Can you believe it's that time of year again??!!!
Thank you so very much Karen of My Desert Cottage
for hosting this amazing blog party ~
I love seeing everyone's creative space and so glad we have
all weekend to tip-toe through them all!
My family has moved since the party last year
and my creative space has dramatically decreased!
So it may look a little crowded in my photos...
because it is!!
I don't mind though ~ we moved to a very old home
and it has so much charm ~
I love looking around the studio and seeing other's artwork,
treasured finds and beautiful things ~
it's all so inspiring to me!!
Old trinkets, long forgotten seem to always find a home here :)
Old lace, the rattier the better, makes me smile.
Do you think I have enough fabric? This is just the creams, naturals and browns!
This shot is pretty rough looking ~
I haven't hung the bird canvas I made or the shelves
behind the sewing machine, but I will.
And all the stuff on those small wire shelves will hurt your eyes
but I love having supplies at arm's reach.
I've even managed to cram my computer in here!
My desk ~
You have to walk through my studio
to get to the living room or our bedroom,
you know how old houses are!!
OH! And you see my advent calender hanging on the side of the shelves below?
Lisa told me that Stampington has featured it again
in the recent issue of Handcrafted ~ I had no clue!
I hope you enjoyed peeking into my studio ~
As crowded as it may be, I'm so thankful for it!!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by to see me ~
Please be sure to head back to the Where Bloggers Create 2011 Blog
to see more creative spaces!
hugs and love,
Dawn

Hi, Dawn! So many beautiful treasures and creations. I think you had those curtains in your last studio? Love them. The bird canvas is fabulous too. Your studio looks so inviting. Wish I could come over and play!
Your studio seems like a very comforting place to be, Dawn! I love that large bird print you have. I am glad to see that there is someone who has more fabric than me! : ) I love the colors you used in both your creative spaces {the old one, too}.
I love your creation space!!!
Ive been working on my new one this week.
But even when it is finished, it will still be a work in progress.
I need more stuff!! ;)
My room looks so bare!!!
I had it combined with my computer room and because of that, I thought I thought I had do much.
But now that is all alone, the poor little space looks bare.
Oh well, gives me room to buy more! Lol.
I hope to be able to show it off soon.
I would love one day for it to be as beautiful as yours, Dawn.
I doubt mine ever will be, but one can dream! Hehee.
Thanks for the inspiration,
Tam
Hello Dawn :) Wonderful place to create in! And fabulous stash of fabrics and gorgeous lace trims to create with ~ I too have some special pretties and treasures that decorate my space...gotta surround yourself with more than just the usual creating items and such. I had thought to put our computer in my room as well, but decided to have it in our Dining Room, that way I have my sewing room ALL to myself, LOL :) Thanks for sharing you wonderful space with us...lots of wonderful ideas for everyone to incorporate into their own!
Warmest hugs, Brenda
Love it just as much if not more than last year. YOU BE THE ONE girly! YOU ROCK! Love your work, your vision, your passion.
Yep...I'm hooked!
xo~Rebecca
Yes, milady, I did enjoy seeing your workspace. Even though it's smaller than your former one and even though there are many treasures, it looks beautifully organized to me. I'm going back to look through it all again.
Dawn,
Oh my goodness, I think you could make the inside of a paper bag look fabulous!!! What a stunning and cozy space, well done!
Dawn I love your studio even with it been packed in..... It feels peaceful....I could spend hours looking at it beautiful
I hope you'll pop over to see me... hugs wendy
I love your creative space, everywhere you look there are projects just waiting to be dreamed up. I too have limited space and every inch has to be used for something. And to top that off, we are moving and my space will be out of boxes for awhile. Enjoyed your pics. Terri :)
Oh Dawn, I would love to explore in your wonderful studio. It is filled with all sorts of inspiring goodies and yet appears to be an inviting and restful place to create. Off to check out more creative spaces! Take care, Laura :)
Dawn,
I so loved the tour of your studio!! So many pretty things to look at. I will have to come back and take a better look! So many inspiring ideas. I love how you have your fabric folded on shelves. Great idea!! And I think it looks lived in and well loved which I am quite sure it is!! It is a great space !!
Thanks so much for sharing it with us!!
Hugs,
Debbie
This area is gorgeous. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that bookcase full of linens. I also LOVE those burlap curtains. Gorgeous all around...
Your space is wonderful Dawn and as long as we have somewhere to create and are happy that is the best part, I just keep creating nooks and crannies as needed! Hugs Marilou
What a great little spot to draw inspiration from! I'm inspired just looking at it. Everything is so precious!
Jeanine
Oh Dawn, I would be right at home in your wonderful space, of course, I wouldn't get anything done because I would be too busy going through all your gorgeous treasures!!
Congratulations on your new home and your special place is lovely. Thanks for sharing it with me, Char
My favorite part is your cabinet filled with all those lovely cream and white fabrics, folded so neatly! I love textiles! Your arrangement of treasures is a marvel! Thank you for sharing your creative space with us - so inspiring!
Joy!
Miss Kathy
So many fabulous things to enjoy, but the little girl's shoes with the scuffed toes stole my heart! This is an amazing studio - thanks for sharing.
Stop by and see me if you get a minute.....
Susan
Just lovely and dear, Dawn. I love your space and can tell that you must love it too, by all the sweet touches all around. I love that you create precious vignettes to make it special and pretty, and so much more than just a practical, sterile workspace. Very inspiring, indeed. Hope you can come visit my space, too!
Thanks for the tour!.....maggie

