I have been working hard in my Craft/ Sewing Room to get it all straightened out and cleaned so I could photograph it for this weekend's parties especially the annual Where Bloggers Create Party hosted by Karen over at My Desert Cottage.
I did a much more detailed tour of my Craft Room last year. If you are interested, please click HERE.
First , I would like to show you what I create in this room...
These are the Victorian Style Crafts that I sell at 2 local Craft Fairs a year.
Working full time, 2 Craft Fairs is all I can handle.....
I used to sell on Ebay but that can be very time consuming....
Maybe some day, I will go back to selling on Ebay...
A Christmas Tussie Mussie...
And this year, since I started decorating my department at work, I have sold over 60 wreaths since Easter to co -workers!!!This is a wreath that I just made for my neighbor...
This is the wreath that started it all....
A beach wreath.....
I am now known as the Wreath Lady!This is something that Joe made to store all my undecorated wreaths.
I have it in our Guest Room since i do not have space for it in the Craft Room.....
He mounted a PVC pipe to a board after seeing the metal stand that A.C. Moore uses for the wreaths before they are decorated for sale....And I always say he isn't handy....
And now,won't you please come on in to my Craft/Sewing Room?
This was my oldest son's bedroom and it is a small room, 10' x 10'.Yes, that is a tree you are seeing and No , these pics were not taken at Christmas time.
I keep a tree up in this room year long and it is now decorated for Summer.
More in the Tree later in this post......
I do have lots of my "pretties" displayed in this room.....
They help me to feel creative.....
When you enter the room, immediately to the left is the closet where I have all of my " normal" clothes. Joe has the large closet in our bedroom because his Postal uniforms and Hockey jerseys need a closet of their own. All of my Scrub uniforms for work are in a smaller closet in our bedroom.I bought the border in this room on Ebay and then matched the wall color to the border.
The Tile also came from Ebay....
It is too hard to get an air conditioner in the small window of the room unless Joe gets out on the roof and I pop the window out from inside.....so that is my fan that you see...
This tub is full of things waiting to be worked on.....
Most of my supplies are in these See Through Containers....
This is my "Mother" display....
These are pictures of all the women in my family and in Joe's family....
My parents, Joe's Parents and Joe's Paternal grandparents wedding pictures.....
My maternal and paternal grandparents and Joe's maternal grandparents.....
Laces, trims, glitter, venice lace, ribbon, etc.....
The shelves on the wall on each side of the window once housed my son's electronic equipment....
Paints, Buttons, Beads, Wood, etc.....
The drawers on wheels are for all of my ribbon flowers....
This shelf was a flea market find ....
Glues, electric scissors, price tags and more ribbon flowers....
The right side of the room....
I ripped the electrical wires out of this flea market chandy and decorated it up a bit....
My craft desk is an old computer desk and this is where is keep my lap top....
This is an old church chair that once sat on an altar that Joe bought for 5.00 and I dabbled a bit with....
I have sheet plastic on the desk top to protect it from glue....
You may remember in a previous post that I bought 2 old Sewing machine drawers at an Antique store.Here is one after I refinished it (will show you more of it on a future post)
Ribbon, more beads, fringe, cameos, etc....
My little 9 inch TV and my DVD/CD player that I watch when crafting.......
More drawers on wheels filled with ribbon flowers......
And now on to some pretties.....
The long shelf close to the ceiling was once filled with my son's DVD collection.....
And now I will tell you about my Summer Tree.....She is decorated with pink silk rose lights and lots of Butterflies.....
Tea cups, real and ornaments...... And birds.....
Ice cream cones and cup cakes and pink and white silk roses......
Love the glow of a tree at night....
Who said Trees are only for Christmas???????
I have trees up and decorated in my home for every holiday.....
If you would like to see more details on my Summer Tree, please click HEREMoving around the room....
Pink depression glass and Thomas Kinkaide Pink Ladies....
Joe's Paternal Grandmother's Antique Singer Sewing Machine.....And I do have sewing supplies in the drawers.....
That is Joe's Christening gown. Both my son's also wore this Christening Gown.....
The Lamp came from a Thrift Store....
An old Home Interiors Picture....
I did embellish the shade....
A vintage child's Sewing machine that was a Flea Market find.....
Vintage jewelry....
Vintage Sewing items....
The tissue box cover is one of the Victorian style crafts .....
Bears and Dolls.....
The vintage pink hamper houses most of my fabric...
The last side of the room.....
Some of my teapot collection....
More pretties on these shelves where my son used to have all of his books....
See the reflection of the Tree in the mirror.....
My Sewing machine is on top of a vanity table that my Dad built for my Mom....
I just painted this drawer green just the other day.....
And we are almost back to the doorway....
A vintage Sewing chest that I re- did.....
The lamp was my Mom's and I embellished the shade....
Decorating and Craft books on the shelves of this book case and in the basket....
And the sun is setting....
I hope you enjoyed the Tour....
Now for more room to work, I do sometimes set up one of my 2' x 4' folding tables that I use for my Craft Fairs.And we do have a Storage Shed that we rent and I also have 9 tubs items to be embellished, 6 tubs of flowers and 2 more tubs of fabric stored there.
I guess I could use a large Craft Room but this one suits me just fine.....
Thanks for stopping in for the Tour of my Craft Room!
Joe has gone back to work and it has been a bit tough on him,walking all day. Thank God the temp.s are only in the 80's for this week......
I am linking up to these great parties.......

