Don't ya just git giddy when something you've wished for, waited on, dreamed of, but mostly
WORKED HARD FOR, !!!finally!!! happens?
For most of my "creative life" which now spans decades, my creative space and supplies were scattered throughout our home in closets, bins, tucked under beds, and so forth. The dining room often became command central. And upon walking by such headquarters one would immediately receive the distinct impression that command central had been heavily bombed! Chaos reigned supreme.....
But when I read that Karen, at My Desert Cottage was hosting her second annual WHERE BLOGGERS CREATE PARTY I knew this was the motivational spark I needed to get busy.
I inherited the bonus room above our garage several years ago, but as life goes, for a number of out-of-my-control-bumpy-mountains-in-the-road-of-life reasons, the room never got put together.
Until now....still have a little ways to go, but the hardest parts are behind me. NOTHIN' like company coming to set a body in motion, is there?!
I worked like a mad woman. Or perhaps madder than normal would be more appropriate...what is normal anyway, does anybody know? Stay on task Sue...
Jewels got sorted...
...dolls got hats...
...and with each little accomplishment I could feel the cobwebs that had taken my creative spirit hostage begin to release their sticky grip...speak nothing of the physical cobwebs in the actual room...
My rusty imagination began to awaken...it was all I could do not to stop what I was doing to follow the latest inspirational muse...but untrue to my given nature, I kept plowing through box after box, bin after bin, sorting, tossing, organizing...
Why, even fresh flowers were lovingly gathered from my garden and scattered throughout the room...they are such happy little creatures, aren't they? Not to mention that nothing, save a warm hug, says welcome friends more than fresh flowers.
Despite the fact that I am beyond blessed to have such a wonderful place to now work on a variety of creative pursuits, one major flaw in this room is the lighting. Although there are five windows, each is housed in an alcove which can be a real issue...especially at night. One thing I have invested in to counteract this challenge are Ott lamps. JoAnn's, Michael's, Wal-Mart, among others carry this brand and routinely put them on sale at 40% off.
The majority of my furnishings are hand-me-downs that were used previously in our homes through the years. Several pieces came from thrift stores and one piece was stolen. Yep. You heard it right. Theft. That would be the bin housing my stash of vintage wallpaper. It's original purpose was to house goober pairs of golf and other sporting shoes in our garage. The idea being that my family members would dutifully and joyfully place their shoes in the tidy little cubbies......NOT.
A year or so ago this vintage dress form came up for auction on Ebay. It is about three times the size of my other dress form I'll show in the next photo. She has been the perfect 3-D inspirational board, if you will, and I continue to pin new items to her daily. And BTW, I was the only bidder and shipping cost me more than the dress form. Felt badly for the seller, but happy for me!
I've taken way too many pictures of my newly organized space...excitement about my new room and working with crummy lighting conditions most likely influenced my excessive photo snapping...
Here's an oversized spice rack I picked up at Goodwill for maybe $5 or so. I love making, giving, and receiving mail {handwritten letters....ahhhhhh....love 'em}. I used to be so much better at sending these personal greetings. Hence, I am hoping that having this little rack hanging on my studio wall will be a visual reminder to improve upon sending more snail mail to brighten someone's day.
Not withstanding the fact that I've rambled long enough, Typepad or my computer has chosen this point in time to go into total rebellion. Consequently, on both accounts, I'll bid my farewell and continue this tour in another post {or two+!} in the coming days.
Thank you for your visit and I'm anxious to head out to see all the other creative work spaces. But before I go, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Karen for what has had to be a monumental undertaking to keep an event of this size so well organized.
Warm wishes to all,
xo, Sue
O My Gosh! What a beautiful place! Thanks so much for sharing!

Sue, I knew from the first moment I met you on Pink Saturday that you were talented, but I think this is one of my favorite ever creative spaces I've ever seen. You have a treasure trove of fascinating things there! OH, I love this! I mean I everything... the furnishings, that sign about perfectionism, the creative supplies, the color of the room, everything!
Love that doll's head with its funnel hat! And would you believe I have one of those printer's chests??? I use mine as part of the living room side table beside the sofa. On top of it is a metal chest that used to house car parts! And I love your mannequin. Mine isn't that cute. I guess you were doing a happy dance over it because it is just the bee's knees.
I'm so glad you shared this. I really, REALLY love it!
XO,
Sheila :-)

