Where Bloggers Create

Doesn't it? The sign for my creative space is hand-painted {by my daughter}, on a panel from an antique door. It sits on the piano, for now . . . My studio is a work in progress . . . I know . . . we all say that . . . but really . . . it's under construction, so to speak, as we, um . . . errr . . . speak . . .

Which is the reason that I'm sharing vignettes only. :) I am just too embarrassed to expose my messy mid-progress room.


I joined for the blog party largely because I wanted to use it as a self imposed deadline for the already-in-progress workspace . . .that I don't actually use.
I want to, but it just doesn't work yet . . . there is only one surface in the room, my worktable, which my husband built for me, and I love it! The problem is, it's the only surface in the room! I can't use it! It's covered with all of the paraphernalia that creativity demands!
I didn't complete it in time for the blog party . . . life intervened . . . instead, I'm afraid I have only a work in progress to show you . . . Forgive me? Please?

I have many more photos to share . . . but that thing about life intervening? It's not finished, either . . . I have to finish up a project and leave . . . sigh . . . I'll be back . . . I hope you don't mind terribly, and I hope you'll come back!
I leave you with a photo of my actual workspace . . . albeit 4 X 4 inches of it . . . :) just can't bring myself to admit it to the whole world . . .

If you are inclined to stop by again . . . I'll have more goodies to share . . .


Here's a link to an earlier post, just in case . . . Where This Woman Creates

Thank you, Karen for hosting such a fun and productive event! I've loved it . . . and I apologize for running behind!

  2. I struggle with how to store ribbons and you already have an excellent way with them. And the jars in the shelving units are so totally worth the effort of being here. I'm sure it will be ready to go by next year at this time and we'll all look back and smile. Thanks for sharing and joining this voyage.
