Studio Tour

Today you are the lucky recipient of a tour of my art studio. 

I cleaned it last week so it is a good time to take pictures and share.

 My sewing machine was a Christmas gift from my mom after I wore her 1970's model Singer into its grave. I have been putting it to good use- and it doesn't make me swear nearly as often as the Singer did.

 I just received this spool holder last weekend. It belonged to my grandma Glo. I needed one badly, and it is very special to me to have her's.

I turned this painting into a pin board- it isn't a stretched canvas it's some sort of compressed board so it works well. I hung my display of spice tin magnets to get it out of my way- plus it's cute.

 I covered some formula and oatmeal canisters with paper to store ribbons and scraps of this and that that were spilling out all over the place. Yay for some small semblance of organization.

I mean to cover this cardboard cup box I saved too but for now while it is ugly it works great as a file holder. These books are spending their last days together before they get the ax. Actually some of them already passed and are just covers sitting there waiting for me to think of something to do with them. (in case you are just tuning in- I cut up book pages for crafts)

Ok, you got me- there's no studio, it's a 5 foot nook in my living room. 

What is strange is that I use this tiny space so much more than when I had a whole room at my disposal. Oh well, you work with what you have, right?! And yes, this is what it looks like when it's clean, you don't want to see the before pictures. 

Have a lovely weekend!
