My new Bead Room...






I finally have a little bead room...it's in a tiny room in our garage that we've tried to use as kids bedrooms in the past, but mainly it has been an exercise and junk room. Well, it's a bead room now and I've been having a good time pulling out some of my most favorite and inspiring things and placing them in my new space. Hopefully all of this will spur some creativity on my part as I have been in a slump for a couple of months now. What you don't see in the picture is the elliptical machine off to the side of the room that keeps calling my name. I am trying to become reacquainted with it...but something else usually distracts me, like hanging paper lanterns or searching down the old raggedy ann doll that my mom made for me long ago.
As you can see, the room is well stocked and I've even got a pretend oven for cooking my pretend snacks....and a pretend sink to do my pretend dish washing. I'm counting on this little space to help me in many different ways - jump start some creativity, inspire physical exercise and provide me with an every now and then needed escape from this house where I'm now the only female. (it's obvious, huh? i miss my girls!)

Oh, I am so jealous! One of my goals this year (and last, but never happened) is to get my craft room/office organized again. this totally inspires me!

I love all your little decorations - everything is so you!
