawers.  Shelves - husband fitted from old oak planks.
 
My 'easy chair' was purchased from a local charity shop - Perfect for a cuppa.
 
 
I don't have a wooden heart - but I do!

Drift wood heart (decoration). 
Youngest daughter and I made this from wood we collected from Devon beaches.
 
 

My work chair was donated from a friend.  It was a bit sad and broken down so I stripped it down, polished it and made a new seat pad for the chair.  It sits with pride and is just the right height.
 
I have moved in an old bookcase - left unloved and dusty in a corner of my house which holds all my patterns and books and bits and bobs.
 

Free motion machine embroidery - need to master this skill still.
