Welcome to the Where Bloggers Create Party. Check out many, many other great craft rooms- just click the button on the sidebar and enjoy.
Welcome to my Craft Room. Come on in! I am a scrapper, sewer, and doll maker. Above is my scrapping and all purpose desk. Bought at a thrift store of course!
I have to share my space with the guest bed. You can see my sewing corner. The quilt on the bed was made by my Great grandma and was the inspiration for the colors in the room. I had to add some red and a dash of pink.
I love vintage, so most of the accessories are thrifted, or from garage sales. The sewing table was from the thrift store-as well as the chair.
Here are my personalized little dolls. I've been selling these locally and am working on a web site as we speak. Welcome to my Small U world.
I keep my scrapbook supplies in the bottom of this cabinet. My vintage stuff is on the top-Oz books, Childs Garden of Verses and my Mom's Singer Feather Weight that I learned to sew on.
Close up of my desk. I love having my pens and scissors out where I can just grab them when I need them, my paper is above on the shelf.
I have a small walk in closet where I hide lots of goodies. I keep my paints in an old soda crate, my fat quarters in an old enamel dish pan.
In my desk drawer-my scrapping embellishments.
The whole other side of the closet is my wool. Shown here is my recycled wool clothing-some that I've dyed for rug hooking and other crafts. I also have my felted sweaters and other craft stuff in bins.
Here is my little cozy corner where I can sit and do hand work or look through my craft and decorating books. It's right next to the big window, so I get good light. I slip covered the chair-thrifted of course.
My craft room is my favorite room in my house. I love working,playing and creating in here.It's
full of memories, vintage treasures and things that I love.I hope you enjoyed your tour. Please come back again, I loved having you.

ReplyDeleteHi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI love that slipcover! I really would like to try my hand at one though. I have a few good books on them. And I, too, collect the wool skirts and sweaters to recycle..great way you have stored them. I love thrift stores..that's how my "Pink Wall" was put together..just stuff I had accumulated over the years.
It's such a pleasure to be back for the party again this year and visiting all of the wonderful creative souls and their creative space. Thank you for sharing yours with me.
Your creative space is warm and joyful and I know you have many hours of bliss in there!
Thank you for visiting with me and strolling through my studio..it's been a labor of love to put together and now after a year in our home I feel like I can "spread my wings" and fly!
Have a wonderful day,
Stephanie ♥

ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us your special space!
~ginger
So many great ideas to take away from this visit to your creative space. I love the ideas of using cups as holders. The little dollhouse caught my attention with it's red trim. Too cute. Good luck on your pegdoll venture. They are as cute as can be. Thank you so much for sharing! Elizabeth

I so enjoyed peeking at your blog and your crafting space...everything is so beautiful and so organized! I, too, love collecting treasures at the thrift shops, though my husband and sons don't always agree on what constitutes a treasure. Your little dolls are simply adorable. I would like to sign up as a follower and come by to visit again. Thank you for the tour...
ReplyDeleteLynette
What a great idea to put your pens in mugs I have mine in all different things But I love how nice yours look , neat. Thank you for sharing your space with me and I will come back to look at more. Hugs ~Wendy at Blissangels
ReplyDeleteI love how you have added so many personal touches to your cozy studio. I store my craft paint the same way. It's so much easier to see what you have. I like how you keep your fabric, and I see you have little samples of what felt is in the clear containers. Lovely and creative storage. Thanks for sharing your space.
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie:
ReplyDeleteI love how organized your things are! Everything seems to be visible and accessible. I still have to work on that in my studio. I have too many photo boxes and storage containers that hide my things. Heck, I purchase 6 beautiful berry bowls last year, put them somewhere in the studio and I STILL can't find them! lol Thanks for stopping in to visit Brynwood and leaving a comment. I hope you'll come back. I'll sure be back to visit here! Happy Sunday. xoxo Donna
Such a warm palce! And great lighting with that window (the chair looks very inviting)!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by your wonderful creative space and you have given me so many great ideas. I love the scissors hanging. I need to do this with mine and the same cups holding essentials, I love that look. You are such a talented lady and it shows in your studio. Beautiful covered and comfy chair perfect for sewing and reading.
You are blessed and I can see why this is your favorite spot in your home. Fantastic.
Thank you for stopping by and your kind words. I so enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again.
Happy Creating!
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Very pretty and functional space. I know I'd much rather share my space with the guest bed than the laundry room and utilities. Oh well...some day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheery creative space. Love your mom's sewing machine that you learned to sew on... what a priceless treasure!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by and saying hi.
Blessings,
Sheila
Love your room so bright and cheery! You have some great storage ideas too!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great creative space and I love all of the vintage touches. I think it's wonderful to have a quilt that your great-grandmother made...what an heirloom!
ReplyDeleteI also have my mom's feather weight sewing machine displayed in my studio and it is the one I learned to sew on too. It doesn't work well now but I love having it in my space.
You are one organized crafter!
Jane
What an enchanting space - you have done such a beautiful job with repurposing things and making everything light and airy and comfortable. I can see why you enjoy being in there - and your grandmother's quilt is the perfect heirloom addition. I love, love your white cups all in a row with your pens, etc. topped off by your colorful decorative scissors. Thanks for sharing and also for visiting my space.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Tricia
You have such a pretty, sun-filled space. I love your little dolls and the beautiful quilt on the bed. Your chair looks very comfy. And I love, love the featherweight!

ReplyDeleteHi Leslie!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for commiserating with me over my award dilemma! whisper whisper and thank you so much for being one of two, that did what the award asked you to do. I know I'm a silly twit, but some people didn't even acknowledge the award on their blogs and that really hurt, a lot. And blogging is supposed to be fun right, not painful. So, no more. Hurray to that! ;)
Hope you're unwinding and relaxing from all of your company!
Sally
Your creative haven is like a page from a little storybook cottage! Your dolls are so sweet. I love the idea of the wool snips on cards to identify what is in each bin. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your space, it's so cozy & comfy! Great idea using all the vintage pieces.
ReplyDeleteWonderful space..how special you have your GGM blanket..lovely! I love all the white cups and supplies..awesome treasures and set up..beautiful! Wonderful tour!

ReplyDeleteI love that you love all the things I love too. I love to sew and learned on my Moms Featherweight and still use it along with my other machine, I really learned on a Singer childs machine when I was about 8 0r 9 and made doll clothes, then onto the Featherweight i my 20's and I love to scrap! Your use of the cups and how you hung up your scissors is really clever! Love the use of a crate for your paints. You are just Fab!! The doll looks to me as if she is from the 50', just darling! Enjoyed your space and thanks for sharing! XOXO

Ya know, I love seeing how each person organizes their tools and supplies, so many wonderful ideas that inspire. Your room is just right, and I too like having all my things right at hand, nothing is more frustrating then a misplaced item that you need NOW. Thank you for sharing your room and I hope you will come visit me, too, at Big Horn Mountain Creations

Oh...your space is so bright and cheerful. I share a room with the guest bed too. It's not so bad because we seldom get company!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your creative space with us. Have a thoughtful Thursday. ~Natalie
I really like the way you have little bits of the fabrics inside your storage boxes on the outside so you can see at a glance what's inside. Great idea! Thanks so much for inviting us to visit.
ReplyDeleteI am also a scrapbooker/papercrafter for 10 yrs, but new (2 wks!)to the crafting blog world. I am loving it! Thanks so much for sharing your space. Looking at others craft spaces is a passion of mine. Thanks~ Sherry w/Scrapping With Sherry
