New Button Boutique Stamp Set from Papertrey Ink


I am in love with this stamp set.  It is sew much fun!  So many ways to use it.  My sister in law Robin and I had a play date on Sunday and spent hours creating with it. Here are some of the pretties. Some of them will be listed in my Etsy shop. I used a vintage library pocket to hold the button card....plus a yo-yo of course!

Where this woman creates

Painted sewing cabinet and recovered the chair


This is my sewing/craft space. It use to be my daughters bedroom. I have always loved the wallpaper in there and decided to leave it when I wanted a sewing room.  It is a sweet rose vine print with a  black and pink border.  I painted my sewing cabinet white, recovered the chair and added a few storage pieces. I found the black bookcase unit at a thrift store. It holds most of my button collection, books and storage boxes. These photos were taken right after I finished the remodel....it hasn't looked this good since!  I can only stand the clutter so long and then I have to straighten it up again.  I love having a pretty place to create!

This is a filing cabinet that I covered. It has velcro at the sides and holds my Christmas supplies.

Scrapbook area and day bed
Got this at Hobby Lobby, holds fabric

Cutting table

Bookshelf for my buttons
Fabric closet and a vinyl shoe rack that I store trims in.
