Creative Space



So, this is the area I have carved out for myself. Originally it had a small couch there, a second little sitting area in an extension at the back of the house that hardly ever got used.

I was amazed at how much space there was if we just really thought about how we really used it and could it be better used. Sometimes I like to just go in and see the mess that is on the table, signs that things are being created, perhaps run my hands over the art supplies that are out and smile, this is my space!
