Where I Create!

Come on in, the sign says the blog room is OPEN!

  I have been looking forward to this party since I found out about it a couple of weeks ago.  From some of the comments on posts and sneak peaks I knew all my favorite bloggers are going to be giving us a tour of where they do all of their creating.  I have a feeling it is going to be like my favorite White Wednesday except even better!  Please join me at one of the largest blog parties of them all, Where Blogger's Create II with Karen Valentine at My Desert Cottage. 

Put your party had on ladies and gentlemen I think this party is going to last for days!

Now let me tell you a little about Where I Create.  My space is small, only 9x1, although those who have gotten to know me know I can pack A LOT in a small space.

Besides having quite a bit of furniture in the room, I am blessed with three large windows that let lots of natural light, fresh breezes, and plenty of beautiful views of my gardens.

  This is some of what inspires me when I blog.

My gardens are the other space where I CREATE, but that is a whole other post. 

 Now back to "Mom's Blog Room" as my family lovingly refer to the room.

This room was once my youngest son's bedroom, who has since gone upstairs to share a room with his older brother.  I have now claimed it as my office and I put some of my special touches on it.  I am still not quite done, I want to put some finishing touches on it, but for now I am happy.

My office is one of the rooms that I have a balance of both black and white,

 with a splash of pink as an accent color. 

I love having fresh roses from the gardens for my desk.

Mirror, mirror on the wall.  I tend to collect mirrors.

  I love all the light they bounce around a room.

This cabinet holds all my paper products and any extras that just don't fit anywhere else.

Of course no room would be complete without a chair. 

As much as I like the Zebra print I think the chair is due for a change.

 Mmmmm perhaps some burlap!

On my desk is one of my signature Rose Pens. 

 I have been buying some new roses to make for my kids teachers as end of the year gifts.

The love seat is the second slipcover I ever made and I am in LOVE.

  My kids like to come and sit and watch me blog, especially if I am mentioning them in the blog.

I love having columns to bring the eye upward in a room, and of course my plants.

One of my creations lately have been moss monograms.

They are a bit messy but fun to make.

  

Another creative moment I had was to make chalkboards out of silver platters.

They are magnetic too, very fun!

I use this memo board for posting some of my inspirations.

Button, button I got the buttons!

I have lots of buttons as you can see, the theme being white, of course.

I like to glue buttons to whatever I think will work, frames, candles, mirrors. 

My favorite ones to make are the button candles, I used to sell out of them in my shop.

If you know me or have read some of my posts then you are probably wondering, where I do all my painting?  It is pretty obvious that one of my painting projects is not going to fit in my office.

 Well most of my painting is done right in the kitchen, but if I am spray painting I take care of that in the driveway. 

All of my sewing projects are relegated to the basement where I have more room. 

One of these days I will have it tidy enough to take pictures to show you.

 Now we have to leave, the office is closed. 

 Thank you so much for visiting Where I Create. 

Make a day of the party and visit all the Where Bloggers Create II,  I know you won't be disappointed, I certainly wasn't. 

 Have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day.
