It's WOYWW time...woo hoo!!
I figure my desk is getting kinda boring since I am cleaning up after each project, don't know how long this will last, but in the mean time here is a shot of my craft room...I'd try and call it a studio but can't do it without giggling! And I really should have removed the evidence of chocolate sitting on the corner...can we say choco-holic!?! .....guilty as charged!
Welcome to the edition of the 1950's hoarding storage! A corner of my room I've not shared before. This is the view from where I sit at my desk. This original gossip/phone table is one of my favorites, that has been placed on top of my mom's hope chest. I use it for storage, like I place my laptop on the padded seat when I am crafting. Great place to watch videos while working away! The wall clock is also an authentic 1950's clock, I have been utilizing the cord by hanging my decorated clothes pins from it...both make me happy. In the corner is a round tiered commercial bakery stand.
All these pieces do double duty in my small apartment. During the winter when I have Christmas decorations up, they hold my plants; when the decorations get put away, the plants go back to their normal place and then their use is for storage for crafts....and miscellaneous this and that stuff. lol

Now be expecting a mega dose of Mother's Day cards for 2 reasons:
1. I have no back inventory for the store because ever since my Mom died, they were too hard to make. And then, even when my grief had subsided I had no reason to make them as I had no one to send them to. Now, I get to make some body's mom happy ♥ I love that.
2. And the Art MoB has issued a 30 projects in 30 days challenge, with a show at the end of the period. So I am going to make 30 Mother's Day cards.
"The 30 Day Challenge show will have an opening reception on April 6th from 3-5pm at the Art MoB. Refreshments and the artists will be there to share their experiences from this challenge with the community. Posters will be created from the work and sold to help host more 30 Day Challenge shows and create a scholarship for emerging artist." Art MoB
Interesting, huh?
I will be the most unassuming artist as I am doing cards, but what the heck, every thing new I do is a growth experience!

awesome looking crafty corner! The telephone table is cool! I remember having one that was wooden and we had to sit there to talk on the phone as the cords were so short. Love the Momma's day card. Very nice! My Mom passed on Feb. 8 1989 and it is always difficult in February for me. Thanks for sharing and have a great week! Vickie #28
I love vintage decor. I just can not pull it off. So sorry to hear about your moms passing but you did an awesome job with the lovely card. Happy WOYWW!

I SO LOVE your working space, sandee! I feel very much at home with it, as your multiple-using of furniture and all the other things is so exactly what I do too! *giggle.
Even the chocolate that has to be somewhere in reaching distance most of the time.
And I do not dare call my space a "studio" too...even if I am not really sure why. Maybe you and me just do not need to.
Have a wonderful WW and happy crafting!!!

Wow Sandee, that is a great view of your Studio! It is so neat and tidy looking too, I must show mine next week as it might shame me into tidying up! lol. Great Mother's Day card with a lovely sentiment. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #37
Always lovely to see the room people craft in, I do like your gossip chair/table. I think we might of had something similar when I was growing up.

Looks like a comfy spot to create! I love your baskets on your shelves. Your Mother's Day card is just perfect. The sentiment is ideal and love the layout and faux stitching. It sets it off perfectly. Winnie #92
How interesting your space is! So much wonderful storage! Glenda #88
What a lovely card sentiment. Great craft room too.

I really want to have a rummage through your craft room :) looks like I might find some forgotten treasures..I'm glad you are making Mother's Day cards again and I really like the one you showed today. Cx #99

love that recipe!!! so cute!!

I LOVE your craft room. It is so cozy and there is chocolate. What more could you ask for? April
Lovely card! My Mom passed away 7 years ago so I just don't make Mothers day cards (to difficult), but I like the way you think about making someone else happy!

Great to see different areas in your 'studio'! I call mine my craft room because that's what it is. Used to be my reading room but craft pushed the books out! Take care & enjoy this week whatever it brings. Zo xx 59
Good luck on your challenges! Pretty card! Tamika #131
Hi Sandee,
I LOVE Snickers too! That's my favorite candy bar in the world. When I buy them I keep them in the frig - yep, that's the way I roll!
Your craft studio looks great! And why wouldn't you call it a studio?
Love the Mother's Day card. Oh, but I'm in the same club as you. I lost my mom to cancer in 1991. I'm sure your cards will make mothers very happy though.
Yep, I think I'm changing the bird. But I have to see what papers I have left.... yikes.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,
Kay
Fear not, chocolate is good!
Love the green chair!
Happy WOYWW, have a super week,
Laura 146
Hi Sandee, I can really relate to the Mother's Day card story. Lost my Mom a couple of years ago and haven't really made Mother's Day cards since. Slow porcess, but I am getting around to makeing them again. Love your photos this week.
Krisha #21
Great to see another angle to your room Sandee, and to hear the story behind your treasures. Love the MD card, it's very pretty.

I love the picture of your room!
I'm sure your cards with make moms very happy! They are so beautiful :)
Hi Sandee, love your craft room! I really understand about your Mum; mine passed away 5 years ago and she was my biggest 'fan' so making cards for her was so special, hugs Carole Z#121
thanks for sharing the rest of your room I know what you mean about sameness(real word?). I am a chocholic who has given up for lent (aghhh it's hard but I have to proove to myself i can live without it.... crazy lady.
Love the recipe I might have to use that for mothers day if that's ok. Have a great week

Sandee, love your craft room. You mentioned a small apartment, well you certainly have utilized your space to a maximum. Love the vintage items you showed, and enjoyed hearing how you are using them. I hear you on the Mother's Day cards. I've only made 2 - for sis-in-laws. And yes, it was a bittersweet effort, but I should do some more, & think about My Mom as I make them. Thanks for sharing such a pretty space. (very tidy too!)
Oh My Sandee, you do have a lot of interesting pieces in your room!! I am seriously hyperventilating at the thought of 30 projects in 30 days...... I shall be on holiday early March so that'sme out then (phew!!). Yes I did send you a card, glad it arrived safely!! Happy WOYWW Cindy
O always love it when I get to see someone's craft room. It makes me not feel so much like a hoarder.
Of course, I don't think I've eaten that much chocolate in my entire life!! Well, maybe, but I never got chocolate when I was young. My grandparents didn't ever buy it for me. Of course, there was always Halloween, but that usually entailed apples, popcorn balls, and things we can't give out today.
Hi Sandee,
Lovely to see more of your room. The phone/gossip table is great!
I have to look away from the Mother's Day cards on display at the shops. (My mother was my biggest "fan", always loved anything I made. Better stop now, lump in throat ... sigh.)
Really gorgeous, love the layout. Thank you for joining in with the PanPastel Challenge Blog

Oh, man, Snickers! My fave! That was a great post, Sandee, and a super view of your room. Lots of wonderful eye candy (since you ate the other kind) to look at; loving the 50s everything!
Sorry, I'm late finishing up my WOYWW visits. Have a great rest of the week! Darnell #48
Hi Sandee, so nice to see a different shot of your room and your very lovely, and still useful, 1950s pieces too. Your pegs look great hanging from the clock. It saddens me to say this too, but I don't have any reason to make Mother's Day cards - mine passed away over 8 years ago and I still miss her - she was the embodiment of the verse on your card.
