~Where We Create~

I was glad to hear that Karen at My Desert Cottage was going to host a 2nd "Where Bloggers Create" party so I had the incentive I needed to get my former storage room in the basement turned into a studio where my daughters and I could work. The unfortunate part was it kept getting put off and I only had a little time here and there to work on it. So the last couple days I've been frantically trying to clean out and organize in time for the party. It feels good now that it's done, but I still have lots of sorting through and figuring which box or jar will hold all our supplies. These are the things you can gradually work on as long as the bones are in place.

It was a challenge to get the photos I wanted because this room is only 10'X9' and it is also the room we keep our extra refrigerator in. I played around, but could only get little areas at a time along with some close-ups of a few things. I hope you enjoy your tour and I can't wait to be able to start creating.

This is a bulletin board that I covered in burlap and used one of my stencils on. I bought these old number and letter push pins from Susie at From My Home to Yours which are perfect and she also made me this sign along with some other goodies with my purchase. It was very thoughtful of her. If you haven't checked out her Etsy shop yet, you should stop by and take a peek.

The pillow is another thing I've been playing around with my new stencils and the I love the rug I won from one of LaurieAnna's giveaways.

I had to hang my old baby crib springs inspiration board the other way to fit into this space.

Lots of jars to hold miscellaneous items along with spools of thread, twine and jute.

Here are some of the necklaces my daughter, Nichole has made. She is getting really good with her soldering kit and enjoys making them as gifts.

I hope I've inspired you to get out there and create. I know I've found so much inspiration in blogland and I want to thank all of you talented ladies for that.
