Moving In!!!!
After long months of patiently waiting I am ecstatic to be officially moving into my studio space TODAY!
Movers will be at my home bright and early to start moving furniture and boxes.
This gorgeous historic home will be like my second little home where I can play, dream and create.
Just like my children have a big playroom…this little slice of heaven will be mine.
Walls are painted and floors refinished.
My little munchkins were giddy to be hanging out at Mom's new place. It's cool, new, and exciting!
Vivi twirled and danced around the empty space.
Grant however was too busy playing Angry Birds and refused to watch his little sister.
I did some last minute tidying up and hanging the last set of crystals on the chandelier.
To my surprise when my children saw me with Windex and paper towels cleaning the windows they both eagerly wanted to help me clean.
I gave them each a paper towel and they both got busy.
It was really cute to watch.
You can tell from their faces they cracked no smiles and took the job seriously!
Sometimes it meant standing on tippy toes and jumping in the air to get the high spots. hee! hee!
(notice Grant is in midair.)
The room is like a blank canvas and waiting to breathe life with color, materials, fabrics, and pictures.
I've accumulated tons of craft supplies, art, collectables, and gifts. There is several boxes to be unpacked. So with that being said, I've decided Im going to take my time and not rush the process. I want to enjoy setting everything up in it's right place, and for once becoming super organized.
Im still pinching myself that I lucked out finding the perfect space to call my own. A place to be creatively inspired and a place at the end of the day I can turn off the lights, shut the door, and leave the glittery chaotic mess behind. 🙂
Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to move I go!

Jenn, I can’t wait to see the transformation as I know it will be stunning! Everything you do always is!!!! Have fun & keep the photos coming. I am anxious for you to tell me what you think about having the studio away from the house. I have thought of this but, then I wonder… will I be able to do what I want when I want… you know those times that you run in to create while still in my jammies. HUGS!

Jenn you are truly living the dream that so many of us have….. having our own big separate studio space. I cant wait to see what you do with this blank canvas, enjoy and savor the moment!
Have a ball setting everything up – looks absolutely amazing, and I can tell it will be soooo you! Hugs – xo Heidi
OH Jenn!!! It’s such a gorgeous space!! I LOVE that amazing chandelier and the blue ceiling! I’m so very happy for you!!! I can’t wait to see it when it’s all finished!!
Hugs,
Michelle
Gorgeous space Jenn! I can’t wait to see how you put your stamp on it! Love you!
That is a dream! a beautiful space to work and create, cant wait to see it all set up. I’m thrilled for you Jenn, enjoy it.
How exciting! You are going to have an amazing time in your new space.

Penny
Its beautiful! You will surely have a blast adding your own personal touch to it.
Oh Gorgeous!! I understand why you are excited. The kids are adorable!! I love that window cleaning actually beat a game of angry birds, lol.
Have fun, Jannet
Happy Space playing Jenn. WOnderful to have your own studio to be able to create. You’re so darn good at all of that. You really are.
Now about those swaps. I’m not much of a swap gal. So do these swaps all happen at one time? At different times? I’m not sure how all this works other than the hostess picking names for each other. If I don’t participate will I be out in left field? I know Claudia isn’t crafty, nor is Jeanne and Deborah, so I’m not sure, but I thought we were going to swap in our foursome group. No theme, just know what we all love. I hope that’s ok Jenn, I’m feeling bad not knowing what was involved.
Please email me if you can. Thanks sweet Jenn.
Happy June 1st.

This space is gorgeous! What a perfect place to dream and create. Good luck with the decorating. Enjoy every second of it! Very happy for you. I love your blog. Thanks for the inspiration : )
OMG! Your studio is already beautiful! Love all the windows, and that gorgeous chandelier!
With your two wonderful helpers, it shouldn’t take much time at all to be moved in. They’re adorable!!
I am so excited for you, Jen! I was wondering when this space might make its appearance again in your blog! I eagerly anticipate the revealing of the fully decorated space. Oh, and that chandelier is wow-worthy. So sweet to see your kids wanting to be helpers.
I’m so happy for you, this is just gorgeous!
Hi Jen!
Just wanted to say congrats on your new studio!
I recently discovered your blog and it has been so inspiring! Not only with your gorgeous home and artwork, but with your sunny outlook on life! I’m not an especially “crafty” person but you inspired me to do some painting and pick up the glue gun! 🙂
I live in a tiny (prob about the size of your studio) city apartment but I have been trying to make it eye candy!
Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see what you do with your new space!

What a beautiful place to unleash your creative genius!! It’s fabulous!
And those 2 littles are just to die for!!
Jennifer! I am so excited for you that you have your OWN space that you can create in –
and yes, close the door to the mess and being able to walk away. This is my very dream –
to have a place to go to, undistracted from the haps at home (laundry, dishes, cleaning)
and be able to create with ease. Way to go!
Enjoy your gorgeous space!
hugs,
Becky
ps: Vivian and Grant – you are super helpers! You rock! tee hee! hugs…
Wow Jenn, it looks beautiful already! I love the sky blue ceiling, can’t wait to see what you do to the space and what wonderful eye candy you create in it!
xo, Jen
Oh My Gosh!!!!! I can not wait to see the finished room!!!!! You will make it a showcase of beauty!!
Congratulations! What a lovely space. It reminds me of our first apt in Boston (I loved that apt!). Can’t wait to see the pretty new things you make in this inspiring space!
hugs,
~Marilee

My computer blew up and I had to get a new one. Which meant I lost all of my favourite blogs and have had to trawl around trying to find them. Then I thought ‘google, you idiot’ so I did and that’s how I found you again! :O)
Love the Bumble Bee. When my little Miss V saw your little Miss V dressed as a bee, she went off and got her bee dressing up outfit! Congratulations to your little ballerina, she looked beautiful.
Congratulations on your anniversary, your photos were fabulous.
And how much do I love your space to create? It’s perfect, and that chandelier is just divine.Love it.
so glad to have found you again and had a catch up.
Enjoy your new creating space!

Sandy 🙂
Wow, just gorgeous! You’re so lucky to have found it! Can’t wait to see it all decorated! BTW, my kids love to wash windows, too. I need to take advantage of that more often, since they’re the reason for most of the fingerprints!
