Party!

This is my 2nd year participating in the Where Bloggers Create Party! It's so much fun checking out the other blogs.

My space is in our basement. It is small, but it works. I wish I had natural light and a sink. Maybe one day!

Right now I am into journaling and creating mixed media paintings. Some of my work is in a gallery in Hinsdale, IL where it is for sale. I clean up when the mess becomes too much for me to take, but it quickly becomes messy!

Max, my Havanese, keeps me company whenever I come down here. He was rescued from a puppy mill & is a fabulous man!

I hope you enjoy the party & find some new inspiring blogs to follow!

    Max is so beautiful! You are fortunate to have a space for crafting! Usually when the kids and I travel to the State for the summer, we hang out in Schaumburg for a few days. Haven't been back in a couple of years. Thanks for sharing your space and have a great weekend. :) Tammy

    Great space! I love that hutch you're using. It looks like you've got everything set up in such an organized manner. I totally understand about the messes. I feel like I just clean up my space and then I start another project and it's messy again! I'm in a condo so I have no window either, but I'm just so happy to have an actual room now {the last two years I had a small spot in our garage!}.

    Love that you display your art work. A white space with a white puppy, that is just too much fun. PS love that little cabinet. Keep smiling and creating

    Very cool space for being in teh basement, and you have lots of good room to spread out on. I like your two pieces (the grey cabinet in the corner and the little blue cart). Max is too cute : )

    It always amazes me when I find.. through a blog .... that someone is my "neighbor"! I can only imagine that we have crossed paths in a shop, at a Starbucks... you get the picture! Thanks for sharing your space and your talent! I will get in touch with you. And do visit my blog when you get a chance. We have different styles but our passions are the same!
