It’s super organized and pretty!  You can do any kind of craft in this large space…and invite your friends to join you. :)

Jamie and her husband created something amazing!  Here’s a little taste of what a dream craft room can look like…

Do you want to move next to Jamie now and bake her cookies so you can play in her craft room?

Vintage pillowcases in a yellow bird cage…just beautiful!

hoops

Wow, wow, and wow!  I’m so jealous of the typewriter because I’ve been wanting one for awhile…in that color.  The embroidery hoops with vintage fabric are perfect!  Markers & such are displayed beautifully and ready to use.

sewing table

I love, love, love all the ruffles here and just wait until you see how Jamie finished the top of her sewing table.  You’ll need to visit Raising Up Rubies to see this cool idea!
