Where women create post

Hi everyone.

For the first time I am taking part in the where women create blog roll.  Last year I got my own crafting space when we redid our spare room.  I absolutely love it.  Its not the hugest space in the world but it means so much that come 5.00pm I dont have to start putting away all the stuff I got out to craft with and that when hubby comes home I can down tools and leave it overnight if I want to.  We also get to eat on the kitchen table now. 

My most recent makes.  I love using beads and lace

Not the most tidyest but I know exactly where everything is.  I am making little hangable lavender bags at the moment.  They have lace, f

lowers, charms, ribbon on them.  You can hang them anywhere you want and they smell pretty good too.

All my paints and paper.  You can never have too many, though if I buy anymore I will need another house.

Beads and buttons are a few of my favourite things.

the lavender bags.  Yet to be filled up with lavender.  That is dried and ready to go in

just gotta find the time to do it.

more stuff and a couple of books when I feel like reading.  Inkheart, and I forget the other one.

ooooooooooooooooh lovely chandellier prisms from Ebay.

Im going into a trance.  I could spend hours looking at beads and imagining what I could do with them

My bank balance is looking a bit light though right now.  I'll have to be content with what I already have.

The sea view I have for inspiration when I create.  Living by the sea is wonderful.  So many different moods.  Living in Portland, Dorset UK is a never ending source of inspiration.  I love nature.  The raw essence of the sea and how changeable it is keeps my ideas on the move.  The trouble is my brain cant always keep up.  I write ideas down sometimes.

The elements are always changing.  IT can be sunny out front and raining out back here.  And the wind, dont get me started on the wind.  All inspiration sources though.  I love to use nature in my art. from flowers to sea creatures.