You may have worked your heart out, but the results are stunning! What a gorgeous space you've created!!! I could spend hours and hours in this space . . . . **sigh** BTW - I couldn't live without my OTT lights - LOVE them. My worktable is in the center of my tiny studio and away from the windows; I couldn't work without them. Thanks soooo much for the tour! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Posted by: Terri@PringleHill | Saturday, June 19, 2010 at 09:31 AM

Hi Sue
How wonderful did that turn out??? Aren't you just sitting in there looking around and just dreaming? It is a fabulous studio and what a great stash of treasures you have. I was thinking I had too much but now that I have seen yours I don't feel that so much :)
Many Blessings

Oh Sue - I am so happy that you have the room of your dreams! I think it will become one of my dreams to make a room just like it! No wonder you make such beautiful things! This room is so inspirational! What are all your little letters in the box made of and, more importantly, where do you find such treasures!
Thanks for your sweet comment about my little Lainey! Her mom's family is all here so this grandma hasn't been able to hold her much but come Monday, she's all mine!
Enjoy that gorgeous room and I look forward to studying the pictures in detail later!
Posted by: Connie | Saturday, June 19, 2010 at 11:51 PM
Be still my beating heart!!! Your new room is fabulous! I love it all and would love to have a dress form of my own but they are just so darn expensive. Great job pulling everything together for the party! thanks for the sweet comments you left on my blog, Marcia
Posted by: marcia | Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 01:29 AM
Hi Sue,
Thanks for your visit and kind comments. These events introduce us to blogs that we might never have found on our own. Love yours! WOW! You have great stuff, and it's so beautifully organized. I can't visit a new blog and read only one post. When I saw your sign PERFECTIONISM KILLS, I doubled over laughing. I need to write that on the palm of my hand, so it's always in view.
Enjoyed my visit.

Oh my goodness Sue, Your room is amazing. I could get lost in there and spend many wonderful hours creating with you. I love you dress form- I have one and she is named Josephine. I also purchased her from ebay and paid a huge shipping fee. I love that you shared it all with us. I am going to try and incorporate some of your ideas.
You asked what paint color I used in the room- it is my fave color- behr paint flat based called Cup of Cocoa.
thanks for sharing and stopping by my little place.. tammy
Posted by: tammy | Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 11:23 AM
Wow, I am beyond impressed - what a space and what a witty way you have with words! But you are a southern girl and so am I and we sort of talk like that :-). I have the same story you have about moving from here to there and the diningroom table chaos - isn't it so much better having all your things in eyesight and sorted. It took me 30 years to finally get my own space, I know! Love the blue on the walls, it is similar to mine - your space looks so cozy and welcoming - great idea on the spice rack. I see those all the time and never thought of that - that is one of the best things about this party is all the great exchange of ideas - I don't live far from you at all! Love your space! :-)
Posted by: CatNap Cottage | Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 11:48 AM
Just look at this exquisite space that came from your eye for all things beautiful - and from all of your hard work.
Of course, you know that I've always loved you, but everyone will love the queen of all of this wonder. And, that queen, my friend, is you.
Won't you be my neighbor? ;-)♥
Posted by: Beverly | Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 12:47 PM
Hi Sue
What a great time I've had wandering through your studio.
It simply oozes creative space and I'm not surprised your muse was a constant distraction as you prepared for your photo shoot!!
I lingered at your vintage wallpaper stash so beautifully housed. A weakness of mine as we can't get them in New Zealand (that I know of).
Your letter rack with the lovely cards waiting to be sent. I agree there's nothing better than finding a snail mail in the letter box!!
I'll be back! I'm just going over to follow you too.
Please come over and visit me one day, I would love that and I'll get my pretty teacups out and make you very welcome!!

Like everyone else I love the paint color. But there is so many things in this room to love. I see one of JoAnnA's angels as well. You could play I SPY in here. This room is what every crafter/artist dreams of. Congratulations on a beautiful space, you did one heck of a job. I wish you could come help me with mine.

