Busy Organizing . . .

I've been busy lately - working on changing a guest room into a space filled with all of my "supplies".  I've been organizing all of my fabrics, craft supplies, papers, brushes, glues, paints, fabric stacks, beads, canvases, projects plans . . . you name it - so, I haven't been making anything because I'm too busy painting walls, sorting, and sifting.  I can't wait to have everything in place so I'm able go right to what I need, when I need it!  I plan on spending many a summer day in this room surrounded by orderly supplies, fresh flowers, open windows - it's going to be FABULOUS!  Here are some inspiration photos for some great creative spaces!  

I really want to make one of these dressmaker forms . . . this summer.

 Remember the ones from "My Favorite Room" in McKinney?


There are lots of instructions out there for making a dressmaker's form, but I love this article explaining the process!  I guess people have been making these from scratch for years!  Bravo, Cora!

 A place for everything and everything in its place!

 Fresh flowers from the garden - every day!

 Great tags for labeling boxes and baskets.

Something with lots of great drawers or slots for the little stuff. 

Such pretty storage jars!  I need to find some great jars from Goodwill, then print out some labels from The Graphics Fairy. 

A fun lamp or two.

 And some sparkly thumb tacks for a cork board.

A beautiful old frame for the chalkboard -

Bearing those sweet words that every child and teacher love to hear at the end of the year!

(Only 39 more school days until summer . . . but who's counting??)
