Yes, it's Wednesday. And, yes, I don't have a new Etsy Space for the second week. I have several people who pledged pics for upcoming spaces and then I don't hear back. Most of them are really busy and I totally get that and don't blame them in the least for not having time this week or next, etc. I don't want to nag them, either, so, I'm still waiting.
In the meantime, I will post links to other blogs with studio spaces up that I happen upon. Check this out on the infamous Modish site - Handmade Spaces. Fabulous work spaces, I must say.

Featured Space #12 - Little Daisy Chains
Beck from Little Daisy Chains says:
My space used to be in the corner of our living room it was a desk, a chair and lots of boxes of supplies under, on top and all around!! It got to the point where it was difficult for me to fill my orders. I couldn't find anything. Not only that but when guests would come over I would be embarrassed because of the mess. It was time to get organized.
My husband and I brain stormed and decided it would work for all if we moved my little crafty corner to the dining room. Still looked funky http://www.flickr.com/photos/69561650@N00/2170869290/ and still not so organized. After more talking and quite a few trips to IKEA, Storables and Target my space is now a workable studio and I love every minute of it!
I use the bookshelf from IKEA to keep a majority of my supplies and shipping materials. I use my desk to create, imagine and hold my tools. I have an awesome crafty shelf for ribbons and such and the storage area I use for even more supplies and display type goodies. I'm pretty sure I could open up a craft store. ;O)

Featured Space #11 - Apple Blossom Designs
April from Apple Blossom Designs says:
My space began as a table crammed into a bay window in my master bedroom.Then one afternoon, I was looking at my girls' unused playroom and the light bulb went off. Why should I be crammed and have limited work and storage space when there is a perfectly good space that isn't really being used for anything but toy storage. So we went through all the toys and moved what was left into bedrooms and I started moving my stuff in! WOW! What a difference! It's so nice to be able to move! And if I want to work late at night my husband doesn't have to sleep on the couch! I kept the small table and chairs in the space so the girls' could "play beads with mommy".
