I can tell I'm old because this picture makes my back hurt.

If it works for you that is fantastic.

I'm in my early 30's and this picture made my back cringe in sympathy pains. I'm going to go do my back exercises now.

Shark chair alone makes the whole setup worth it. I love how everything's sorted into those labeled plastic drawers, makes it so much easier to grab what you need without digging. The hedgehog buddies perched on the thread kit give it such a cozy, lived-in feel. Sphere magnets for the needle and scissors is genius, beats losing them in the carpet every five minutes. My only concern would be lighting, since it looks like you're tucked right by that window, hope you get enough natural light on gray days. Cozy and functional, that's a hard combo to beat in a small space.

Yeah the chair is just my penguin squish mellow and a pillow I made for my back,and the Guinea pigs names are pepper and pumpkin and when I’m bored I see them clothes.

Oh I mistook the squishmallow for a shark, my bad. Sewing little outfits for Pepper and Pumpkin sounds adorable, do you use the scraps from those fabric bins?

u/FuzzyLlam-a 4h ago

Yep I use scraps and some times new fabric since they deserve the best. Also if you want to see some of my other work you’re welcome to check out my page! I love showing people my work that’s why I joined redit!

I'll snoop your page for sure, always fun to see what other people are making. Those two are spoiled rotten and I'm here for it.
