Finally, I found a kitchen design that I fell in love with and my kitchenette area is being transformed into my studio. Here are a few construction pics of my room.
1st day of construction (wall to left was framed & drywalled)
2nd day tile floor laid
I know it has been a while since I post last but I've been busy, made several pony bead albums for several little girls, and constructed a Twist and Wrap Tag album (another Laura Dennison design).
Recently, I was assigned a project for an upcoming retirement party and I must say it has turned out pretty darn nice. I combined old fashion tissue flowers with nylon leaves. I had to make 30 carnations total and I hope they appreciate my hard work. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll post a pic of the photo frames I made for the center pieces (a Martha Stewart ideal).
Also, we installed my light fixture I got from Ikea. I love it because it shines over my head from the back.
Well, today Termra and I decided to made a pair of beaded Barefoot Sandals. Here is the pair that Termra made. I need a pedicure before I model mines.
Well here is my second Tall Envelope Album I did for my sister. I'm so glad I finish this one. The first travel album I did for her I put on the back burner for now but love how this one came out. Borrowed Laura's ideal of nesting the tags in the flower bed on the front cover.
I spent my time off today rearranging my desk a little. I realized that I was not using my copic markers enough to have them on my desk so I move them to the bookcase. To make room in the bookcase I took out one of the chubby cubbies I made a while back (markers, pencils and small tools holder). Well, I had some strap paper left from the CrossTalk mini and this is what I did to the Chubby Cubby.
Now, all my clear containers in my studio gets the strap leftovers.
Well, over the Christmas holiday I got to finish this album I volunteered to make for our boss who is out of the office for a few months. He loves his weekly meetings which I hardly go to but thought this would let him know that while he is absent I still don't go. I'm going to let everyone post weekly updates to him along with pictures from the office party he missed. I will fill out one tag just to let him know that I miss him.
Well, it has been a while since I've update my blog but hopefully I'm going to be better at this. Anyone who knows me, I'm always updating my studio. Here is a recent picture where I've closed off the opening between the family room and my studio with Ikea's Billy bookcases, 3 drawer chest and flat file units.
I don't know if this was less costly than having a permanent wall put up but it sure do give me the storage that I need since I started mini album making. Here are some pictures of the inside of some of the cabinets and drawers.
