I didn't plan it this way...

but looks like my studio will be the first area to be fully renovated in our life, I mean, year long project.

It just sorta evolved faster and let's face it, I need to get my crafty on ~ just do!  It is better that way...

Plus, there is storage out there...rationalizing studio before kitchen.

"Out there" is the barn - fits seven cars, if you were so inclined, has a second floor accessed by a spiral staircase & a cupola on top.

The second story is my office & studio - get your crafty on girl!

It was filled to the rafters with the prior owner's collections including 2 actual cars in pieces - really it was.

This is all that is left from his stash & I am thrilled to have it.  

Since these photos of the cleaned out space & framing, the dry wall went up.  Painting will commence on Tuesday.

Until then we are having a peek at some of my crafts of Christmas past.

 So many new folks with us since last year thought you might enjoy seeing & learning how to make my favorite Christmas crafts.

With these tutorials you can get your crafty on before me, but I'll be at it soon.  

Release your inner Elf no matter what space you are in - get to making these Christmas crafts!

Now where's my glue gun & glitter?
