Tuesday Talk

I think I probably showed the best photo of my Studio first, and that's just not good strategy. I am just thrilled to have a space to even "dump" my craft things. Never have I ever had a space for art and glue and glitter... so much a part of my stash!

So... it is definitely a work in progress. I spend part of my time making something, part of it sorting, and part of it--- just looking at the bits and remnants accumulated through the past 12 years... and beyond. Mom had quite a bit of dreaming and "stuff" too.

I started the morning with some Mocha flavored coffee. My son asked me if I even knew what plain coffee tasted like. I think that was a little rude, don't you? I do like plain coffee... but there are so many wacky kinds to try. I have my coffee maker in the kitchen...

In one little corner you can see I am greeted by a dear little bunch of Shirley Temple dolls. Those were some of Mom's favorites so they keep me company right where she put them. 

I use this shelving space for my papercraft supplies. My favorite things to do right now include junk journals, regular scrapbook/more modern journals, and crochet. I have a lot of sewing and counted cross stitch, but those pesky criminals stole two sewing machines, ----and my fingers are a little stiff for the needle... gotta work on both problems. It is a bit of a hodge podge in this ( and every) corner...

Callie finally decided to make herself at home. It was quite a little struggle because she has been sequestered in this room during times her presence wasn't wanted (gasp!)...  Impossible! Her kittykat mind cannot fathom such a time as that. But when she saw the li'l lapghan just for her, she gave in.

I have lots of very sweet company in this room. Mama's girls are always interested in the day's labors...

More multiple choice items. Yes, that is a pumpkin stem from last year. I dearly want to make velvet or sweater pumpkins and I have messed around with that stupid stem for 10 months...  We shall see. I better make a pumpkin. That's all I am saying.

This is my special line to Santa's workshop. This particular wall had been totally covered with little girl pictures of me...  They had to go,,, too bossy and nosey and ... in my face, ya know?

My dream/plan is to have this tree filled with seasonal bits that I can use as favors, gifts, little tuck-ins for friends, shut-ins and whomever would like something.... Uh, nope. Not one thing on dat tree other than pine cones... yet. Just dreamin'

The pink-legged table was in Gramma's kitchen and then in my bedroom up north. Luckily it was something I had asked for early, so it was spared. These old floors were salvaged from other sites in 1956 when Daddy rebuilt this house... (and they look it!). They have to wait.... I had to get a floor guy to re-do the bathroom and landing that my carpenter did last summer. The tiles all broke and popped up... 

I know! Don't even get me started. Have a wonderful day! My son is working from home today, so... our cat is soooo happy.

Whimsy and Hugs!
