WHERE YOU CREATE with Deborah Stout

Brrrrrrr…winter has arrived in Alberta! I don’t think we have been totalling singled out, but I know there are lots of places in Canada I’d rather be at the moment! ‘Tis the season to hunker in and stay warm; that often equates to more time in our craft rooms. There could be worse evils!

While we dream of more time in our own rooms, let’s go inside Deborah’s space to see where she creates!

Here is my crafty space!

I work from home and my real work is on the other side of this room. I must say I spend too much time on the work side and not enough on the craft side! Ha ha. The desk is an antique library table from my dad’s family.

Thanks Deborah for sharing your work & creative space with us. Some really great storage ideas can be found if you spend time looking into the pictures! I must say I would have a hard time working at home from this room….I’d want to jump ship and go to the creative side!
