It was tiny: chair, table, bookshelf easel. And you could reach it all from the center of the room...

I love being in the room and even just organizing the beads or whatever. I spend more time on weekends when I have longer stretches of unbroken time and can just work until I'm done. I have an idea in the back of my mind that I will make some studio space in my garage if I branch out into things that require more equipment. I do keep my tumbler in the basement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110950629018970436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-16159500567722292032015-07-04T12:27:39.710-04:002015-07-04T12:27:39.710-04:00I just love that little song!!

It is great for my kiln and torches and things I don't want to do in the house but whenever I can be in the house I prefer it! In the house I do not have a room all to myself but I do have a space and it includes a desk sitting in front of a large window with a nice view and it is my absolute favourite place to be at sunset!!Terri Del Signorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425316258931594932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-72774931879737297552015-07-04T03:34:56.802-04:002015-07-04T03:34:56.802-04:00I had a studio built when I bought my house (after...I had a studio built when I bought my house (after a divorce) 24 years ago.

One is my office where I telecommute to my paying job but I also have my laptop in there. I have a huge U desk though so I think I am going to bring my paper supplies in there so I can play in my down time. And I have my studio where I bead. I do actually have the rest of the basement too but it isn't organized.

I spend every day in my studio since I have retired and polymer clay and jewelry are my main activities. also since I developed health problems so I've become quite sedentary but my art keeps me occupied and fulfilled. My studio is total chaos because I fluctuate back and forth between clay and jewelry and like to have everything available at all times. About every 3 months I have to do a major reorganization when I can no longer find anything and when it becomes too hazardous to get around in here! I'm doing 3 more sales this summer as well so I have everything ready to go for them.I wanted to include a picture but can't figure out how to add it to my comments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06575401642213900349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-11299077434740623902015-07-03T13:09:14.238-04:002015-07-03T13:09:14.238-04:00I have a whole room to myself which is one of the...I have a whole room to myself which is one of the advantages of an empty nest. I have tables on every wall with lots of shelving. And it's still a mess! But have space for my kiln, all my enameling and fused glass supplies, a metal working area and some space for art work, too. It is my happy place and I spend time there every day.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175921037585169420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-82470268284145444272015-07-03T12:48:21.934-04:002015-07-03T12:48:21.934-04:00Well - I hope to have a WIP to show you in person,...Well - I hope to have a WIP to show you in person, my dear!
