In our garden is a shed. For ten years it has been a repository for 'Things'.
There have been boxes of books, boxes of pictures, some tools, gardenchairs ...and so on.
Now it looks like this., due to some serious decluttering.
I had a Plan.
I have recently been funded two afternoons 'Carer-sitter' for my husband, to give me free time. I thought about what I would do in those hours, meet a friend, go walking, shopping....
I don't always want to go out, so my plan is to make this shed a space for me. It's going to be insulated and lined, and then painted. There is already electricity there.
When it's ready I'm going to bring my sewing machine/table/fabric here, together with my painting things.
Or as my daughter said ,'Mum, just take a chair and a book up there'
To be continued.

Bonjour Elisabeth,
Je pense que c'est une très bonne idée de transformer votre cabanon en un endroit où vous aimerez vous retrouver seule à faire ce que vous aimez.
Good for you! Having a space of your own is so important. Enjoy
Oh how exciting! I can't wait to see what you do.
What a great idea you had of turning your outbuilding into a pleasant useful little get-away for yourself. I look forward to seeing its transformation.
That is lovely - a place of rest and re-creation. I look forward to seeing how it turns out
What a lovely idea. I often wish I had a sheshed outside for my sewing and reading. However it is much too cold here in the winter so I will be satisfied with my room in the house.
God bless.
What a lovely little mini retreat you are creating. It will be good for you to have this space away from the house, but near enough for any needs. I look forward to seeing how you transform it.
Oh my, I am excited about this little venture of yours. It will be such a lovely retreat without having to travel more than a few steps to get away. I so look forward to seeing the end result of all your hard work. xo
How lovely. To lose oneself in colour, crafts, or words is so refreshing.
Sorry I came up as anon. Its Lynn C !
What a lovely space you are creating. It will be nice to see it ready.
Have a nice day /Marika
I am really glad that you are getting a little help with your husband's care and that you will have a little time for yourself. The revamped shed will be a lovely space for you to use as you wish.
Love it! I've always wanted a separate space to create in and yours will be beautify when it's done. Glad you are getting some help with your husband!
that's a lovely idea I hope it doesn't take long to get the shed how you would like it - make sure you have safe electric/circuit breaker out there though.
Oh what a splendid idea! Good luck with the progress!!!
Love Carolien
I once had a potting shed; now it houses hens and pigeons. Here in the states some call it a "She Shed." You will enjoy your little space. How fortunate you are to have care givers come in to give you a rest. It's wonderful to be able to keep loved ones at home and not send them away.
Oh how lovely having this space will be. Looking forward to seeing your shed redone!!