Oh Dawn... This space just makes me happy. So much yumminess.... and very orderly too.... :-) I would be thrilled to be able to work in this lovely space...
Huggies,
Spencer
Hi Dawn: I love your space and how it is so full of character and creative pieces. Now I see how you channel your visions and make such amazing art pieces...You surround yourself with inspiration and love of all things dreamy. Sunshine Smiles to you...
Just beautiful - all those "low colors"- so inspiring - what a wonderful place to spend your creative time.
What a warm & cozy & totally inspirational place to create in! I love your space Dawn. Your fabric stash is amazing and that petticoat hanging from the ceiling just makes me smile!
I love the window treatment, and lucky you, with your desk right there you get to look at it all the time!
It's no wonder you create such beautiful things!
Oh sweetie,
From the first picture to the last I am ohhhing & ahhhing! It's funny, I haven't been in your studio but I feel like I have. I can see the precious baby outfit Dennis bought you, the nests the boys gathered, the little brown shoes that became pincushions, the cream parasol we've discussed... it's all so familiar. It's wonderful, every last piece of lace & every last button. Lisa
Dawn, If I could I would just dive right through the screen. I have a small space, too, but not your knack for creative display. The ROOM is a mixed media work of art!
Oh Dawn!! I love your creative space. So warm and inviting! All your linen, ;ace and trims are beautiful too! So very vintage!
Oh Dawn! Your Studio is just Lovely! A wonderful Space to Create! I Love the Little Crinoline and you Cabinet Card Display!
Have a Wonderful Evening!
Hugs
Jill

I think I could spend a day in your studio and would still haven't seen everything. You have so many gorgeous things to look at, dear Dawn. Your new studio might be smaller than the old one but it's not less beautiful.
xoxo,
Julia
Phwoar Dawn when sometimes I think that my studio is really full and stuffed now, I have to come back and look at yours filled with treasures from ground to ceiling, simply amazing!
I have to go back and look at all the beautiful details again now.
Happy WBC party wishes sends you

I love seing photos from your studio Dear Dawn. Your have so much pretty stuff and everything is so inspiring. I would love to come and create at your place. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day sweet friend
xo Tina
Oh my gosh..........your studio looks just as pretty as in your former home, if not more pretty! Love everything in it.
Enjoy
Oh I love it Dawn! I could spend DAYS in there looking at all of your goodies! What a wonderful place to create! Have a blessed day, HUGS!
Girl, I envy you so much for your own craftsroom. I live in a very small house (that I lovingly call home) and have no room for my own craftsroom.
And yours is so full of treasures. I wish I could have a look. I think it would take me hours to come out again. If I would...........
I would be the kid in the candystore.
Don't worry, I live in the Netherlands, you can breath again ;-).
I can't stop looking at the photos. Your curtains...............how did you get/make those? Super!
thanks for this post.

What a delightful, treasure-filled space! Thanks for sharing. :)
That's what I call good crowded. I love the little glimpses of "real" and not "staged" in your room. It's a work of art reflecting an artist working.
Deb
Dawn, I really enjoyed peeking into your creative space! So many lovely things there! Have a wonderful weekend! Twyla
Oh wow! Eye candy!
That's just yummy Dawn! Loved visiting your studio. So much fun for the eyes. Big hugs!
Thespa
Oh my goodness, Dawn, you've really made good use of your new space! I could spend hours in there - just looking at everything up close.
That bird print is so striking! (Love anything with birds) You must love creating in your new space.
xo
Claudia
Dawn, You have worked MIRACLES...All your treasures look so amazing ! I too have moved this year. We are now living over the SHOP , I am loving it. My workroom is now smaller and still not organized ...HELP... How did you get all your STUFF so you can find it? Maybe next year I will be ready to share mine.
Dawn, this is fabulous! Old houses are the best, even if they are a bit small. You seem to have made the best of it! I love the ideas of the wire shelves. If I can't see it, I forget I have it, so these are perfect. Thanks for inviting us in, xo
Lynn
Hi Dawn!
Okay..now I want a second studio...one for sewing!! Love your creative space!
Thanks for stopping by:)

