A Cozy Home - Introducing My New Scented Trivets

A few years ago I was making scented trivets.  The design was simple, and they were full of an aromatic spicy blend.  The scent has lasted a long time in the few I kept for myself, these are over 5 years!  I enjoy them so much, I decided to start making them again.  But I wanted to create something a little different, with textile designs.  I came up with the covers.  Not only does this make them washable,  but I can decorate each one with a unique textile art design.

I have created several designs over the past month, but this one is my favorite.  It reminds me of childhood, both whimsical and fun.  I think of playing outside during the cooler months, then running into my cozy home to get warm.  These little homes certainly look cozy!

A Studio Tour

It was about a year ago that we put our house up for sale, in hopes of finding something just for our family.  I realized since our move I had not taken the time to organize my craft space.  It needed to be personalized to make it my little creative space.  This little corner is in our living room.  Of course I dream of an entire attic space where I can fill all of my craft supplies and tools, but this will do.  So here is a tour.  Enjoy!

 The corner of our living room.

 This is my son's old dresser, it is now fabric storage!

 One of my old watercolors to display, bright colors to inspire.

The vintage blue ball jars are great for storing my button collection.

The small shelf is used for my works in progress.