Debbie,
What a beautiful room! The border and color make it so bright and happy that I can see why you love being in there. You and i are so much alike, we love our eye candy..and it certainly abounds in your room. It is so warm, and YOU!
Hugs and love,
Lorena
Wow, what an awesome craft's room!! *dreaming* Greetings from Australia♥ ~Pernilla
It's always fun to see where the magic happens. What a lovely craft room/studio. Trees are definitely not only for Christmas. Happy decorating, sweet friend!
It's so much fun to go to another place. To see the storage, the beauty of it all. It's a great space. hugs, Cindy
OMGOSH, Debbie- What a wonderful room full of surprises at every turn! You certainly have a lot of great things in a 10x10 room. Your creations are just beautiful! I didn't realize that you did 2 shows a year. xo Diana
I love your craft room, Debbie! Just beautiful. I have two empty bedrooms now, too, so maybe I should give this a try. I do not have your ability to make things so gorgeous, though. I love your summer tree, too!
Debbie,
Your entire home is beautiful, but I honestly think my favorite room is your craft room. I simply love those two colors of pink and green together. I also think some of your best "pretties" are in that room. Its hard to believe its just 10x10....you have managed to get so many beautiful things in such a small space. I always read your entire post, then I go back and enlarge the pictures to see all the details. You are such an inspiration and have totally changed my life. Thank you so much!
Hugs,
Lynn
Okay, I just want to know one thing......can I come and play in your craft room? LOL
How fun to have your own room to be creative in and you certainly are creative! Beautiful items you made in your darling craft room.
Nancy
Debbie, what a fantastic studio room! You are perfectly organized, and everything looks so pretty and inviting. It is one of my dreams to have my own bright, cheery, roomy studio space.
Blessings for all of your creations,
Marianne
Hi Debbie,
What a inviting creative space. So warm and lovely with your pretties. I love all that you design and congrats on selling so many fabulous wreaths. I just adore your border paper and how pretty it looks with your wall color. It would be so much fun to work in a room surrounded with so much inspiration to view. And, you are so organized in a pretty way. I am such a fan of organization and you have so many great ideas.
Loved the tour of your great space, oh and the tree is awesome filled with seasonal decor as the year goes along. I love it at night too.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
What a great room - fabulous color choices, and all of the details make it so special. I could spend hours in there, just looking! That tree is wonderful.... And you're right - there's nothing like the glow of a tree at night! I found you at WBC & am so happy to be following you, now. Hopefully you can visit sometime - http://stringtownhome.blogspot.com.
Have a great weekend..

Debbie,
Thank you for sharing your colourful studio!
Wow! I could sit in your studio for a week and never see everything. I don't like empty space or walls so your room is right up my alley. :) Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Tammy
your room is gorgeous, debbie! i have twinkle lights in my room, but, i never thought to keep the tree up all year--too awesome!
WHat a pretty and feminine room Debbie. I love the Mother display with all the pictures. You have some beautiful things in your creative space.I'm sure you love crafting in there!
I was working on going through the tours alphabetically. I was only on the B's so thought I'd check yours out. What a great space for creating. So serene, I can see you working on your creations with romantic music playing and enjoying a cup of hot tea. Great space, good job.
Ginger
Awesome creative Space ♥

A delightful creative space! A smile is always present when visiting you here.
Looks like you are set. How nice to have a space to keep all those supplies for your craft projects.
Wow...so much to see....beautiful!
What a fabulous room my friend. What I wouldn't give to get in there and roam around for several days. Do I get an invite? YUMMMMMEEEE!
I can see all the things you love and it leaves me totally inspired.
BEAUTIFUL TREASURES!
xoRebecca
Beautiful workspace! Thank you for sharing.
Alexandra
Great space, Debbie! I see we have a lot in common in our creative spaces. Most especially having the pretties out on display and I love when something is functional and pretty. I also love the clear storage containers. I need to be able to see what I've got or I forget, then buy more! Oh, and I love pink, too. It's an accent color in my room, but it works for me. Thanks so much for sharing your tour!
What a well organized and delightful space you've made to inspire your creativity.

