I'm going to a new blog party on this wintry day

As I've typed before I co-host parties for the Etsy Cottage Style Blog. I have belonged to the Etsy Cottage Style Group for a long while.

It is a varied mix of those who love and/or create vintage, country, and shabby chic interiors, art, and crafts, and most have Etsy Shops. The people I have met there are so creative and talented..they have inspired me.
This week's linky party is................................

To join in on the party or just to visit the 'Craft Room's' go HERE

Now if you are lucky enough to have a room dedicated to your creative passion..I am in awe. My Hubby reminded me that it was probably a room created by a husband out of fear and frustration. The 'stuff' grows..takes over whole table tops...LoL... swallows a room if allowed.  We will not remind Hubby of the 'Man Cave', but to continue, I do have a Craft Closet and a little wall space adjoining it.....no... no pics today. I'm one of 'those' people who knows where something is, but someone else would run screaming...think Fibber McGhee and Molly's front closet..not quite that bad, but............
I will show you where I sometimes create like here.................................................................

 In nice weather you'd find me on my rocker on the kitchen porch above or my porch swing on our front deck, below

Sometimes I'm in the kitchen

Or more likely, in the dining room with lots of light and a large surface....see why Hubby says it takes over....hehehe.

 I must admit embroidery can be done anywhere, which is why I like it soooo much. I have even  been known to embroider projects while riding  in the van 8/
 Lately I find my laptop is a place I have been creating. I am not into scrapbooking, but I do like paper and vintage images. You all that create mixed  media paper designs are awesome....someday I hope to try my hand at mixed media paper and textiles for little journals...anyway....I was the recipient of a giveaway over at  Daniella Hayes....Layers of Creativity weeks ago and received a wonderful software program for Digital Scrapbooking. I have been playing with the program for a while and find it so much fun!!! In a future post I'll have more info and a surprise, but for now let me show you  just a little of what I've created.......

Well, that's it for now. I think I'll go listen to a little vintage radio show here on my side bar or maybe watch a little vintage TV also on my sidebar.....just click on either button, grab a seat, and join me!
