New Space to create
So I decided to take one of the four bedrooms we have, the smallest near the stairs and a bathroom, and turned it into an area that I can call my craft room. I have a TON of color in my house so to do a white with a green tint color called Wisdom, with an accent color called Silver Setting, was a bit interesting for me. It's kinda hard to see the "colors" but it's there and I like it! The pics above, first before then after, shows the closet by the window which I plan to keep the doors off and leave open. The back of the closet is painted with the Silver Setting, as well as another wall in the room. The main walls were painted with the Wisdom. (Behr paints, worth the $) In the end keeping along the white color scheme will allow the colors I work with pop as well as taking pictures of items to post in my Etsy store. Natural light comes in through the window that faces East and gets decent sunlight up until late afternoon. Now to figure out where to put a 6ft table, sewing table, ironing board, and a few other things. This is exciting and fun! Here's another view of the finished room with the other accent wall. And yes I painted the back of the door leaving the white outlining the squares...LOL:

Wine Charms
I have fun making unique wine charms; something different and unusual. These are along those lines, and I adore them! The glass beads were handmade by GypsyFlame. Bright colors with white polka dots...they look so juicy! I decided to caged them and placed two spacers on the hoop for a simple accent. Fun to make, and soon you can purchase them in my Etsy Shop: http://www.thecraftywino.etsy.com .
