My studio is my haven that I dream about all day when I am at work. While in my studio, it takes me a million miles away, to a wonderful creative world. I went from having no creative space pretty much, to my husband having a studio built in our backyard just for me. With increased space, my supplies increased, funny how that happens. I feel like I am forever reorganizing and trying to find the next best storage for my stash.
I take lots of classes, go to events and seem to always be involved in some sort of swap of some kind. I started a long time ago as a tole painter, t-shirt painter, scrapbooker and now altered artist. My favorite medium these days is making jewelry.
I want to thank Karen Valentine for letting participate again this year!
I hope you enjoy some of these shots of my studio and I thank you for stopping by. Terry

Lucky you! What a wonderful space to have just for creating! I like your post -- short and sweet and to the point, and you let the pictures do the talking. Lovely! Enjoy and have a great weekend. Tammy

What a gorgeous space for creating in! Isn't it wonderful being able to close the door and disappear into a world of your own making after a long day at work?

Your space is wonderful. I think my favorite thing is the window seat with shelves nearby.
Great space.

What an adorable creative cottage you have! I loved the "pet rock" on your window seat, did your darling dog model for it? I adore all the labeled storage bins too, great way to keep track of stuff. Thank you for sharing.

You have a beautiful space! Love the wall with the black picture frames and accents. A backyard studio is such fun. It's like having a grown-up play house!
