That sweet lil’ Doe
October 25th, 2007
The little pic tease’s goodie came. OH MY! That sweet little Doe… look what she sent! An effing adorable little Cath Kidston mushroom pin cushion that I JUST LOVE (I’ve had a thing for mushrooms and Heinzelmännchen since I was a little kid!). And the best part is Doe’s little tag hung on it. And if that wasn’t enough… Doe also sent some killer CK stationary - which I can’t bear to use and will keep it by my computer, staged, so I can pretend it’s something I use on a daily basis in my little realm of unreality. And no, that is not a flash. It’s not lighting. That my friends is s-u-n-s-h-i-n-e!
So here’s where my little Doe-shroon is now sitting. On my shelf-o-joy right by my beaver (crap… you know THAT’S gonna get me a ton of spam) that Laurie sent me and my little aqua/red birdie in a mailbox that Pam sent me. Click here if you want to see the goodie love close-up.
Panning out… my shelf-o-joy is right above my “ironing center”. I really was hesitant about taking a shot of my messy studio. But WTF… it’s how I live. One day I plan to clean my mess and take some nice shots and use it for posterity - like looking at a skinny pic of me to motivate me to kick the Best Foods habit. And one day I may even straighten up my cupboards and show what cotton treasures are hidden behind Door Number One, Door Number Two, Door Number Three… AFTER I tackle my closet that’s still in boxes and bags from my move last summer. Hidden somewhere in that closet are other mailbox love treasures I have not yet shown (and need to COME OUT). I also need to get them out to show what beautiful people are in my life and what beautiful things they’ve done for me! I’m such a scheißekopf of a friend!

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
the secret of a perfect studio is not photographing the messy corners, ich würde natürlich in deinem Schrank zu gerne Mäuschen spielen, die Stoffschätze!! mine are stacked neatly but people would faint at the masses ;-)
October 25th, 2007Your room is too beautiful! With Mimi’s quilt along quilt hung up too! Ahhhhhh…
October 25th, 2007Your studio is beautiful. If you call that messy, you should pop in here. I can barely see the carpet.
October 25th, 2007Thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not covet…thou shalt not covet…
October 25th, 2007Oh my gosh Monica - what a beautiful room, beaver and all:):):)
Awesome! I LOVE that room!! Totally my style!
October 25th, 2007I’m glad you like your pressies! And I’m loving your sewing room. This place is effing CUTE!
As long as I can maneuver around my sewing table, i’m good to go!
BTW, where is your beaver?!!! OMG, did I just ask you that?! Hahahahaha!!!!
October 25th, 2007I think I could enjoy even ironing in your ironing center. Looks so fun & inviting. And THIS is NOT a mess…looks well organized and tidy to me.
October 25th, 2007Did someone say BEAVER??? OMG!!!! I think you did. And you keep it on a shelf in your sewing room????? LMAO!!!!
October 25th, 2007I love your sewing center by the way. Could it be any cuter? No of course it couldn’t. LOVE IT!!
What a gorgeous room…Im sooooooooooo jealous, all that space……that organization, who cares if stuff falls out of the doors when you open them, its fabulous!!! I love everything about it!
October 25th, 2007GASP !! I am pea green with envy — what a cute sewing room ! (how impressive that you can actually see your ironing area and actually use it without moving a pile of crap off of it!!) ….. oh, and of course you can come over for dinner (but we scarfed up that chicken pot pie, and I’m too lazy and disorganized to make anything else this week, so you have your choice of PB&J or a salami sandwich…)
October 25th, 2007Darling, adorable, sweet, cute, yellow, red, aqualicious - these are all words to describe YOUR space.
I love your comments on my blog, my friend but my responses keep bouncing back to me. What’s up????
October 26th, 2007I’m really impressed with your German cursing. You have a talent, my friend. The mushroom is cute and I am so jealous of your ironing station. Mine currently blocks either J’s bedroom door or his bathroom door. Sometimes, I get to hear him trip over it in the morning. Good times!
October 26th, 2007scheißekopf
nein…
October 26th, 2007Hmmm, if that is a mess do not come over to my sewing room. I gave up on tidying it though, I realized that I just make a mess when I am creating. When it is tidy, I am making nothing. LOL
October 26th, 2007On the shelf next to your beaver?! HA! Oh man, I’m pre-coffee this am, but that REALLY cracked me up. LOVE your new treasures and that sewing room! It’s apparent you don’t know what messy is. Hi to Mimi in the corner!
October 26th, 2007Ok, your sewing room is sooooo not messy. Not even a little smiggen of dust do I see. In fact I will post a picture of myyyy sewing room tomorrow to encourage you to throw some fabric around and undecorate the place up. Sincerely jealous Mel.
October 26th, 2007I would want to sit next to your beaver too… I want to move in… but then your house was always my dream home. Remember something about you coming to decorate for me??? So much to tell you will call soon. L
October 26th, 2007Your studio is so inspirational! How do you get any work done? I would be staring at all that loveliness all day.
October 26th, 2007Messy??? Really??? Then I am not showing you my sewing room! Yours looks great. I love the shelf and all its contents :)
Love,
October 26th, 2007Jodi
Holy Flippin Moses! That is so cute, and you know that I almost pass out every time I see your shelf of joy. (That sounds unbelievably dirty). The colors are just delicious. I covet the mushroom pin cushion. So darling!
October 26th, 2007OMG, love the sewing room! haha,and if thats a mess, you should see mine :( Show us more! Rose
October 26th, 2007I’m sorry, you’re not allowed to say your studio is a mess what it is SO FRACKIN’ CUTE! And I love the ironing shelf idea–how did you do that? I want to copy you! ~A :-)
October 26th, 2007Wowie wow! Such a cute sewing room!!! Dang, now I want to repaint mine yellow.
October 26th, 2007Lovely sewing room!
October 26th, 2007Damn! (Ok, the beaver made me say that) You call that messy? I call it spotless. And fabulously cute — just what we would expect!!!
October 26th, 2007What a sweet cozy spot. I love how cheerful it is. Haven’t seen MiMi in awhile. Doeshroom is too cute!