Sue, I came back by to ogle your FABULOUS space. And now that I'm here and am floored over that first shot, let me ask you... I'm wondering about your blue color. Is that custom or Benjamin Moore? I've been looking and looking for the 'perfect' shade of blue for a bedroom. I have kind of narrowed it down to two... Palladian Blue and another whose name I can't remember but was recommended by Mario Buatta in an article. But yours looks deliciously blue with a hint of green. It also looks good with all the colors I love. Would you mind sharing your color with me? Who knows if it would work in this crazy Florida light that changes from location to location, but you never know.
Now, I'm going back to my ogling...
XO,
Sheila :-)

Dolls,wallpaper and buttons, Oh my! Wowzers, what an amazing space! I spy a bluebird that might fit in an apron pocket and you can bet the cute game cards behind your doll head would come up missing! Tee Hee! Hugs, ~Robin~
Posted by: Robin Clevenger | Monday, June 21, 2010 at 07:41 PM
I don't know if I will make it around to all of the blogs in the party, but I am sure happy that I didn't miss yours! It is just amazing and full of goodies galore. Thanks so much for sharing!
Posted by: Bella Dreams | Monday, June 21, 2010 at 11:12 PM
Sue,
Oh girl, it's wonderful, all of it. Just want to come over with my green market bag & play trick or treat! All the little bits & bobs you collect are just right up my alley. And wallpaper, where do people find rolls of wallpaper like that?!! Awesome. You are very lucky to finally get your dream room. I believe we women work too hard for our families & need a little place all of our own to create in. It renews me everyday. Makes me a happier Mom. I hope I dont' have to wait till they all grow up & move to inherit a little more space. Lisa

hi sue
i loved reading your bi. I think your analogy about writing a book and now you are working on the next chapter, but sprinkled with lots of humor is wonderful. Thanks for also sharing your words of wisdom on humility. You have morphed your studio space into and enviable sanctuary for any crafter. I love all of your new organizing techniques--they are functional and asthetic. Anyway, thank you for the lovely visit and nice to meet you!

P.P.S. I have been looking over these yummy photos again and again today, taking in all the delicious details! And I just noticed all that fabulous vintage wallpaper! Where, oh where, do you find it?? I can never find any, except online where it's so expensive!
Posted by: Michelle | Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 07:36 PM

I wanted to let you know how touched I was to read your post. I am trying to help my mom organize her creative mess right now and it is stressful at times, but also rewarding. This was such a boost of encouragement for me to go on, follow through, make it happen. Thank you tremendously for sharing with us. And no, it wasn't too much at all! I'd love to see more and more! My own studio is now the color of yours and I am still doing the final tweaks on it before my "reveal". Wish me luck with both!!

I can't believe you put this space together so quickly! I had to go back and reread that part! Amazing ~ I love it and all the room you have. I love how you decorated it and set it all up. I could shop your space for my own creative outlets! It's really beautiful, and you should be proud and pleased at this wonderful space you've created.

OH MY!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for stopping by to see me & my studio. And the sweet comments you left. I am so glad I came to visit because I LOVE your studio!!!! HOW LUCKY you have all that room. I love all the jewelry you showed stored in those little drawes. And I see you have a vintage typewriter too(mine is not in the studio though). I want to come back. In fact your studio made me decide to keep a "FAVORITES" List of the studio's I LOVED most. I am having some real challenges with health issues with my hubby right now so I just don't have the time for blog hopping I would hoped to have done. HUGS! Charlene
Posted by: Charlene | Saturday, July 03, 2010 at 08:21 PM
Lovely. All your displays are beautiful and I love the way the blue wall color takes on so many different shades in the light, especially in that last picture. Fantastic!
Posted by: Lynnaep | Wednesday, July 07, 2010 at 02:48 AM
You have a fantastic room. I would never have guessed light would be an issue since it looks so nice and light. I'm seeing lots of eye candy I would like to play with too. Thanks for the tour! Connie
Posted by: Connie | Thursday, July 08, 2010 at 10:37 PM
Your space is truly magical...I can't even decide what part I like most. I'll just have to bookmark you as a favorite blog so I can coime back again and again. You have such an amazing talent. Thank you so much for sharing.

Oh! My! Stars!
I think I've died and gone to Heaven.
I could spend weeks in there and never come out. I'd become dusty.
What a fabulous space! It's so BIG . . . Man I envy you that! How lucky!
You are just incredibly talented . . . your collections and inventory of wonderful bits and bobs are just amazing. I am so tickled I found your blog, and even at this late date, when I saw Where Bloggers Create in your archives, knew I had to peek, cause i LOVE TO SNOOP!
Truly inspirational! Amazing.
Sigh. Man I wish mine was that big . . . but I think my husband is happy it isn't. He'd never see me again if I could spread out like that. . .
thanks so much for sharing! I'm sorry I am so late in visiting, there were just so many . . . you know how that goes.
Have a wonderful day!