Oh Debbie, I loved seeing you room, my room is about the same size, but you have filled it with tons of inspirational goodies, and as a loyal follower I can attest to the fact that ....Yes, you leave your tree up year round and this was not taken at Christmas...OMG wait until they see your Christmas posts!
Carol
Debbie it's a Victorian paradise in there!!! I bet you feel so happy when you spend time in there!! I don't see anything wrong with keeping a tree up all year long! I'm always a little sad when I take down my tree after Christmas!! Thank you so much for sharing all those wonderful photos!!!
Have fun at the party!!!!
Hay Debbie,
Your space is like a Christmas dream...
full of love and beautiful presents..
I love your decorations and creativity!

Your room looks amazing and so full of inspiration! How nice it must be to have a special place just for creating! I really like your vintage sewing machine drawers and the vintage sheet music inside!
Blessings,
Janet
First of all, I can't imagine how long it took you to get this post ready....and I love your tree...that is so sweet....boy, I bet you do play in that room...lots of good stuff!!

hi nice post thanks for sharing...just found your blog thrue others blog comments looking for to visit more...blessings
I think this might be My first glimpse of your craft room.It's just as pretty as the rest of your home.So much fun could be had in there.Love it!
What a great craft room full of so many pretty things!
Hi Debbie,
Your room is Pretty,Pink and Perfectly decorated.
My craft supplies are packed away according to type in my back room and bedroom wardrobe.
If I'm knitting out comes the wool and away goes whatever I was working on. I like to create in a state of 'mild' chaos...in a little 'nest' of bits. A small space means creative, out of sight storage.
Have a good week
Barb from Australia
Thanks for sharing this beautiful creative craft room on Simple & Sweet Fridays. It must be so much fun! Great job!
Jody

I love the Christmas in July! The thought of Christmas always make me happy. I'm stopping by from a blog hop and am a new follower, I would love if you came to say hi and followed me back at www.iheartpears.blogspot.com
Your craft room makes it obvious you love crafting! LOL! And I love that you're now known as the "wreath lady." Must make you feel good knowing so many people appreciate your lovely handiwork. And can I just add that I LOVE tussie-mussies? Do you make a lot of these around Christmas time?
Amazing amount of "product" and fun stuff! TFS~
Debbie, your craft room is just wonderful! What a cheerful place to create in! Love the pink and green! Hugs, Penny

Wow Debbie, I love your craft room. You've managed to put so many things in such a small space! I love the tree and the flowers around the ceiling light. I too have a small craft room about the same size but it is not nearly as lovely. I would love for you to share this at my new party "Totally Transformed Tuesday" @ http://pjhdesignsoneofakind.blogspot.com

Wow Debbie! What a lot of eye candy! You may think your room is small, but you make use of every inch of it! Love that church altar chair; and the way you've coordinated EVERYTHING in your space. I also love the idea of having your tree up all year, and changing up the ornaments for each season... so beautiful!
Debbie, I love your creations. The detail is amazing. Also, adore all the wedding photos! Just perfect!! Thank you for sharing this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see you again tomorrow. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Debbie, your studio is filled with so much beautiful eye-candy. Always a treat! I love your pretty summer Christmas tree....just beautiful!!
As I was sitting here looking and reading through your creative space post, my daughter sat down next to me and and she let out a big "Ohhh thats beautiful" and she especially fell in love with your tree : ) (She is 18, and she has autism and is more like a sweet 5 year old and loves anything pink,
x-mas trees and dolls)... Its a love space and she and I will have to come back and look again. Lots of treasures to look at and we had a great fun time doing this together... You sure got the thumbs up from her and all I got so far has been a "ugh" LOL...
Thank you for the lovely tour!!!
Mari
Very soft and pretty room - thanks for sharing with us!
Stacey of Embracing Change
Hi Debbie!
I am always amazed at how much you are able to share each week... Thanks for being a regular part of my Bunny Hop!
I love the green and pink in your room. I noticed that green lamp right away!!! I must say that you are extremely well organized... or did you have to do a bit of 'fluffing' for this post?
xoxo Bunny Jean
Hello Debbie, Your craft room is the prettiest! I love all the colors and the accessories! It is quintessentially you! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
