Where This Blogger Creates A Mess


I'm not a 'neat and tidy' type a gal. 
Usually on the way to 'neat and tidy' I get distracted by something sparkly.
Or tarnished, rusty, or chipped!

Plus my "create" areas, and craft storage areas, are all over the house.
At any rate, this is as good as I got it for the Where Bloggers Create III Party.


This is my sewing room, located on the second floor of our home.



I recently swapped the location of the day bed and sewing table.  This arrangement really opened up the room, making it feel much larger.
 

 It might not look like it but this room has really been cleaned up, it's just not looking all cute with fun and interesting craft storage and displays.


Being a commitment phob, I can't commit to where I want to attach this shelf to the wall.  So here it sits.

I got this rolling self rack at a garage sale for $15.  One of those deals where you can't pay fast enough and get it in your car before they change their minds.





I finished and posted about these lockers in time for my 1 year Blogiversary, see more where I posted about them here.


They are in the open family room area, just outside the sewing room.





This is the closet in my husband's study where I keep my scrap booking supplies.
 

Notice I didn't say where I do my scrap booking.  That's because lately it's only been where I store the paper supplies I like to buy.



I added boards to the depth of one shelf, to make it into a desk. 


 It took me a while to find this old step stool chair combo so I could either sit at the desk in the closet or reach the top shelves.




Then there is my desk in the laundry room/pantry where I do my jewelry making. 

 
I recently reorganized this area and posted about it here, if you'd like to see more.




Depending on what I'm doing I might be running between all 3 of these areas, dragging supplies out to the 4' by 10' kitchen island to work on whatever.


So, that's Where this Blogger's Creates!  Even if all she's creating is a mess!

Thank you Karen of My Desert Cottage, for hosting this shindig!  And thank you for taking the time to visit my mess over here.  Have fun checking out all the creative spaces, I know I will.

  5. I decided to pop down to the bottom of the list 'cause it is taking forever to work my way down and everyone at the end of the alpha worked hard on their posts too! You have a great space with tons of storage. I especially love the lockers. Thanks for sharing and hope you can stop by mine too.

  7. Hi Susanna, I see we are together at the end with "Z" I think it will be awhile to get thru the entire list A~Z, I went thru B & decided to reverse and go backwards for a while.... I Love your Studio Photos, I certainly would have paid & ran for that rolling shelf, never want them to change their mind, also your work table (counter) is Fabulous, what a work table & storage too.... Hope you get a chance to stop on by~

  10. It looks to me like you have carved out perfect spots for yourself and I love that you have made room for a sofa in the sewing room. That looks like such a cozy spot to relax!

  18. Wow, you have a lot of spaces! I like that scrapbooking closet. I also love that you have a sofa in your sewing room! I love to sit with my legs stretched out when I'm, for example, embroidering! I hope you'll be able to come and visit my space, too!

  19. Thanks for sharing all your creative spaces. You're more organized than I am, that's for sure. It's no wonder you produce such pretty jewelry, what a nice work surface!! I LOVE that rolling rack!!

  20. OMG Suzanne!!! I'm freaking out because in one of your pictures, the one with the wall shelf, you have a white wicker purse sitting on top of it. I HAVE THAT SAME PURSE!!!!! Does it have a red lining inside?? That is just too awesome!! We have SO much in common!! Do you think we were separated at birth ~ LOL????

    Love all your nooks and crannys filled with your supplies. I did this event year before last but with the recent moves, I won't even know where to begin. Right now I am attempting to unbox/organize/ the guest bedroom/studio. Which I should be doing right now, instead of on Blogger ~ HAHAHAHA!

    Toodles~

  23. I really LOVE those lockers! They came out very nice.

    Doesn't your husband know that sometimes you have to go where you are creative and that isn't always in your studio? Mine doesn't get it. I just try to keep my messes to a minimum. (note: I said TRY)

    SMiles,
    Teresa

  24. Starting at the back just like I read magazines. I like how you have taken over several spaces. Creativity is limitless-our space should be too! Absolutely love the beaded bag! Really gorgeous jewelry pieces- xo on the vintage.

  25. Well, if everyone is as slow as I am, I was thinking the people at the end wouldn't have many comments, so I got halfway though the A's and decided to startat the bottom, but I see a ot of people had the same idea. Be that as it may, I think you are so organized for all the different things you craft. I kind of craft all over my house too! Thank you for sharing. Love, Linda

  32. Susanne, I am so jealous of your mess and would love to have a studio separate from the remainder of my house. I must clean my dinning room after each project. Thanks for admiring my "itty bitty shabby people". Be sure to check back for the post on my "itty bitty" dogs. I am following you and will certainly add you to my list. Hope you do the same.

Love all the counter space you have and how each craft is kept separate from one another...how fortunate to have all that space! (Well, I have space too...just there's is other "stuff" that needs to find *new* spaces:-) Thank you for the inspiration!