Hi Dawn
You've created such a beautiful Studio Space ♥ Thank you for the tour.
Hi Dawn...
I forgot to tell you......I FINALLY found the directions for my little bird tute I purchased from you when I was organizing my studio for the party.... I was thrilled.... I thought it was gone forever and I've bought LOTS of that clay.... LOTS! I'm thinking they'd make adorable Christmas ornaments...
I have that same little bird nest/cloche thingy that's in your top photo too! :-)
xoxox
Spencer
Wonderful treasures! Everything is displayed so beautifully. I love all your collections, all the lace and fabric, old photos. Just stunning! All the things you make are so unique and creative.
Debbie
What a great studio you have created, a collage all of it's own. I love it all!
♥♥♥
Marcie
Wonderfully done, Dawn! Since I've followed your blog for a long time I know that you used to have the big converted garage as your studio. So to downsize your area had to be a major accomplishment...and you did it beautifully. My heart is always warmed the way you see the world through a grateful heart. That little jacket/hat/dress ensemble makes me weak in my knees! Precious. Xo, Sue
Your spot is beyond, beyond, beyond anything I could ever even dream about. It's lovely. Dreamy. Magical. Love it. *smiles* Norma
Well you knew I'd be stopping by and as always you never cease to amaze me girl. This was after a move or during a move? Lord have mercy girl, you've got more talent in your pinkie toe than I do in my whole body! I love all of it! Perfect! :)
It may be small but it's so gorgeous and lovingly arranged. My favorites were your photos with sweet family memories and the very cool hand. Thanks for a lovely visit.
What an amazing room! I think I could look and look and look for days and not get tired of seeing so many wonderful and beautiful things! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Dawn, I want to come and live in your studio!!!! It reminds me of my Grandma & Great Grandma's sewing rooms!!! What a Fabulous space you have!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Deb
Dawn, about two years ago I typed 'burnt organza flowers' into the google search engine and found your blog and I was amazed, but couldn't find the blog again, then about a month ago I re-discovered you and your blog was the inspriation for me starting my blog. You are an absolute inspiration and I admire your creativity so much. AND your space has not dissapointed, it is just how I imagined it to be. Well done!
I love the theme, the colors and the you have so much out on hand. It is a dream of mine to have my space like this. Love the advent calendar, the curtains and all your amazing touches~
So ya...I could live in that room,if you would feed me!!! Love it!
This is a magical, and so very beautiful room, dearest Dawn- I could study it for hours, and still see beauties all over, not seen before.
I love all your displayes with babydresses, and wonderful soft colored fabric`s- glasses with all kind of pretty inside,-and love your desk, with the beautiful curtains, and books to inspire, Oh you just made this place so very much you, in every way, sweetie, and so full of inspiration, and good feelings, precius friend.
Thanks for the warm and cosy feelings , which filled me when watching.
Love and hugs,
Dorthe
Its a wonderful space Dawn...I looked for that little doll trunk and found it...so sweet...blessings

Love it all....

I have been following your blog for a short while now, and have loved every post, so I knew that when I saw your studio I would just swoon! It is so beautiful. I love your style and all of the vintage goodness :) Thank you for sharing!

Dawn, What a wonderful space so full of treasures. No wonder you are so creative! Love the look makes me want to start on me a space. I live in an old home also and finding a space is a challenge!
Dawn,
I love every nook, cranny, and corner. I can always find inspiration here and I have so missed visiting while I was on break! I love your new studio, so inspiring and all those amazing supplies! Thank you for sharing you passion! Have a great weekend!
Oh I knew I would love your studio Dawn!!! It is so full of gorgeousness my friend. I can see you passing through on your way to the bedroom and thinking...'hmmm, I think I need to sit down and start this or that'. What a place full of inspiration!
sending hugs from here...
Dawn,
I LOVE your new studio space in your darling farm house! Everything is divine, I love all the collections and inspirations. Congrats on the Handmade issue too!

I never tire of visiting your creative spaces over the years....big size...down size...you make it all work with your flair and charm! A feast for the eyes at every turn! TFS!!
Hi Dawn, Your new space is just beautiful. I think no matter what space you had it would be just gorgeous! thanks for sharing!

Dawn what a great space. You have a lot in there but I'll bet you know where everything is. I love your curtains where did you get the fabric it is amazing.
Love your work,
Sue
I have enjoyed my visit to your place and I hope you stop by mine. I love all your birds always and my name also happens to be Dawn. Have a great day!
Lovely! The thing that stood out the most to me was your beautiful embroidered netting (don't know the real name for that kind of lace). I find it difficult to locate at a price I can afford. You've done a great job organizing your small space. Did you put the odds and ends leftovers in your shop?
Hi Dawn, Oh what a lovely place to create, so many inspirations. I could look at your photo's all day. Thank you for sharing your wonderful space. Have a wonderful week. Hugs, Terri

Take care, keep well and in touch.

hugs~~~ Daphne
Sweet Dawn I am sooo in love with your studio!! I don't putting it into a smaller space has hurt it one bit! It is is still just as fabulous! It is filled with so many lovely things created by yourself and by friends, how can you ever leave??? And don't even get me start about all your wonderful supplies. TDF!!! Thank you so much for joining the party again this year!

Your studio is perfect! I love all the vintage, the treasures and the cozy feel of your studio.
Thanks for the tour, I wish I could tour it in person.
My favorite rooms are the ones where all the treasures are out in the open. It makes me want to hit the antique stores! Thanks for sharing. Your room is gorgeous!
I must say I am in love with your creative space! I love the treasures it holds and those curtains...oh my!

Abby
Your house is beautiful. Everything looks so nice together, especially all the soft whites and creams. Thanks for sharing!
I love all the photos. Very relaxing. Thank you for your post.
