Portable Studio

I found this pretty box at a garage sale for $1. Filled with goodies to embellish and sew my creations it has lots of good storage and it came already prettied up. I just moved all my fabrics and sewing, (well, ok, not all of it. Some of it is still stored elsewhere) from Victorias room to ours so we can go get her today and bring her home. Her room must look like her room when she is here.
Some day....*sigh* I will have a whole (large) room for my painting, sewing, creating. No more mess everywhere. Right now though, I would rather have my girl in her room than my sewing:>)
To see more portable studios...go here. Phyllis thought this up and it will be fun to see everyones pretty creative materials don't you think?

Dear Kathy,
That is SO beautiful! I used to play in my mother's and my aunt's jewelry boxes as a child, so this really speaks to me. I would love to have a room of my own one day, too, so I know how you feel. But it is SO nice to have a "full nest" again, even if only for a few days. :)

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.
xoxo,
Mary
