Karen at My Desert Cottage is having a party today. In the vein of the "Where Women Create" magazine, she has invited bloggers to show off just where "the magic happens".
I'm glad to show off my special little spot.
The Studio once was, and still is to a degree, our guest bedroom. But still, I have made it a space that is near and dear to my heart. So come on, I'll give ya a quick tour. I'm glad its clean today.
Mr. Bunny Head watches over all things being created.
Stamps, markers and ribbon close at hand.
Looking up as I work provides great inspiration.
My little work desk. And look, when clean, there is actually more than 2" of workspace there. And I need to skirt that table in the worse way.
The clock wears Mickey Ears!
The inspiration board filled up fast. And if extra light is needed on a cloudy day, I just plug in the Chandi.
Collecting vintage ink bottles has become a new passion.
And it is still really the guest bedroom.
Bins hold paint and supplies. And yet, another inspiration board to the right of it.
Jar of Stickles. I do love "sparkly".
The room may appear to be clean, but in reality, its really just organized chaos.
But regardless, there is no place like home, except maybe "the Studio".
Thanks for taking a peep at The Yapping Cat Studio. And thanks to Karen for hosting such a fab party!

PS - For those that are interested, Tina and I have just updated the Paper Cowgirl blog with the Fall information. Thanks.
Great space! I love the shelving with the bins! Of course the kitty makes the room :)

Great and inspiring work space. I had to laugh about the two feet of work space. I know the feeling. On my 8 foot table my work space ends up being about i foot square!!!

I am a little late to the party, but better late than never. My daughter, the fashionista, will soon be leaving the nest for her new apartment. I will have the luxury of decorating her old room (specifically the closet) as my creative space. I cannot wait and will incorporate many of the wonderful ideas you have shared here. Thank you.
Posted by: Laura Ingalls Gunn | July 28, 2009 at 10:07 AM
Thank you for letting me peek into your creative world. I adore your bins- they are wonderful! So fun, thanks for sharing.
