Visit Karen at My Desert Cottage to see many other creative spaces.
I shared my space last year and had big plans for changes to it for this year but have accomplished only a few of those ideas.
So here we go up the stairs.
So here we go up the stairs.
Enter the door on the left at the top of the stairs
I am starting my tour looking left as you enter the door, a change in direction from last years tour, just mixing things up a little.
I had these wire shelf pieces downstairs in our sons old room taking up space. One day while blog hopping I cam across and Idea for putting these shelves together with plastic zip ties, so that is what I did. It stays together great and I can see my fabric, or most of it anyway. It fits nicely under the slanted ceiling.
This chest of drawers was on the painting list but is still waiting. A creamy white would be nice.
I have a few white buttons.
My grandfather built this green drop-leaf table for my grandmother not long after they were married.
My new tea towel valance with birds perched on top.
A place to sit and ponder, what shall I create next?
Everyone needs books and patterns for inspiration.
Bird thimbles, a gift from a dear friend.
The curtain helps to hide a little necessary clutter
Wooden spools on a little wooden shelf made for my grandmother by my grandfather.
My 12 of Hearts quilt blocks
We have reached the other side of the room where a tiny closet hides a little more necessary clutter.
I keep thinking about really "decorating" my space but I have been too busy creating to get it done,
maybe next year.
We hope you enjoyed your tour of my creative space.
You have a wonderful space! I loved seeing all your little happy collections. WE have that in common!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

I love your space! I love the little crocheted tea cup. So cute! Thank you for passing on the idea to tie the wire cubes together. I may use that idea in my classroom.

Love your studio! I especially like the rug in front of your chair, your crocheted pin cushions, and the rose covered boxes on top of the bookcase! Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog and leaving a comment :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a great creative space to do all your crafts! Lovely way to display your collection of great baskets. Thank you for your visit and your prayers. I do the same. :) Devon

ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteI love how you've used those beautiful baskets and I immediately noticed the hooked rug by your chair. I do know what you mean about getting around to re-decorating your space. I painted all of my shelving pink and now I want it ALL white...I must be out of my mind considering all that will have to be moved. {giggle} I enjoyed the tour of your studio so much.
Pink Sparkles for your week,

Oh that tea towel valance is gorgeous! Your space is so cozy and inviting, love it all!
