Where Bloggers Create II...my Craft Room!

I am so excited to be a part of... Where Bloggers Create II

Please come in and browse through my crafting space that I have just completed.
in the townhome that we just recently downsized to.  
It was a challenge, but one that I was up for...
If you follow back on my other posts you can tour all the other rooms too!

Have Fun!
    Here we go...



My baskets are filled with my fabric labeled and sorted by colors!

I didn't have room for my "Pot Rack" in this smaller kitchen so I used it in here...
...it holds the baskets that I use for my gifts and crafts!

I've gotta have my ribbons close at hand...
... all it takes is an empty cabinet and some tension rods!

Jars make for excellent storage!
You don't even have to buy them...just use up your empty mayonaise and pickle jars!
Goo-gone or Goof- off help take off the labels...after a hot water soak!

I get extra storage by using this over-the-door shoe holder!
All of my tulle is handy to grab here...

My "Dolly Dressmaker" has been my sewing assistant since I was about 7 or 8 years old.
She was a gift from my Grandpa.
She used to light up and the little pictures would shift on the fabric as she stitched away.

Turntables are always a fun way to organize your pens, pencils, cutting blades, etc.
Look for them at the Thrift Store!

And of course I had to use every spare inch of the closet too!

Well I am off to visit your "wonderful spaces" too!

  32. This is the ultimate in cool. I love everything and use many of the same storage solutions as you. However, I have never seen shoe racks with pockets that large. They are awesome and I bet they are handy for larger items. Thanks for sharing your well organized and beautifully appointed studio. It was really fun to meet you.

  33. If I had known you lived in Portland, I would have been over for coffee and I would have been using your creative space. Love your blog, you are on my favorite list!.Portland was awesome....then drove 4 hours south to Bend where my sister lives. Our first trip to Oregon, it was lovely. Thanks for taking a peek at my blog. Have a great day. Susan

  34. Carrie,
    What a great space. I love your vintage picnic baskets and your basket pothanger! They really lend a lot of warmth. You have everything super-organized, yet out in the open. You have just done a super job! Looks like home to me!

    If you wish, come and visit our blog. My thirty-year-old daughter and I have been making jewelry together for fifteen years. She just gave the blog to me three months ago as a gift. I was thrilled! We are loving it! We are recovering from a show and were too messy to be in the Party...
