Where Bloggers Create III

I love my art room.

Sometimes I call it my studio to sound professional, it's actually our dining room.

I needed an art room much more than a formal dining room. 

A place I can go to forget the stress of the day & get lost in a whole other world.

 Sometimes I dream of having a 'real studio'.
A big room, separate from the rest of the house.
But for now my room is perfect.

 It's in the center of the house, close to the kitchen & living room.

 I can play with my toys while the kids play with theirs.

With 3 little ones, I get my art fix when I can.
But my favorite, most creative time of day is early morning before anyone is awake.
 My head is clear & the house is silent.

 I can, & do whittle away hours looking thru my drawers,

boxes ,

& suitcases

 searching for the perfect element to complete a project.

There are some pieces that are just to precious to me,

I don't think I could ever use them.

I just like to take them out & stare.

Shelves filled with gifts from sweet friends,

things I've made,

and many,

 many,

collections.

Thank you Karen for once again organizing this awesome party. Every year I look forward to poking around your studios.
So I'm off to snoop!
  Thanks for stopping by.
