MY REALLY LITTLE CREATIVE CORNER

MY LITTLE CORNER
Here are some photos of my little creative corner and I mean little.
I sometimes end up on the kitchen table when I have run out of space
I love my desk as it has a pull out slide over the drawers which gives me some space to lay stuff out
My desk looks kind of neat -it isn't always this neat.
There is a lovely slanted desk with a lift up lid on the floor beside my desk – just waiting to find some interesting looking legs to put onto it.
I use it to store some ribbons, papers and books.
This slide out shelf on the desk is so useful

Lots of pretty glitter. There is heaps more hidden in the draws.

Some of my favourite books.
I want to try some of the gorgeous crowns in one of the books.
Pretty colours on my desk
Cute little desk lamp

I just love this cute little note pad – pretty pink hat and ear rings.
Some of my favourite books.

I love playing in my little corner of my world.

It looks like you have a nice crafting area. I like the taupe walls with the white furniture, very relaxing.

It's a lovely creative corner Alison, I think very organised and everything on hand. I bet your MIL wouldn't have cared where she slept, just the fact she's with her family who care about her, bit hard for you this Chrissy I should imagine, hope it was OK though.
OH yes so hot here today, and hotter by Monday, we don't have A/C do you?

What a lovely and pretty little area to play in. Very creative ways of 'foiling' the MIL!!!!

Just Between Us Girls said...

Dear Allison,
I do not think you need to be concerned about clutter. You have everything under control. You are so organized. Excellent. Everything is so attractive and pretty. When I was young I use to have a desk like that in an office. My typewriter sat on the place where the drawer slides out.

Jeanne said...

What a lovely crafting space you have Alison. I feel inspired just looking at it. It's always fun to see where other people create. I love how you "out-smarted" your MIL by blocking the wardrobe doors...sounds like something I would do!

Lori said...

Alison, be very happy that you have a little space to call your own...all of my creations are constructed at the kitchen or dining room table...nice glitter collection:)

Siobhan said...

At you least you have a space! No matter how small! I always have to drag my goodies from my closet and craft when the kiddies aren't around.
:(
I get it done though!

12 Days of Christmas Swap said...

Goodness, pristine, immaculate -I remember frenzied attacks on drawers, cupboards, wardrobes etc in readiness for my MIL, just in CASE, she felt moved to have a look -of course she never did, but one doesn't want to be caught out with any slack housekeeping.
Happy New Year
Hugs from N.Z.

Hi Alison,
I came over to thank you for the kind comment you left me last night! Wow- I normally don't have my volume turned up but for SOME reason it was on and I heard the song....Tears in heaven...It made me smile and it was a nice little tap on my shoulder. Thank you for that!
I love your craft area-mine is a total disaster!
Best wishes to you and yours for 2008!
