My Little Studio Nook

After a long weekend of organizing

I'm pleased to present you all with my new Little Nook Studio

Every little square inch was accounted for...

and still there is soooo much still waiting in the basement

just hopping it will make it upstairs and not into the goodwill pile.

Everywhere you look inspiration is to be found

Little mementos of special events and friends

Treasures of all sorts all in their very own spot.

Speaking of treasures...

check out my ultimate junk drawer.

Filled to the brim with crafting notions and vintage nic naks

and oh goodness

I can't find a single thing I'm looking for!

I even have my own teeny tiny window

if only it wasn't frosted I might be able to see out.

But it lets in beautiful defused light

when the sun is to be found in Portland that is.

IKEA is so wonderful.

I purchased this large storage cabinet and the pine table for less than $200

The Cabinet was 40% off for no good reason - except that it was pre-assembled

Lucky ME! But not lucky hubby!

It was very very heavy and awkward to get up the steep narrow stairs. 

Then I used my 50% Michael's coupon to buy the doll house.

Some pink pain and a little scrap-booking paper and it was finished 

So cute!

Plus it will make a great display piece for craft shows. Double Sweet!

The only sad thing about my new studio

 is that I have no where to display my Toy collection

And so for the moment it will all have to live in the basement :(

But at-least I found room for my children's book collection!

Here's a little sneak peak of a project I'm working on

11 gingerbread houses... one for every season and holiday 

You didn't all think I would leave you wondering about my new hair cut?

No body in my life has seemed to notice!

I lost a couple of inches and now have Audrey Hupburn bangs!

And finally I got Charlie to take a picture with me. 

He wasn't very happy about it!

Hugs~ I wish you all a happy and inspiration filled week!
