Pretty~Pretty~
My sweet bought me some roses. They help my calm my nerves since next Thursday I'll be going in for a little surgery! Yikes! Makes me nervous!!! My hernia needs to be repaired , right now I can't lift anything more than 10 pounds and it's driving me nuts!! Considering my little baby doll who's two now weighs about 30 pounds so I can't even pick her up for a huggy!
Anyways ~ I did a small makeover to my studio ,after seeing pictures of it I wasn't happy with the way it looked. One thing I have realized is that taking a photo of your room and then looking at it that way can really make you see things you may not see otherwise.
A sweet little glass cake plate full of some of my prettiest old earrings,I just can't get enough of !! And my favorite candle holder ,this sweet angel, it makes me happy looking at it, so I keep it in my studio where i do spend alot of time.
Has anyone else started bringing christmas stuff out like I have?? My husband was making fun of me saying " we don't celebrate 25 days of christmas ,we more like celebrate 100 days of christmas!" I just told him it only comes once of year and I LOVE christmas!!! On Thanksgiving I am already planning our trip to the tree farm, the tree will officially be up that day!
So I have been fixing these sweet little trees up! I practically got robbed when my Mom came over she loved them, so I let her have one, but only one! I am a hoarder, don't you know!
And a picture of the studio,Instead of a L shape for the tables,I changed it to tables down both sides with a shelf down the middle. I do really like it better, what do you think? Also for some reason my camera is on the blink. The picture is so yellowy!
It's messy but a good messy! Any who will be back with more!!! xoxo Andrea

Looks like great fun! I loooove those trees, too!
Congrats to Lori! Your small Christmas trees are gorgeous! And so is your studio, it looks so inviting, I told you before that I feel sorry that I don't live around the corner. Good luck on your surgery, just think of the goal: to be able to do everything again. Thinking of you!
Great creating room. Good luck on your surgery and listen to the doctor and your body and don't over do too soon. Florence

What eye candy!!! Just absolutely beautiful!!!
Good luck with your surgery. All will be well, and remember to REST and not overdo!!!
Oh, yes, a picture is worth a 1000 words. I notice so many things in photos of my dolls that my eye doesn't catch while I'm working on them.
Hugs,
Marsha

LOVE your little Christmas trees! Oooooh they're sooo pretty!
And your studio is so pretty and frilly looking, it looks like you.
I just love visiting your blog for a good dose of pretty!
Good luck with your surgery, hope you're back in the pink soon, and can pick up your baby again!
I love that you are starting on Christmas.....my husband used to roll his eyes, but it takes me weeks to get everything out, and if you wait until Thanksgiving, you don't have enough time to enjoy it, so I say "you go girl"!!
Have a lovely day....
Valarie
p.s. I love your craft studio
Yes, I think your studio layout is much more practical, the U shape is a good work area!
All of your things are so pretty. Love the colors
I love the sweet little trees and the beautiful jewelry. Your studio is very cozy! I have also started with Christmas decoration since I like to have a long season :-).
Thank you for sharing all of the wonderful pictures with us. Best of luck to you with your surgery. I had hernia surgery and you just have to try to take it easy which is probably a joke with a two year old!! God bless. : )

Hi! This is Paige, Jo Packham's assistant. I just wanted to let you know that I just added your beautiful site to the Where Women Create blog. Thanks for adding us! Have a great day:)
I just love all the mercury glass ornaments! My mother found adorable vintage ornaments at an antique store in downtown Medina, unfortunalty for me though, i live in Vegas where antique shops aren't a stick shake away- do you know where i could acquire some lovely mercury ornaments? with a small price tage of course
Sincerely,
Amanda
Beautiful images of a magical studio!!! Lovely creations indeed!

I just discovered your blog today and love your beautiful decorations complemented by the awesome photographs. The color palette is pastel yet Christmas-ey at the same time.
