For the third year in a row, Karen from My Desert Cottage is hosting "Where Women Create 2011".
This usually takes over a week to go and visit and take in all of the wonderful and inspiring places, large and small..... This year she has over three hundred participants!!!! Isn't that amazing! It's going to take weeks to get around, but think of all the fun, come and join everyone and be inspired! Enjoy my little sewing room photos......
Sometimes I take along one of sewing baskets...
My collection of gorgeous handmade dolls from talented designers!
Supplies all ready to go.
Miss Eliza watching over me...
Photos of my Mom and Baba to inspire me....
Lots of ribbon and lace...
Thank you!

I love your space. It is really soft and inspiring. I also really like the music you have chosen. I usually turn off the sound, but this is the perfect music to read by.
Your space is so beautiful, Margaret! I can see just from the pictures how inspiring it would be to be in here! I love all your dolls and your containers filled with fun things.
Oh, Mags, your space is just how I envisioned it, lovely, warm and inspiring, just as you are to me!! ♥ your doll collection and I see we like to use the decorative boxes :)

Oh Margaret - what a beautiful (and neat!) place you have in which to work your magic! I love all those jars all lined up - what a wonderful way to showcase your notions. And that sewing box - I adore it - I am gig to copy that idea - I have sewing boxes from my grandmother - (now why have I not utilized those?) Guess that's why we get inspiration from each other!

Dear Margaret, HOW NICE TO SEE YOUR WORKSPACE! I see you have bunnies strew about here and there; I LOVE VINTAGE STYLE RABBITS! This was a fun event for sure and I enjoyed seeing so many beautifully organized spaces, yours included! Thank you for visiting me last night! Have a wonderful Sunday, Anita
Love your sewing basket! Several gals have used jars for display like you, that's one idea I need to put to use in my space. You can see what's what and it adds alot of color, win, win!

What a beautiful studio you have! It's so great the way you've organized your supplies and treasures.
I noticed your sewing machine. The NH6000 was my first ever computer sewing machine; was also my favorite. Alas, it no longer worked, so I had to get another NH.
Thank you for the tour of your creative space, I'm sure you spend some fun times there.
Hope all is well with you, dear one!
Hugs,
Monica xoxo

Look at that sewing room..... Beautiful! Just checking on you and wonder how you are.... It has been such a terrible summer with temps hotter than I can remember.. I have lost most of my landscape and not sure if I will replace some of it. Seems that Oklahoma is turning into a desert..... I need to plant things that are drought resistant... Box woods and such..... Anyway, just wonder how you are and wanted to stop by and send my hugs....
I admire all of your collections.

Dear Maggie:
I'm so far behind this summer that it's not even funny. Sorry I haven't been around more often to bug you! lol
I love the photos of your studio. You create so many wonderful and inspirational projects there. I can't help but smile whenever I think about it!
I'm going to have my 800th Post Giveaway next week, so stop by if you can. And my next Memory Lane Monday is the 29th if you'd like to join in. I always love reading your stories.
Hope all is well with you. I think of you often even if I don't tell you.
Love and hugs,
Donna and Tag
Coming by to see about you again... Just checking! Looks like we are going to have a cold front move in this weekend..... and I am THANKFUL! Looking forward to the fall...... even though I am a summer person.. Sending you a fall colorful hug.....

OOOOHH looking at all of your well organized goodies makes me want to come over and play with you! I have GOT to get my studio tidied up...but I know it would be right back to it's present condition. It is a creative MESS!

Your special place- this creative space- is truly a place where I could stay all day. I think it looks like a comfortable and inspiring place to bring your creations to life. Your treasures are beautifully displayed- I would love to be there to touch your special things that you use when you create.
It's so very special Margaret-- as are you--
