I thought I would bite the bullet and actually show you the space that I work in. My husband marvels that I manage to get anything at all done in here, but this, folks . . . is where the magic happens! (I also have to cook in a similarily minute space, but that's a story for another day!)
As you can see, even on my best days, I only have about a 12 inch square space to work in . . . the rest being taken up with supplies. (Acrylics, Watercolours, Ganache, Pencils, Markers, etc.) Oh and of course I save all my bits of scrap paper etc. They come in handy for all sorts, and I do love ME so her yearly calendar always has a spot where it looks down on what I am doing and hopefully giving me a thumbs up!
Music is also very present in my creation process. I have my favourites to inspire to to urge me on . . . sometimes my space is neater than this, and sometimes not. It all depends on what creative urge is taking me. Sometimes I just have to get it down onto paper as soon as I can before my inspiration leaves . . . and I know I am not alone in this. And what's on my worktop today???
Some colourful little ATC's, which I am really enjoying playing with. They're quite a lot of fun to do. Small, simple and colourful. The size of a credit card, they are also challenging.
Hope on over to the Stamping Ground to see what's on everyone else's worktop! They are such a very talented bunch!
Thanks for looking!

I love ATCs and yours are just lovely! Thanks for sharing! -Mari K. #56
At least all of your supplies are within reach. Your ATCs are adorable! Did you draw them yourself? dani39
Love your workspace and not really a lot of room to play, but who needs space when doing ATC's. Everything is at your fingertips, thats a bonus.
Happy crafting

I did do them myself Danielle. All my work is my own, I'm proud to say! Thanks for your kind comments.
I would love to swap Sheilagh! Just say the word! xxoo
You are right Sandee, not a lot of space is needed if you are a crafter at heart! Must pop on over to see your glass cutting board! Have always wanted to try stained glass.
Thanks Mari!
Thanks Eliza! You are so correct!
ME just makes the world a little sweeter Kay! She is my inspiration! Thanks for your kind words. xx
Thanks Mel!
Thanks!
Thanks Gabrielle!
Thanks Kay!
Its funny how we can work in a tiny space when we want too. I love all your copic pens. Hugs Rita xx
Your ATCs are lovely -- you're drawing/coloring them and not stamping, which to me means art. Nice job! :)
I've definitely had times when there was so much stuff on the table that I only had a small space to make the magic happen. But then I decide to make some breathing room. . . there's definitely an ebb and flow.
And I'm #151, for the record. Forgot to tack than on. :)
Fabulous ATCs, I particularly like the kite one. Gorgeous colours x