October 28th, 2007What a blog! What a studio! You don’t know Mess, but I forgive you… I think your studio is awesome and I am destressing just browsing around your Happy Zombie zone. I look forward to making regular visits. And thank you for leaving me a comment… your prayers really do help ;-)

October 28th, 2007Your craft room is adorable and not anywhere as messy as mine!
October 28th, 2007I’m late, but adding my love to your craft space ~ come do mine, will ya? Though mine just consists of a corner of the laundry room right now, but hey, baby steps…at least I’m not crammed into an attic room anymore that really should have been a closet..back to the point, who cares if you still need to unpack, my craft room is waiting for you - LOL!
October 28th, 2007Girl, if you call that messy, then I’m a certified slob. I love your space - seems so inspiring and comfy and happy.
October 29th, 2007I love the shelf and all the pretty stuff on, behind, around it! It is so very cheerful!
October 29th, 2007It’s too cute!!!
October 29th, 2007My Goodness, lady, you coulda cleaned the place up a bit before you took pictures! hee hee. Um, yeah, ok. Like your place has ever been messy. I always think of your house like one of those great little gift shops that you want to go to every time you’re in town just because of all the wonderful treasures to see and touch! And I don’t know what that whole scheißekopf is all about, but I think you’re a fantabulous pal and we’re all lucky to have you! kisses…..:)

Right that’s it. I’m tidying up mine.
October 31st, 2007Awww lucky you…I absolutely adore the mushie cushion!! :D Cute Cute Cute!
October 31st, 2007I love your new sewing room! If that’s a mess, then you don’t need to see pictures of mine. Mines a mess even after I clean it!
October 31st, 2007How in the world does one create wonderful things AND have such a clean and wonderful studio?
October 31st, 2007I adore this whole thing and wish it was mine.
If I win the lotto, will you come and design my new studio?

Hello! ! Visit my blog you have an award.
November 1st, 2007So seriously stinkin’ cute! I love the custardy yellow paint, it makes everything stand out so sweetly.
November 1st, 2007Your sewing area is so bright & cherry! Love it.
November 2nd, 2007Monica, your sewing room isn’t a mess - it’s GORGEOUS!! Happy, warm, inviting - wait! I’m coming down!!! LOL!! I MUST wait for an invitation first!! All that cuteness, and a beaver - who could ask for more?
November 2nd, 2007Doe is such a special person, isn’t she? Her gifties are always wonderful. Lucky, lucky you!
When can I move in to your sewing room - could it be any better?!!! Don’t think so :-)!
November 5th, 2007Um — if that’s your definition of “messy” ya wanna come to my house and help me clean? I can live with that level of “mess” happily. But, before you come, you might want to invest in some smelling salts and a hazmat suit. In the meantime — lovely things and a wonderful space to work in!
November 6th, 2007wowowowowowwowowowow I LOVE your stuffs..
to me messy is you can’t see the shelf cause of PILES of stuff, or messy is when you can write in the dust.. I tell the kids ‘yes you can write in the dust, but please dont date it’.. so many lovely things, I am so jealous of your creative space, and I too am a 30’s fabricologist, I have never met a 1930’s fabric I didn’t like..

What a wonderful crafting space! The ideas could just roll off your hands in a place like that. Beautiful.
November 19th, 2007I love your style ideas! My kitchen is decorated with cherry patterns, and they are moving to my work/sewing/everything else room. Would you please share where you got the cherry runner pattern? I’d really like to make one! If I took a photo of my mess, you would feel very organized!
January 29th, 2008Just passing through hunting for pics of craft rooms (remodeling here). Gotta say I love yours. It’s gorgeous!! Would ya do a girl a favor and share the yellow paint color you have on there?? I’m begging here..lol Moonbeam is definitely NOT the way to go! Messy?? I think not. :) It’s so homey and charming. Love the mushroom too!
February 17th, 2009You have a very funny studio. I like the colors!!! They are very happy…
August 2nd, 2010And you have a lot of things to decorate it. Really, it’s a personal and perfect studio to create.
LOVE your studio! I am currently designing one of my own (right of my boys’ playroom. Thank you for the inspiration!
