Where Bloggers Create 2012

Where Bloggers Create by Karen Valentine
Thanks once again Karen for the invite

I am here to show you my messy Studio and New Sewing Room

I don't get to use them as often as I would like 

Due to medical issues the last two years.

But when I do this is where I am 

My friends come to use it lots too.

Which is so nice for me ..

Cause I get to visit them often

Here we go ->>>>

Here's my spot

If I am crafting or visiting

I love it here.. nice comfy old chair

Re-done with a new computer chair base

And lovely fabrics.

My ribbon storage works wonderful this way

My punches all visible and easy to find

I know, I know it is growing outside the room

Oh No!!

So much stuff, made by Me, 

Friends and Swap partners

And more storage and gifts

My storage wall... houses fabric and craft supplies

And yes I know where everything is

It is all organized... well kinda...

(blushing laugh)

Have to have a TV to watch Craft Wars!!

See my lace storage this works well also

And more storage along with my 

Sturdy stepping stool

(hint: the chair)

Organized magazines, ribbons and laces

( yes I love trims..ALOT!!)

This soon will have a table attached

To hold MY new Cricut so I can use it more often

Yes I broke down and purchased 

Another Cricut.. couldn't live with out one.

Here is where I sit and talk to you all.

Sorry for all the mess and dust

its been a ruff year...

Ok lets see some of the details

The Fluer De Lis

Will be a new icon in this room

Hopefully which will be all decorated by

Next years preview

( I am the one that buys them out at

Hobby Lobby..hehehe!)

A girls gotta have bling ,right!!!

I started working with metals some

at The Little Blue House

My organized spot..

My friends have made me 

Some very pretty

Things to hold my stuff

I love each one so much..

(I mean the friends and the lil pretties)

My teachers chair has new life 

Thanks to the broken computer chair

I took the good parts from each and

 Made an awesome very workable chair..

I did it with a normal oak chair who's

Legs were broken off

They now go up and down and have 

A bit of  suspension.. 

So much more comfy too

I designed these little trash keepers 

To match my room

I love this lots.

And it matches

( I am so bad I know it)

Look how I store all the new readers I now need

That's new since last year also... 

Glasses!!!

And my stylish magnetic boards.

I so love the lace look

Holds my fun magnets as I make them

PSS!!! I need your help

I need an idea to make something with 

That ladies High Heel sitting there

Can you help me out??

My lace and trims storage has been working very good

I can see it and use it so much better now..

Got to have my grandies near by.

Don't ya love my new hat stand too

She glows in the dark like a night light

My boys truely love barking at her

Ok Lets take a look at my sewing room

She is just beginning to take shape

I love my cotton fabrics all sorted.. 

I use it way more now

Soon I hope above this shelf

 Will be a design board

And that old yucky mirror you see

Well, she will be all re-done and looking pretty too

And more useful than she is now

A couple more hat stands...hahaha!

And the starts of my new grand-daughters

 Halloween costume

She is due next month.

I think she will be a princess..

I did get my sewing machine cover a makeover 

Earlier this year

Isn't she pretty now?

I am glad I finally found a space to hang these Lil Lovlies

I made these way back when my girl was little

Over 20 years ago...UGH! I am old

While stationed in Germany

They had a kit of the month for us military ladies.

These are highlighted with hand embroidery

And used to hang in my daughters room

I still love the memories they bring my heart

A beautiful refashion/recycle project

(Sorry for the bad picture)

Lovely gifts from lovely friends

And so my style too

More gifts from friends

This is also my antique room

Has the treadle machine I learnt to sew in there

All covered up right now thou.

My goal now is this:

To find a spot for all this to fit

So I can have my living room back.

It has been here for over 4 months at least now

I refused to stuff it into the closets

I might just need to donate some of it

I am standing strong for now

And really quite used to it being there..

(OMG!)

Whew!!

Well there you have it

Please keep a prayer that I soon

Can use these spaces as I would like to

And create some lovely things to share with you

Thanks for visiting

The door is always open

And you are welcome back anytime.

Hugs
