Where bloggers create.

It's always the same around here...doubting, thinking and (what we call) weighing what to do and then do it in the very last minute...so here I am; with my little studio in 'where bloggers create', hosted by Karen Valentine of 'my desert cottage'.

Na lang getwijfel en geaarzel en een verkoudheid heb ik toch besloten om mee te doen aan 'where bloggers create', ik weet het nog niet zo lang geleden heb ik een studio tour gegeven, ik heb nu weliswaar een paar nieuwe foto's maar toch...vond ik het leuk om het nog eens te doen, veel plezier!

Here it is; let's open the door:


Ohhh and let's close it immediately!
Mmm, I guess I have to confess that this is how I create...in a mess...So what do I do now? Show you some details?


some pink...


a little cutie...

a little birdie...

or we could do a little time traveling, sometime in April I showed you my little studio too and then my studio was nice and clean (especially for the occasion).
Ok, open that door again:


Well that's better!
My studio is in the smallest room of our house, such a room is called a 'kabinet' and you can obviously see why, but no one hears me complaining, this is small, but cozy and in the center of activity in our house; next to the computer and television room, which we call the study.


Above my desk I have an old mail divider from the post office in Vlaardingen.


Behind my desk there is a ladder, otherwise I cannot reach the highest shelves.


Chest of drawers that a friend of mine didn't want anymore.


And a rack filled with jars of buttons, bells and other supplies.


The bigger candy jars filled with lace and knick knacks on the other side of the room.


This is inspiration to me.


I like to see my little knick knacks so I use letter trays as storage, some revamped like this one, or just as is...


as this one, don't forget to click on the photos to see more details.


I use these cardholders (50 cts at the thrift store) as keepers for all lovely cards etc. I get from you! I have about 6 in this room!


my papers and the wicker cases, all are tagged, to keep me from searching.


I keep my yarns and fabrics (and paints) in the basement. What I am using is here in the wire basket (which is filled up to a yard high presently)


I try to keep rubbish (well one girls' trash is another girls' treasure) out of side in these bags. But when I work it is still a mess. I know I have too much, but I can only create from abundance.
Have a happy day touring around and finding inspiration at other creating bloggers, have fun! Thanks for your visit over here and thanks to Karen for hosting.
