Where Bloggers Create 2012

Welcome to my craftroom. I love vintage style and have decorated my space in bright colors of blue, red, pink and green. We downsized a year ago and I had to condense my space and I also have to share it with a guest bed.I love to scrapbook,embroider and sew using recycled wool and vintage linens. Let's check it out.I have 2 work areas-papercrafting and a sewing station. There's a Craig's List desk that I painted and an office chair that's been covered. I can reach everything from here for papercrafting.
I can grab a set of pens and put it on the desk to color or draw.I can see all my scissors at one glance.
Little embellishments are in my top drawer.
Here's some little mice I made out of recycled wool that sit on my thrifted clock.
This is my sewing station. I made the sewing machine cover out of a vintage linen.
Instead of an inspiration board, I have an Inspiration Shelf filled with little things I love.
These doll clothes were my dollies when I was a kid. I just framed them up.
More colorful inspiration.

This closet is half the size of my old one. So I've had to weed out and organize my stuff. I use alot of drawers and clear bins. On the right wall my threads and rulers and embroidery hoops are hanging.
My fat quarters all lined up and ready to use.
Ribbons, game pieces and blocks for shadow boxes.

My miniatures for small clothespin dolls that I make in an Ikea drawer.
My recycled wool stash-there's probably 15 of these bins, so I keep track of whats inside by the little color cards.
My favorite new thing. A door organizer from The Container Store. I have so much stuff in here! I love it so much, I put one in my pantry too.I keep my glitter, ribbons and paints in it.
You can see how I store my ribbons-I can pull them straight out and clip, or pull the whole ribbon spool out to measure and cut.
The little wire baskets are easy to take off and carry over to my desk.
Jars of buttons on the window sill are sorted by colors.
This is my storage cabinet. Underneath I keep more paper crafting stuff.
The Singer Featherweight was my Mom's and what I learned to sew on when I was a kid.
The painting is of me, dressed as a hobo for Halloween painted by my Grandfather.
My little corner where I can sit and do hand work or read a decorating book.
A small shelf above the window for more vintage goodies.
The Pinafore Pretties are my newest adventure. So there you have it. My space is colorful and fun and I love creating new things in here. Thank you for visiting and come back any time! I loved having you.
Have fun visiting all the beautiful craftrooms and studios and link on to Where Bloggers Create.
