Your room looks lovely, as it always does, but I loved that you pointed out what you changed and why, and of course I love your sweet puppy who is always with you. I lost my beloved kitty this year, and it just is the same crafting without him. Thank you for putting together this party each year. I look forward to it every single time and have made so many lovely friends through it, I know it is a lot of work for you and I truly appreciate you hosting it every year.<br /><br />I want to participate, but every year for the last 4 years I have moved just a few weeks before. This year was the 4 th move and I frankly is miss only couldn't get the room set up or unpacked in time, if by some miracle I feel well enough to get it done this week, I will link up, otherwise it WILL happen next year. In the meantime, I am enjoying seeing everyone else's spaces, and getting lots of good ideas for my own from each of them.<br /><br />Hugs to you,<br />Maureen Maureen H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10534048448587357468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707230969781924931.post-41352735058679888742016-07-17T10:07:54.328-07:002016-07-17T10:07:54.328-07:00Hi Karen, Your studio is a always an inspiration. ...Hi Karen, Your studio is a always an inspiration. I love your repurposed Microwave cart. How perfect for a busy studio. Probably one of my favorite things is your bling box. Drool worthy!!!! Missed being part of this this year, but will still enjoy peeking into the work-spaces of all those who did participate, and Gaia and I will both be back if you do it again next year. The room we expect to use in the "new" (built in the 1970s) house, is huge, and we hope to make it both useful and awesome. <br />Thanks for hosting, and thanks for the lovely tour,<br />Gwen<br />Gwen Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972971600037013876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707230969781924931.post-85081624765417133022016-07-16T19:54:44.608-07:002016-07-16T19:54:44.608-07:00Thank you for hosting the tour - I know it's a...Thank you for hosting the tour - I know it's a ton of work to organize and I know everyone who is visiting around right now definitely thanks you. I loved peeking into your creative space - and was happy to see that wonderful wooden ironing board. I inherited one from my mother, who inherited it from her mother, but had to let it go when we moved into this apartment.

The glitter in vintage salt shakers was a particular aha moment. This year I had hoped to join you, but just as I was ready to photograph, chaos hit the room. I plan to take photos whenever I can this year so I can join you next year.

Be amazed what can be learned about a blogger just by reading all the comments. Is very encouraging to read comments from people who say lovely things and there were so many of them.<br />Know what you mean about the lace, I have hard time using lace have had but hard to make project if I don't let go of some of supplies, as in buttons I love, silly me. Some of it have lugged around country when we've moved, not just once. <br />Have figured out best way for me to be able to even walk in my sewing room and studio is to put most of "stuff" in storage garage then little by little bring things back. My problem is those two rooms are so tiny, storage solutions do have need to cleaned out, organized. Been wanting to do sewing but can't the way sewing room is.<br /> Your post today is very inspiring. Things have gotten away from me terribly, so need to bite bullet. You did a wonderful job on your room, send me some extra energy would you please? <br />Happy wonderful weekendsrpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707230969781924931.post-48339837872016865622016-07-15T23:14:16.894-07:002016-07-15T23:14:16.894-07:00Thank you again for hosting this blog party.
