I have been so excited about this year's event and now it's TIME!
Hope you'll visit Karen HERE and have fun visiting everyone who is sharing their creative spaces!
Welcome to Lavender Cottage!
Art by Catherine Holman! Visit her HERE !
I love having a nice room to do my sewing and crafting.
This room faces the front of my home here in Florida and lets all of the Florida sunshine into my space! (looks like the sun is trying to peek in the window! lol )
I enjoy making all sorts of things and even sit down with a sketch pad and draw when I am inspired!
A desk for crafting...
and one for sewing.
I love dolls and even made a few Barbie clothes this summer.
I am surrounded by art by Catherine Holman and a cross stitch that I did years ago.
I've made mice....
and bears.....
and bags!
And most of the things you see around the room!
I love sweet vintage things that I find here and there
and display over my desk.
And now it's time to sit down at this desk and visit YOU!
Thanks for stopping by! Come again soon!
Take time to have FUN...and be creative!

I love the peek at your studio. We collect some of the same things! I want to get one of those Catharine Holman prints for my new house. I love her work too. Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely space. And that little pencil cup is the cutest. So this is where you create, how wonderful.

Hello there Florida girl!
What a nice and spacious and delicious place you have to create. Love the windows - I only have one in my studio! And wow - you really have lots of different ways to be creative. I like seeing your sewing projects. Very diverse. Thanks for the tour!

It's a wonderful room! I think anyone who can sew Barbie clothes is an amazingly patient person! I'm jealous of all your Catherine Holman paintings...so wonderful and I had no idea that you draw yourself. That's fantastic.
Oh, I love your space! And all the pretty things you've done with it. Mine is a mess!
Have a happy weekend!
What a wonderful, spacious and, cheerful studio you have! the dolls in the last picture... what are they called? I think I used to have a doll like that. ( I lost her in a hay field on a farm in British Columbia when I was about 6 years old, but have never forgotten her.)
Hi Diane, just a wonderful room and look at all the pretties. I love the light in your space also. So nice!!
Have a great weekend.

I love a light filled room ! Looks like a great space to spend time in.

Golly gee wiz...No wonder I like you. Look at those little puckered lip dolls and your bears and mice. I love this post and seeing your happy space.
I just finished reading a magazine on Studio's that inspired me to get mine in better order.
Love sent for a happy day ahead.
Diane - I can't believe how talented you are! What a wonderfully inspiring space you've made for yourself to tap those creative juices.

What a wonderfully creative space!
I adore your storage solutions. They have inspired me.
What a wonderful, fun, spacious room so so many lovely distracting things! I have a similiar Kokeshi "pencil-holder". I am writing from Tokyo & have seen these dolls here originally meant to hold toothpicks.
What a great space!
Love your Barbies- I haven't sewn Barbie clothes in ages...just what we need- another project!
Thanks for having us over!
Sparkly Hugs,

I like your bird drawing. You should keep doing those! [If you like!]
Down to the studio now where it is cool.
I love summer mornings and summer menus. The heat of the day, I'm not so sure!

What a great organized space you have. And so much light! Thank you for sharing.
You are an amazingly talented (and way too organized) individual.
Although I know about many of your hobbies and crafts, it is both humbling and fun to see all of them together along with your creative space.
Bright and cherry creative space to create any thing your heart wishes and so many unique treasure you have shared with us...thanks you so much.
Awesome space with great light! Thanks for sharing!!
Your mice are so cute! Thank you for having us over for a visit and sharing your space with us.
I'm jealous that you have 2 work tables...that way you don't have to clean one up before starting another project. ;o) Thank you so much for visiting me & taking me on a tour of your wonderful studio. And your wee ones are incredible!
Oh gosh, I think I had those little dolls you ended your post with when I was a kid! Love your room and that you have such a nice big window for natural light. I remember my Mom made Barbie clothes for my dolls. She did such a great job, too. What a great memory and I can see from yours that those patterns have come a long way!
What a fun sunny space you have to create in! I too love Catherine's artwork, you are so blessed to own so many pieces. I love your sketch of the little bird, adorable! Thank you for sharing your creative haven.
You have such a great space for your studio! It's nice to see all your creations and art that you enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Connie
I am still working my way through the creative spaces! I am a fellow Florida girl, I live in Orlando. I love your space, and I love dolls also!
