And how wonderful to be able to have other artists nearby for inspiration. I would die to have your slat wall, but alas! can only admire it, since I don't have a free wall.

How lovely that you have a space with others who are also pursuing their art. It must be very stimulating and empowering! Stop by and see my little studio on the tour if you haven't already. We can share a virtual cup of tea. Really fun to see your studio on the tour! How lovely that you have a space with others who are also pursuing their art. It must be very stimulating and empowering!

Yes, the IKEA plastic bag holders are great because not only can you mount them on the wall and still see what's in them (or even squeeze something out from the bottom of one), but if you're working on a project with multiple colors, you can put all the balls into one and run individual strands out the top -- no tangling! My friend Cecily (http://www.suchsweethands.com) and I first bought a ton of them when we were teaching at Maker Faire (I called her from IKEA and said "hey, do you think these would work?")! Next goal: to get more of my yarn that's at home up to the studio...I've still got several bins of it in my home studio but locking it away from the cats means I always forget what I have. Also, for the record, Lori is welcome to the studio anytime and not just because she brings homemade peanut butter cookies. :) Hi Amy & everyone!

What a great idea. My smaller, more chaotic collection of yarn is stuffed into a deep Elfa drawer in my studio and it's constantly trying to stage a jail break. Thanks for sharing your studio and good luck with your RL open studio event! Amy I love the IKEA plastic bag holders for the yarn storage! What a great idea.

Such wonderful light from that huge window, lots of space to spread out, and all kinds of other creative people to play with. I'm really jealous of her huge cutting table.

So I guess the thing to say is - well-earned!
