Where Women Create

 

I have some exciting news to share with you, my friends. My craft room is featured in the current issue of Where Women Create! Even as I hold it here in my hands, it's still a little hard to believe. It's strange to see your own face in a magazine. And it's strange to think about the creative journey I've been on for a lifetime that has lead to this moment. Amazing. I'm just a girl who likes to make things, and not all that much has changed, but I definitely feel like I'm out of my league to be among the women whose spaces have been featured in this magazine.

I remember purchasing Where Women Create {the book}several years ago and reading it cover to cover, feeling endlessly inspired. Then came the magazine. I gobbled up the first issue and have done the same with every issue since, like many of you probably have as well. What a fabulous idea to create a book and a magazine that's all about the places where women create!

 

Well, the new issue just hit newsstands {there's the cover, above}, and I have a couple of extra copies I'd love to give away. If you're interested, just leave a comment {name and email is sufficient} and I'll do the old random number generator and pick 2 lucky girls' names on Thursday.

Here's to all of us who have even a little corner of a kitchen table to create upon.....or maybe a closet, a loft, a spare room, a studio, a basement, or even an entire building. As different as we may be, we share the same passion to create. It's an absolute honor to share my space with you, through this publication. And I wish you could all come over and share a cup of hot cocoa with me. Extra marshmallows!

And a gigantic thank you to Jo Packham and Jenny Doh, who saw my space and believed it would, in some way, inspire readers and add something positive to this issue. I'm so grateful.

Big Congratulations Andrea. I remember seeing the pictures of your studio on your blog and studying all the little details- everything was so pretty. But two things made it even more inspiring- that you said it wasn't usually that neat, and Karla had said your studio was just a regular room in your house- not a huge remodeled basement or a loft over the garage or a seperate building. It made me realize that its not the size of the space, its how you use it. Thanks for all the inspiration!
