Where Bloggers Create Party

I am so excited to be a part of this years Where Bloggers Create party.

My blog is a very humble blog with a big heart.  For the last 2 years I have eagerly awaited this party.

I love looking at creative spaces.  I have every issue of Where Women Create and re-read them

often.  When Karen first started this party I was thrilled.

I'm so glad you stopped by to visit.  There are more pictures on

my flickr.   Have a great day and enjoy everyones pictures.

Cloth Paper Scissors Virtual Studio Tour

http://www.clothpaperscissors.com/blogs/in_the_studio_with_cate/archive/2010/10/12/tour-these-beautiful-studios.aspx  Hello to my peepers.  I'm participating in the Cloth Paper Scissors virtual tour. 

If you are half as addicted to looking at studios as I am, go over there and take a peek.
This 1st pic is the front of my studio.  I have a note on the door that says, think before you bug me.

It doesn't work.  LOL!

The 2nd pic is of my desk.  This desk is an antique from 1912.  My husband gave it to me.  I love it, it is 3'X5'.  Lots of room to spread out on but I always end up working on that little mat on the desk.

Next pic is of my tool supply caddy.  I got this bad boy at a thrift shop in Oakhurst,Ca for $10.00.  It was a steal.   Love it!

The antique ceiling tin piece was a 3 panel screen that I took apart.  I have the other 2 panels in my bedroom.  I need to figure out something to do with it.
These pics are not posting how I want them to.  My husband got the mini card catalog at a yard sale.

I almost sold it at my yard sale.  So glad I didn't.  It is great for storage. 
The big white cabinet came from my church.  It has huge flat drawers that are great

for big watercolor pads.  Stamp pads,canvas and all kinds of goodies.

I have one more in a storage shed but no room for it.
Here are some more random pics of my studio.  Thank you for visiting me. 

Go and enjoy the tour.

Studio musings and Blogging reattempt

Well here I am trying to start blogging again.
Has everyone been oogling the "Where Bloggers Create" posts?
The 2nd annual event was last Saturday and I have been sitting
transfixed at my computer. I get inspired then run out to my
studio and change something. Go back look somemore then
run out and change something again.
I have my studio looking pretty good. But it's not done.
"IT WILL NEVER BE DONE"!
I don't want it to be done. I so love changing things around.
I love to reorganize. I want to take some new pictures and post
them but hubby has commandeered the camera.
I really am going to try to keep up the blogging thing this time.
I even went and got Tara Frey's book Blogging for Bliss.

I have other news. My beloved step son who is in the Navy is in town.
I havn't seen him since last October. I will get to see him sometime
this week. He is the best kid and I love him sooo much.
I have known him since he was 7 yrs old. He is 25 now.
I will write more about him later.
I hope you all have a blessed evening.
