It's A blog party!!
"Share your creative space" hosted by Karen Valentine from "My Desert Cottage"
Let's get this party started ...

Welcome to my favorite corner of the studio.
I have this area set up on our sun porch ... it over looks the garden, play yard, and pool area ... perfect for watching the Gypsy Prince playing outside in the yard and me creating all at the same time.

Oh yeah right ... that's in my "make-believe-dream" world!!
The little guy is usually playing trucks or coloring right under my feet or at my elbows, begging for a snack!


The porch is surrounded by windows ... tons of natural light ... but, no heat or air conditioning.
{when it gets too cold I'll move to another room in the house,
basement, attic,dining room ... I've used them all}

I usually open both doors on either end of the porch to let the breeze blow through ...

Every now and then the chipmunks will get lost in a game of chase and come flying through one end to the other ... scared the "*#!%" out of me the first time it happened!!
I thought they were squirrel babies ... I have a strange squirrel phobia
{I'll save that for another post!}

I have a bird feeder hanging from a cherry tree nearby ... lots of activity and bird song.
It really is a peaceful spot {at nap time} to work in,
you get to enjoy all the seasons ...
I especially like when it is a rainy day ...
on those days I like to stretch out on one of the vintage sofas and read a favorite craft or design or home magazine.

This area I work mostly on jewelry ... lots of this and that to choose from ...
everything from rusty and tarnished to rhinestone and sparkle.

I've had these antique bottles for some time .. I've been wanted to make "something" with them ... I see all sorts of ideas on blogs and in magazines ... there just never seems to be enough time to do it all!

Drawers and drawers full of "treasures" to create with.
The greatest fun for me is hunting for unique objects to work with,
sometimes I have a hard time letting go of all the goodies!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek into my corner of creative space ...
I'm posting a day early so that I can spend tomorrow poking my nose around all of your FABULOUS work areas!!
