yummy fabrics waiting to be turned into something cute for the sew your own wardrobe for a year challenge
homespuns for my raggedies, Belindy was made by a sweet friend
yes you saw a tree & no it’s not Christmas lol I belong to a craft forum ( Prim Mart) & this is 5 years worth of Christmas ornie swaps & this isn't all, I’m missing a box lol!I like them out because they make me smile

I seen on Pinterst a tutorial ,how to tint jars, I loved the results, the 2 aprons on the left I found at antique malls, the one on the right was originally a curtain panel & I turned it into an apron
Clarice is one happy gal in her new gown, I’m glad I painted the shutter green, the white just wasn’t happening for the gown
just enough room for a sweet space between the two closets
my teapot collection
a few ornies I’m working on for this years Christmas show
it’s hard to get an all overview of the room so after the sun went down a little I went back in & stood inside the closet to get a better shot

You have a lovely friendly workable space.very nice.
Your dolls are wonderful! I used to have a Raggedy Ann doll when I was little... thanks for sharing your craft space! :-)
Such an interesting tour of your studio! I love Raggedys Too! I think you'd enjoy my blog too! Similar interests!
Your sewing room is very unique. Just the place to inspire you to create.
LOVE your beautiful creative space!! First of all, I collect dolls of all kinds. I also make them, and I rescue them when I see the need to! ...such as garage/rummage sales packing up, and the owner says I'll take any offer.. It's all just going in the garbage anyway".... Oh no.. No dollies get thrown out if I can help it! (0; I have a small collection of Raggedy Ann dolls, and not too long ago, just got my FIRST Raggedy Andy!!! I was VERY excited about that! But now I see your Belindy doll, and I'd love to have one like her too! I'll have to watch for a pattern for her.. or for where I can buy one AT A REASONABLE PRICE. (I couldn't believe my eyes at what prices were being asked for, for the vintage ones sold on ebay!!)... Oh, but anyways... Loved your teapot collection. I have a small collection of those too! In fact the top middle rose tea pot looks much like one I have too!... Love your tree too!! I think it's WONDERFUL that you keep it up all year! Why NOT?! It's beautiful!!... Thanks for sharing your creative space! I really enjoyed my visit here!! ~tina
What a warm and inviting sewing room. I love your quilts and love love love your way of storing your cutting mat. I believe that is better than just keeping mine out like I do. I love the colors of your space and your dolls are so sweet! Thank you so much for sharing your space.... Take care!

Thank you for the lovely tour! You had me laughing out loud at the hubby/jigsaw puzzle story... omg I wonder what the heck the comments must have been when they were putting it together! Hilarious!
I love all the Raggedy Ann and Andys. I had them when I was very small - oh how I wish I still had them!
Love your dress forms and teapot collections too - so many lovely things to see! Thank you!
You have a pretty creative space and I love the dolls you created and the organization of your studio.
Thank you so much for visiting my own creative space and for your kind comments.

I adore those little dress forms on your header and I understand just what you mean about being a place where sometimes you just daydream. Thank you for the tour!
What a wonderful sewing room!!! And you are adventurous - sew your own clothing for a year?!?! WOW! I am impressed! Of course looking at all your other creations, it would seem you are more than qualified for this!!!! Your room is welcoming and we really appreciate you letting us take a peek. Better watch that little Raggedy Ann ornie with the polka dot dress....Romeo is a bit too interested in that one ;)
"her" and Romeo
Fabulous room. I love all your bits,especially the teapot collection. I have a collection back in NZ, packed with all our other things that didnt come to Australia with us and haven't made it into a suitcase every time we go back :-) My sister took the teapot that was my Mums that was used daily, that I planted up and had on my doorstep and she is looking after it for me. Thanks for coming by, this is fun. I am going to do it next year too.
What a pretty sewing room with all the Raggedy Anns and Andy's to keep you company. I love your teapot collection. Thanks for visiting me!
I love your pretty space. The colors are very inspiring. I had to laugh because it is first thing in the morning and I am drinking my coffee while looking at your space. Thanks for visiting mine!
Love the feeling of homey comfort you've created. Thanks for visiting!
I haven't seen a yard stick for many, many years. Brings back memories of my mother sewing. I love your collection of Raggedy Ann dolls. Your sewing space looks so interesting. I know I'd enjoy spending time in there.
I love the Raggetys and the colorful dress forms on candlesticks you do. Thanks for the tour!
What a lovely space to create in! I'm loving your dolls, coat hangers, and amazing creativity! Thanks for visiting my blog, and I'm going to be keeping up with your postings!
hugs from California!
