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.

Update On Shadow

Good evening.  I just wanted to post an update on Shadow.  She seems to be doing better and
eating. She is moving around the house ok and comes out  as usual anytime I'm eating anything.
I think I panicked and presumed that it was time.  I do know that I need to prepare myself for the
inevitable.  Yesterday I had to give her some hairball medicine and it went very badly.  I ended up
getting bitten and stressing her out.  Today she is calm and ok.

Shadow

Hello, I want everyone to meet my little girl kitty Shadow.  Please keep her in your prayers.
{and me too)!  Shadow has been with me for aprox 16 years and is now starting to show her
age.  I have had to make the tough decision to have her put down.  Tears are streaming down my
face as I write this.  I haven't taken her yet, but the time is coming quickly.  Our fur babies are so
important to us.  I know alot of you have had to go through this heart wrenching experience.
Shadow has not been featured in many pictures here like Samantha has because the minute Shadow
sees the camera she runs from the room.  Please just keep us in your prayers.  Thank you!!!

A Great Give Away!

Autumn Is Calling

Autumn is slowly trying to get a grip here, but Summer is not giving up without a fight.
Today was a rainy day.  Cloudy and cool, then the sun popped out and broke the spell.
I spent the day tucked in my studio. Then came out to do some apple picking and take a few
pictures. 

This is what I made.
Autumn is the time of year we start to nestle in for the winter.  The days start getting cooler and shorter.
It's time to start getting cozy.  I'm going to try my hand at making a apple pie with those apples I picked.
I will show you the results good or bad.  Wish me luck.
I hope Autumn is finding its way to you where ever you are.
