Where Bloggers Create on a Pink Saturday

Karen Valentine of My Desert Cottage is hosting Where Bloggers Create.

Just as long as I am surrounded by all of my favorite things, I feel very inspired.






One of my new favorite ways to keep projects bits together is with these lovely boxes.

You can find them in  JoAnn's Fabrics stores, Home Goods and I have even seen them in Michael's.

 Just a pretty way to hide clutter and organize my projects.

Whether I am creating something to share on my blog,



You might recognize my artwork in Artful Blogging magazine sitting on top of my art table, thanks to Miss Bev from How Sweet The Sound.  She is hosting Pink Saturday today, so stop by and see all the Pink posts this weekend.

Designing fabrics

and writing about them, I love to share my creations.

There is always time to create things with Vintage finds,

which gives me lots of ideas to write about and share.

Being in my art room,

always gives me ideas for something to share on my blog.

And then I take a break with my camera,

and memorize some eye candy for the next post.

A room of my own

Have I ever told you that when I was a little girl I adored Deanna Durbin movies.

And my favorite thing to do was visit my Grandmother and rummage through the drawers of her old secretary to find her old photos.

It had once belonged to my Great Aunt Adelaide and now it lives in my art room....and the drawers are still filled with old photos. Only now the doors have curtains of black and white toile.

Another favorite cupboard is filled with Vintage things.

I love to sit in this place and bask in my artful clutter.

It gives me ideas...

and reminds me of projects that I find inspiring.



Memories, and childish things

and new supplies to get lost in and dream about.



I recently tried to get rid of as much clutter as I could,



and then I decided that I just needed to be surrounded by my favorite things.



And sitting in my art room.



when the house is quiet is my favorite time of all.

 Deanna Durbin still brings a smile to my face, and so does sitting in a room of my own with Grandma's secretary and having a room of my own.

Why it almost makes me want to whistle.




Here is the link to the movie where Deanna sings this song.
