Warning: photo overload
My “studio-space” (and I use that term very loosely) take’s up part of our sunroom. I got the half by the back door where people come and go …. so it’s not surprising that over the Christmas break it started to look like this:
Especially given that the last couple of weeks I’ve been sharing my space with our manic doodle (apparently *people* call labradoodle’s ‘doodles’, go figure):
I got sick of having to work at the breakfast bar. It’s also very uninspiring if one can’t sit down and play with their sparklies when feeling a creative urge. But thankfully underneath all the junk, I found my work bench:
I sat down last night and hammered out this for my sister’s birthday. I stunk the house out turning it black …. my antiquing process produces a smell that reminds me of rotten eggs and child-hood visits to Rotorua. Then I hammered it to within an inch of it’s life. I sure hope my sister appreciates it’s weathered vintage look – lol.
It says “circa 1986” on the back – because hey, that’s when she came into circulation … and what a cute little sister she was.
And while I had my photo tent out I snapped a shot of a necklace I made last year for a lovely local lady whose just had bubba number three (her precious wee heart baby).

Also, I just want to say a big thanks to Hay, she gave me another award (*gushes*). I think it may take me awhile to pass this one on though, I don’t know that many people in blogland. If you haven’t done so, then go check out Hay. Also, if you have a spare 10 hours and a nice comfy seat, she’s got an awesome list of fun blogs in her sidebar.
