Answering a request (picture heavy) [EDITED FOR INFO]

I had a reader some time ago ask for me to share how I display some of my smalls/exchanges and so forth. She thought I had so many...I DO!!!
I apologize for taking so long to do so-I finally remembered to take pics today so I could share :)
Please remember this is MY room-nobody else has anything in this room so I can take up as much space as I need. I am outgrowing this space though and will soon start displaying in one of our spare bedrooms :)

[EDITED] I am a hands on type cross stitch lover. I believe in making things I can use and displaying them/using them-people that visit me are allowed to handle them.
AS for dust-YES, I have it. It's not as bad as you think to clean the room as a lot of the displays are in baskets and that helps with dusting the furniture. The biggest part I have to move around is when I need to use my work table-which you see in the first pic. I have to move some of the items to make room to work when I am doing finishing. Once I open the other room up for displaying-that will help and I can keep the the work table ready to use. When my smalls need cleaning, I put them in a small mesh bag and put them in the dryer for a few minutes on no heat. Works perfectly :) AND, yes, it's hard to leave the room...I spend a LOT of time in there :) It makes me happy!![EDITED]

    New commandment, 'Thou shalt not covet Becky's stuff' !!!!!
    I think I am going to have to send my DD to boarding school so I can convert her bedroom into a sewing room - How can you bear to leave that room, it is so gorgeous?

    By Blogger Tessa, at 6:33 AM  

  • Wow, Becky, your room is amazing! I love all your displays and wish I had a room like this:) I told my DH I wanted the loft converting into a stitching room! I don't think he took me seriously though!

    By Blogger Sally, at 6:45 AM  

  • Wow, Becky! Wow, wow, wow! I have a room for myself, too, but... I have too many books to be able to display my stitchy projects. I need another room!!

  • Your display is gorgeous, I mean really stunning. There are just too many wonderful things to comment on! But my single question is who cleans that room? That must be a real bear moving everything to clean then putting it all back! I can't even think about it! It makes my head spin!

    Your cross stitching is just amazing. I think one of the reasons that you have so many things is because you have such a true devotion to the craft. Your work is beautiful and inspiring and motivating. I love how you display everything. Thank you so much for sharing your special room with us.

    By Blogger Nicki, at 6:30 AM  

  • Okay, I just have to ask. I hate bothering you and keeping you from your stitching, especially after seeing that you had 70!! comments to this post! In the basket, on the bottom shelf of the wooden heart cutout table, left side is a needle roll??? that has animals and such on it. I love it. Its in the basket, front left corner - closest to you if you're standing in front of it. Did you stitch this? If so, do you recall what pattern(s) you used? Thanks Becky

    By Blogger Julie, at 9:57 AM

    I am on my knees in adoration and utter submission to your superior skills in the Art of Displaying Needlework. I am SO NOT Worthy (in the immortal words of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey of SNL)
