where this blogger creates

We live in a small cottage where every room serves multiple purposes and I create in many places.

I write my blog posts at the dining room table, always the same spot -

 on the window seat with my sweet companion.

 A lot of creativity happens in a corner of the garage,

but I struggled to find even one little shelf in the garage that wasn't filled with wedding decor.

 Just one more week and that creative space will be back to normal.

An armoire in the bedroom has recently become my sewing area - I am still bringing supplies in from the garage.

And yes, I sew on a 50 year old sewing machine that I absolutely love!

Lately, my favorite place to create is my little garden house.

In December, Steve asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I wanted a house.

Our dear friend Manny built me a tiny garden house with windows for the side walls.

A neighbor gave us a beautiful beveled glass door for the entrance.

And soon I had a lovely blank canvas to decorate just as I wished.

Originally, we just installed shelves for storage,

but when my daughter gave me back a long narrow table, I knew it would fit perfectly in the house.

Now I have a place to doodle - something which I need to do more often.

The shelves are filled with tchotchkes

for creating vignettes,

books for inspiration

and a few supplies.

There are even a few mice hanging around.

It may be a little space,

but there is plenty of room for creativity.

And, just looking at my little garden house inspires me.
