Where Bloggers Create

Karen, at My Desert Cottage is hosting a "Where Bloggers Create" party. I hadn't planned on participating as my studio's a fright and haven't gotten around to organizing it. Today Steve and I motored up to Nevada City to tootle around. He had the rest of the week off after our camping trip (another blog post soon). Anyhoo, we popped in at my favorite shop there, called
My Favorite Things. We hadn't been there since December and since then Tina, the owner, has opened up a studio in the back and holds craft classes back there. Not only that, but for a mere $5 you can craft anytime (well, when she's open) to your heart's content! She invited me to take a look and I was so thrilled to have my camera! Tina's a blogger, too, so this entry counts (I hope!)
You can click on any picture to enlarge it....






















These are sample of the crafts she offers to teach.
Stay tuned for pictures of her fabulous store! Thanks, Tina for letting me use your studio to participate at the Where Bloggers Create Party!!

  1. Hello my friend,
    There is nothing better than a great space to work. This one was wonderful.
    Now where is yours darlin?
    If you are anything like me mine was a disaster until today. Now it just looks like company is coming.
    I look forward to you visit.

  5. What a wonderful space! How nice that she lets others have a chance to work there. By the way, my husband and I were married in Nevada City almost 11 years ago. We got married at the old hotel and had a horse-drawn carriage ride around the town. I love it there!
