Where I Create

I’m joining Karen at My Desert Cottage for her second annual “Where Bloggers Create” party this Saturday.

You can see my post from last year HERE (including a pic of the room mid-chaos).  Not much has changed, besides the awesome addition of my embroidery machine and a new TV.  Since I knew I would be having guests, I cleaned up a bit, and as you can see, there’s not much “creating” going on right now!

 

I’m lucky to have a dedicated office/craft room.  Here’s the view from the door as you walk in:

I made the window topper from an old bedskirt, you can see more details HERE.

 

These built-ins are really nice.  Plenty of storage and space for decorative accessories as well.

Here’s my sewing/crafting desk.  My mother-in-law helped me make the sewing machine quilt using this tutorial from Get Your Craft On.  Here’s a tip…..the cheap vinyl placemats are great to protect your work surfaces.

Here is the sitting area of the room.  Those chairs are usually covered with whatever project I’m currently working on.

And my craft closet:

The right side stores supplies, finished projects, and projects in process. The left side stores paperwork, shipping supplies, and Etsy supplies. You can see some of my organizational tips and creations in these posts:

 

Paint Organizer

Quick & Easy Ribbon Storage

Recycled Desk Organizers

Memo Board

Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to see others’ spaces.  Here are some other fun parties I’ll be linking up to:
