Welcome to my crazy cozy creative closet! I once read that Mary Englebreit began her creative life in a closet, so I feel in quite good company. In my tiny cottage there is little space and every spot must serve sometimes a triple purpose. Things must look somewhat nice and orderly and pretty too. I sit here surrounded by everything I might need within reach. I admire those of you with wide open spaces to create, but have learned to stay well organized in my bat cave and content...but I yearn to do five projects all at once and not have to store my projects in well marked drawers. But drawers make my work portable and I can go outside with my work on a wonderful day and have everything I need in my drawer...so as Mary would say, "Where ever you are...be happy!" Supplies are kept hidden from view in pretty containers of all kind on shelves my dear husband built on one side of the wall. Miss Hunny Bunny keeps reminding me of what is inside each box since I tend to forget...she is a faithful helper and insists that white cat fur is a wonderful embellishment for my ATC's!

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your delightful creative space - you are the perfect example of "good things come in small spaces" and Mary would be very proud of you.
Have a creative day.
Blessings,
Erin
What a great creative space and so nicely organized. Mary would be very proud of you.
I'm hoping to be organized by next year - but then of course I said that last year too.
Hugs,

How have I not been to your blog before? I'm a total sketchbook/mailart/paper arts addict! Your studio is awesome - love all the colors! You've really maximized the space that you have--I'm so inspired!

Love your little closet! In our last house I sewed in a little closet, I loved it in there, so cozy, and just shut the door and no ones the wiser.

Love your cozy closet, I specially love your use of all those fun boxes.
Thanks for the tour.
Good for you ! Looks like you are well organized and a closet is better than the kithen table anyday! I spent the last 7 months scrapbooking and feeding three little ones under 8 at the same table! It was no easy task,we have moved and now I get to set up my own space! YAY! I bet you create fantastic works of art here!
You have a terrifically creative space, so cute and cozy!
Thanks for the tour, I really enjoyed it.
I love your colourful space bursting with goodies! It actually reminds me of my own studio with goodies everywhere, kept out for inspiration. I've always liked that ME started in a closet, and look how far she's come...LOL!
I'd love to trade ATCs some time...if you're interested, I can send my address in an email. Hope you're having a lovely weekend!
