Where Bloggers Create 2014

I'm so happy to participate in this years

Where Bloggers Create virtual tour 2014, 

hosted by Karen Valentine of My Desert Cottage.

Please stop by Karen's to check out all the other party goers. Thank you Karen for all your hard work in creating this funtastic virtual tour. 

  If you are anything like me and are often curious, looking for inspiration, and may enjoy exploring some amazing studios, craft spaces, sewing rooms, then please join in on this wonderful studio tour of  Where Bloggers Create.  And as a bonus you get to meet some unique and interesting like-minded woman who often become friends. After all a friend may be waiting behind a strangers face.

I'm excited to be attending again this year. I have moved since last year, but I do have a small room carved out in our new basement with a big window to let natural light in. It's a smaller room then my last studio, but I have managed to make it work. Some of my things are still in boxes...I will find them eventually. 

 Serendipitously our new smaller home has a front room that I use for my office, just like my last home. Yippee! I hope that you will follow along with my new blog adventure, Petal & Lace Cottage.

Welcome To My Studio

Lots of natural light 

Thought I would put my vintage lamp replica 
in my room this time

Since we have no dining room in this house 
I thought rather then to sell my china cabinet I would use it for 
fabric and books etc.

My hubby made me this fantastic fabric rack 

My vision board and 12X12 scrapbook frames where 
I can display my next pages.  

My farmhouse kitchen island works great as a 
cutting table and for scrap-booking

My bookcase which will fill up when I find the rest of my stuff 

Some vintage family keepsakes.  Yes I did use that iron when I was a little girl

You might be asking, what does the "P" stand for when my name is Helena...
My dad nick-named me Pidge and it has stuck after all these years.

My Mothers Lazy Susan houses some of my trinkets 

My little photo printer for scrapbooking

The chandelier is from my old office...works great here...Oh and the Mary Mary Quite Contrary Doll is in memory of my sweet Mom by the same name. Only she was not contrary 

Some previous creations

Embroidery sampler...I love to embroider

My Office 

Our antique chandelier adds some bling to my room

A room of my own

My morning sanctuary, where I write and enjoy my morning tea 

Enjoy The Party

Thank you all for visiting today 
There are many studios to visit, so I best get started.
Another big thank you to Karen for inviting me to the party 
and for inspiring me to get my room organized.  
Maybe now I will find my remaining unopened boxes.

 Memory Box Creations is my poetry blog where you can find my studio from our last home. 
 Last year my husband and I downsized to another home across town and I thought..A new blog? Why not! At Petal & Lace Cottage I will share my personal touches to try and bring cottage flair to our new  home on a dead end street surrounded by trees in Beautiful Kawartha Lakes. I invite you to come along as we attempt to change an ordinary house into a home.
