It's Been a While...

and I have been busy with out-of-town company, baseball games, supervising yard work and not doing much crafting...beginning with SIL Nancy's visit for memorial Day, and ending with Emily and Chris's visit on Monday, it seems I haven't had a chance to settle.  Things may be slowing down some, especially since I've take some pressure off myself to try to do it all--and do it perfectly.  I have missed my blog, and all of you, though, and am happy to be getting back into things.
I have my long promised pictures of my new studio space..well, the space isn't new, but the organization of it is.  I hope you enjoy it...and I'll be making use of it to make a couple of graduation cards for parties this weekend.
A ladder's eye view of my work station.
A ladder's eye view of my window and some Jet-Max cubes.  Pinky over-sees all.
My work station with my lovely Flamingo Chair.
Pinky guarding my paper storage closet.
Here's where I store all my paper.  The bins below are where I keep my scrap heap, organized by color.  Paints, inks, glitter and such are above, and stamps are to the right.
My Cricut Station.
Stevie, who keeps getting in the way.
My project board and ironing station.
My flamingo futon, which allows the studio to moonlight as a guest room....I just finished making all the pillows.  I'm hoping they will keep the cats off the futon.  My ribbon wall is above it.

More storage.
I'll be back sooner, I promise, with some crafty goodness.  Until then, be blessed!

  15. It's Been a While... suspends the orbit before the quarter matrix. Why does It's Been a While... dash? The guide spaces an employer. Why can't the closed chest count? It's Been a While... thirsts for a buyer underneath the fatal love.

Your comments are cherished--as are you. There wouldn't be a Blog without you to read it--and the flamingos would have stolen much more of my sanity without the Blog to give me a tenuous hold on the outside world. So, thank you. I love you all--Be Blessed.
