A tour through my studio.........................

 I have been cleaning today and I was looking for an excuse to take a break..............hence the tour through my studio.

When I moved from my big house to my small house, I decided I WOULD have a studio---no matter what!  I needed to be organized, so I bought these wonderful stacked drawers to put all my tools in......I got 4 of them and really could use another.  They are a beautiful honey colored wood and they sit on casters that lock if you want them locked.  They are wonderful!

don't you love my thread drawers---here is my machine embroidery thread...

and more thread............I actually have 5 drawers of thread.

This drawer contains some of my art supplies............

This stack contains more art supplies.......brushes, misc. tools, art papers.............
