Where Bloggers Create 2012... plus a Giveaway

Welcome to my studio!
I have been so excited to show you the changes I've made.
If you remember from previous years,
there was a big brass bed in the middle of the room.

Now, the big brass bed is downstairs and I have room for a table.

I kept the sewing counter in front of the window...
I can watch the birds in the summer and the snow in the winter!

I found the perfect place to hang my 
Mothers Day gift from my sweet daughters.

My buttons and thread have moved here for easy access.

My Mom's custom built sewing cabinets have been moved here to the studio.
I love all the new storage.
Vintage luggage and wooden crates provide even more places to tuck away supplies and projects.

My seat at my desk is the bench from mom's bedroom vanity dresser.

Wooden cigar boxes, vintage books, baskets, my grandma's hats...
all provide creative inspiration.

The fabulous little table (from Ikea) has two drop leaves to create a large work surface...
plus there are three storage drawers on each side.

I can have just one or both leaves up, depending on the size of my project.


My helper cat likes the table, too.

Thanks for visiting my studio.
Please leave a comment and I will draw a name on August 16th.
The winner will receive one of my handmade Infinity Scarves.

A special thank you to Karen, from My Desert Cottage,
