A Room of My Own

On January 4, I removed almost everything from the guest room.

Today, 10 days later, the room is no longer a guest room, but a "Creative Space" for me.

The bookcases have been filled

with books, magazines,

and various supplies

 in labeled baskets and boxes to make things easy to find.

Finally, there is a place to display my creations

and this darling little bunting I just received from Vicky of Life on Willie Mae Lane.

A wire shelf and containers holding books and papers fill up one corner of the room.

I planned to get rid of the dresser because it needs updating, but the drawers are handy for storing paper, stamps, tools, etc.

I also like that the top of the dresser provides space for more storage.

The sewing machine base came from the living room and we used the old dining room tabletop to create a sewing station.

Wire storage pieces hang on the wall and a shelf between the windows holds portions of my hand collections and a few supplies.

A 3' x 4' trestle table we bought from neighbors provides a work station and my IKEA rolling cart allows me to keep the surface free of tools.

The table is large enough that I set out 4 different projects to work on today -  I actually completed 2 of them.

Virginia Wolff said, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."

I won't be writing fiction, but I will be creating - every day.
