a craft room update ... ♥

well. i promised an updated tour of my studio

and i finally got it done! whew...

it's a hard room to snap pics of (it's never clean & tidy) and to catch good light at the right time of day is a challenge on this side of my house. 

between upstate NY gloomy fall weather and my messy crafting habits

getting those two things to happen at once are like the planets aligning or something

(i don't think the planets really align)

(but in the new Thor movie they do for pretend)

(wait ... do they?)

(no. they don't)

glad that's taken care of.

i get a lot of questions & emails about this room, and most of them are similar ... but when i originally blogged about it here, things were a bit different and a lot of little changes have happened over the past two years ... 

so instead of narrating, i'll just let you enjoy the eye candy without my annoying descriptions of every picture ... and if you have any questions about how we did something or about where i got something, just leave a comment and i'll do my best to answer them throughout the day ... kay?! 

so grab a cup a somethin' and stay for a bit puh. lease. thanks :)

(oh, and my hubby's original plans for the big table are here)

most of the artwork & prints you see on my inspiration wall are from 

some of my favorite etsy shops ...

pen & paint ~ katygirl designs ~ yellow heart art ~ 

doodles by amy lou (on instagram) ~ joy's hope ~ mandipidy ~ grace for grace

this space in our home is a blessing to me ... a gift from my husband really

who has yet to finish the basement or make a place he calls his own,

 that we often talk about. he wanted to see my dreams and goals come full circle, and is so supportive of everything i try to accomplish. do i love this room? yeah.

but i love why i have it more. i'm loved by a man God gave to me 

and i'm living out my calling for Christ. 

that's more joy than a hundred cute craft rooms :)

thanks for stopping by today and remember to leave a comment

if there's somethin' you want to know.

that this room inspires and makes you guys happy is a gift all in itself, i appreciate all of you.

happy new week ♥
