Studio Shots

So, I had a few people ask for more pictures of my studio. I'll have to do that a little at a time since there is so much to see. As you can tell in this picture, I use up every single bit of space and there still never seems to be enough. This area is for mosaic pieces and the skinny white piece on the left holds jars of buttons. More on the button fetish later!

 

This area is where I sew. I don't always have a rack of clothing sitting there! On the left is where lots of my sewing stuff is. I love the canvas drawers for all my lace. My sewing table is actually the counters that we removed from our bathroom years ago. And the piece that holds the white baskets is a "side of the road" find. It's just a hutch that sits on top. The houses on the shelf above are wooden magazine holders from Michael's that I painted. I have little white and pink lights all over the ceiling. I also have chandeliers hanging all around. They don't work, but they look cool and inspiring. And the best thing - I can hang things from them! I told you, I use ALL of the space in my studio.

So, that's a few more sections. I'll take more pictures and post them next time. Until then create when you can and sleep when you have to!

Time for a Change

Since I've started my Redeemed Rags clothing, I've discovered that I need to reach out through my blog so I'm changing the format a bit as you will see. Since pictures speak much louder than words, I'm gonna be less wordy, and more picturey. Is that a word? If not, I just made it one!
 
 So now I'm in mass production once again. September 7-8 in Germantown, Tennessee is the next big event. Well, it's actually only my third event, but none-the-less, I'm preparing. My daughter, Holly, and I had great success at the Spring craft fairs in Arlington and Collierville so we're teaming up again to do another one. I need to triple the inventory. So here goes.....

 Okay, I usually don't let anyone see my studio in this condition, but I had to prove that I was creating. What a mess! Perhaps I'll clean it up - let's say.... in October! Yeah, October! Until then, it's time to produce!
