Welcome! Thank you Karen for hosting such a lovely party! 
Come on in and stay awhile in my lovely studio. This beautiful room was empty for a very long time after we moved into our home. When my grandmother sold her home she gave each grandchild a gift and I chose a beautiful craft desk, and a sewing machine,
and thus began my studio. 
The room itself is inspiring with views of my plants and the sound of birds. 
I am inspired by my surroundings, so I try to keep little pieces of vintage, color and reminders of things near and dear to me close. 
I collect vintage lace, buttons, fabrics and other little tokens of yesterday.
I also love yarn, as most knitter's do. I love the colors, the textures, working with a beautiful yarn brings me joy!
This is my favorite spot to sit, knit, and have an afternoon glass of iced coffee
~ I guess that is the drink of choice here in the Northeast, although I confess I love sweet tea!
As a knitwear designer, I am usually not finished with a piece until it "speaks" to me, so I will surround myself with what we call WIP~ a work in progress.
I dress up my little mannequins and will keep coming back to the design and rework until it's right. 
The beautiful decopage mannequin post was purchased on Etsy from The Moxie Sisters. It is a beautiful piece and I fell in love with it at first sight.
This summer I have discovered a total obsession with vintage lace. I found quite a bit on a trip to an outdoor vintage market near New Hope. I am enjoying incorporating it into my pieces.

I am also a book lover, so I always feel a need to be surrounded by books.
Thank you for stopping in and visiting! 
Come back and see me again, I will be having a giveaway next month in anticipation of fall!

You had me at buttons..... Love the creative space wow lovely. I would feel inspired too. I am really enjoying the collections everyone has.
P.S. Do you make those hats? My daughter would love one!
Thank you Debra, I do make the hats, I have some in the shop, the two on the desk are almost finished, and I take custom orders :)
Beeecccaaaa.
I'm coming over. Fix me a glass of iced coffee. Matter of fact I think I'm moving in! Do you think the mannequins would mind?
Seriously girl...THIS is what I want my studio to look like! I love black and cream...it's so elegant and you have it just so perfect!!!! I love how you have to step down into the room and you have lots of windows...{sigh}
Can I just say I'm a wee little jealous ;)
everything vintage
ps...I'll be there in a few hours ;)
Oh, it is beautiful. How wonderful that your studio started with an inheritance from you Grandmother. That makes it all the more special. And the view out your window of your yard and garden. Perfect!
Sorry! that was supposed to be 'your grandmother!'
Your studio is absolutely lovely! No wonder you are so creative, sitting in a space like that. Inspiring, indeed!
Hey Chickadee!
What a wonderful way to start off a comfy studio then with your grandmas things!!

I love the vintage lace you found! I have never learned to knit but I love to watch my friend cast away. Your work is just beautiful as is your creative space. Thank you for sharing.
What lovely things you have. I have quite of few of works in progess......someday I will finish them!
I love buttons and have a couple of those styro foam heads and have considered covering one with bottons like a mosaic, but cannot figure out what adhesive to use that will hold and not melt the styro foam. Come on over and visit my studio at:
