About Sugar Lump Studios
I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.

Hello Nancy,
Your art studio has really turned out well! I love that you found more space for yourself. You do have a great basement though, lots of light. But I know what you mean about wanting to be around the heart of the home. Everything looks so neat and tidy. I think you have such a lovely sweet style. The bucket for the old papers is fab. And I love that scale! All your art looks perfectly displayed as well as your most treasured family heirlooms. Your family memorabilia really adds warmth and love to your space. Thanks so much for letting us peek into your drawers and cubbies!
Hugs,
Terri
I love how you incorporated your studio into your bedroom. I really need to organize in mine, and you’ve given me many awesome ideas!
What a stunning art studio you have – SO many beautiful things! I love your ideas and your love of lace and beautiful boxes, which I also share!
My post is also up – please stop by for another “Early Bird” tour!

your creative haven just speaks to my soul sisath! truly! (do i spy the original cabinet card of that sweet baby face in your header and your avatar??) wow…SO lovely! i could spend countless hours creating here! “merci” for the inspiration! this was such a pleasure! ;)
Thank you ever so much for showing me around your wonderful “wee” space. I am convinced it is not the size of our space but the creativity we engage in when in our space. Yours is beautiful and very well organized. Having your cherished family heirlooms displayed where you can enjoy them is my very favorite part of your space. Creative Hearts are Happy Hearts Dear…
Hi, Nancy. I really enjoyed looking at your creative space. Your Ikea Expedit shelving unit is awesome. What a great piece that looks good from all sides. Love all the shabby chic decor… :-)
You and your beautiful art room are so inspiring and beautiful dear Nancy.
There is so much magic that comes out of any place you decide to create something special…
I think I may need some of those Alex drawers …
might be time for a trek to Ikea…
thanks so much for sharing with so much to admire and enjoy.
Happy July dear one ♥

Hello Dear Nancy
Thank you for sharing your beautiful and well organized space with us. It is amazing how little space we need really as long as we have enough storage space. I love that you use all of your family treasures in there to remind you of your ancestry.
Now I can visualise you sitting at your work desk creating your most wonderful treasures.
Hugs and love,
Suzy
What a lovely crafting space you have :) I too craft from my bedroom and I love it, just the right size, thank you so much for sharing

Hugs Anni
I absolutely love…love…love your studio…you are very organized and it’s beautiful!
Fantstic space, I still have to load mine on my blog. hopefully tomorrow, thanks for sharing your very lovely space, I love all the pieces that have emotional attachment to them
Such a delightfully space to be creative.
Surrounded by treasures,memento’s how could one not make all the beautiful
pieces you do,and do so well.
Love the bird shelf too.I have bird cages around my studio so I can pretend it’s
spring all year.
Loved the tour,Hugs
what a positively GORGEOUS and organized space Nancy!! How could one not be creative and happy there!
Dear Nancy
What a thrill it was to step inside your “studio” and take time to absorb all the little details. Life is in the details and that is evident here with the beautiful way in which you acknowledge the love for your heritage.
Gorgeous colours throughout and so beautifully organised, that is what struck me, everything has a place. My wee nook is out of control (so lucky I can close a door on it all) but I see this and it inspires.
So enjoyed my time with you in your creative space.
Wishes
Lynne
P.S. Far too HOT at the moment. Doesn’t resemble Scotland at all lol.
Love your very sweet and charming creative space, right down to every little detail! Love your birdhouse shelf, and I thought your doll and teddy bear were especially adorable!.. Thank you for sharing! ~tina
Hello dear Nancy!
What a beautiful and lovely studio you have managed to create in your bedroom space,- so filled with beauty all around, and lovely creations of yours! It looks quite big in the photoes, but as you sau it is tiny, I must say you made a most fantaSTIC place for you to create and enjoy in! I so love your “birdhouse shelf” what a gorgeous piece ,and very special, I love birdhouses also. You are so good organized Nancy, and with place for every piece ,in drawers and beautiful decorated suitcages and boxes. I love your banner, and the sweet photo of you and your husbond!! Thankyou for inviting us into this very beautiful and creative space,-
Hugs from Dorthe.
You studio is creamy, dreamy wonderful. Thanks for sharing your special world.

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for sharing. Your studio is lovely and so organized! I hope to redo my small space in the next few weeks (other de-cluttering going on elsewhere in the house right now). I enjoyed the tour!
A very serene and pretty place to be creative!
Hi Nancy! Thank you for visiting our studio and your kind words!!!
Yes, you did indeed see a Corona typewriter. I love old typewriters but mine don’t have the wonderful history that yours does! Lucky you!!!!
I think you really did a wonderful job fitting your creative space into your bedroom!!! Love the colors – I have a similar blue and white theme in my bedroom as well!!! Such peaceful colors, I bet your creative muse is inspired by the color alone!
And Ikea?!?! Oh my GOSH! I LOVE all their storage solutions and their furniture and their small items. Yep, LOVE it ALL! I can spend a whole day in that store just wandering around. That’s where we purchased our slipcovered sofa and chairs. Best purchase ever! And I have looked at the same shelf unit – love that it can be used as a room divider AND the little drawer stack that reminds me of an architects cabinet.
Thank you for sharing your creative space! Have a great weekend!

You’ve done a great job incorporating your creative space in with your bedroom, Nancy! I love that bookcase piece. It works perfectly for storage and a “wall”. I also love all the things you have displayed on it, especially the altered books. I haven’t tried those yet, but would love to. Thanks for sharing your space!
Hi Nancy, Your creative space is gorgeous. I love all your special touches and creations. What a talent you are. Love the unit from Ikea. I am actually going there today. I would love to have one of those. Your studio is so cozy and inviting. I could spend a lot of time there and I am sure you do. Love your jar art and the darling suitcase and the music chest of little drawers. You have awesome organizing pretties. So many great ideas for storage. Thank you for sharing. Oh and I love the wall color too. So pretty with the white.
Thank you for stopping by and your kind comment. Have a great weekend.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
I had to move my stuff back down to our basement because DH did not want to see all my stuff. I would love a cute little corner like this in my bedroom.
Nancy your studio is so wonderful…I love how you store all your pretties…
hugs
Hi Nancy!
everything looks so pretty and feminine! I love it! I love how you displayed all your knick-knacks – so charming! I’m seriously considering getting that Expedit storage cabinet from IKEA :)
Your craftroom looks fantastic Nancy. I have the same cabinett from Ikea :)
Have a nice weekend
Hugs Alexandra
Don’t you just love Ikea? Now I’m thinking of Swedish meatballs and Lingon berry sauce, cinnamon buns and the big breakfast! I’m bookmarking your space for future reference. I have been dreaming of the day I can Ikea-fy by craft space. I do like a cozy spot for working on projects. If I need more space – Well the dining room table is put to work. Thank you for visiting!
A storage lover myself, I certainly appreciate the lovely shelving, bins, drawers and trays. You know what makes them beautiful? All of the keepsakes from your family and the personal touches you’ve added. What a wonderful space.
Michaele (Twigs and Tulle)
Gorgeous studio space! I love the muted colors
And how well you have everything organized.
It’s beautiful!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Your creative space is very well organized and filled with lots of goodies that hold sentimental memories which I adore!! A beautiful and efficient space indeed!!
Hugs,
Deb
Thank you for sharing your beautiful little studio, Nancy. You have made great use of a small space, and arranged it to look so adorable and cozy! I love all the sentimental family touches-so precious. We are in an apartment after selling our home last year and now are looking at buying a small 2 bedroom, (homes are very expensive where I live), and I was trying to imagine what I could do with the boxes and boxes of art supplies I have in storage. I have never really had a “studio” myself-just had all my craft stuff in a bedroom before. I will have to go to Ikea and look at their storage units. Perhaps I can get my life organized soon–you have always been a great help and inspiration to me!
Oh Nancy, your room is so lovely! Everything has a place and is so neat and orderly. I could use some lessons from you. Thanks for the tour, it was so fun!!!
You have done a remarkable job of utilizing your small space! I am really impressed with how functional and pretty, at the same time.
Thank you for visiting my little blog today and for your kind words. Enjoy the rest of the party!
Kathy
Lovely!
Where oh where do I begin……..with that great huge piece! I love how you filled all the cubbies with everything you could imagine! I really like the photo banner. I have been collecting, “ghost photos” as my husband calls them and I can never walk by a photo display without stopping. I’d love to know where you found all those bins and boxes, what a beautiful room! You did a great job Nancy!-xox-cindy
Nancy,
What a FABULOUS studio you have. It inspires me to create. I LoVe your wall color and the Altered Book that you posted. I HAVE to make myself one. I just have never taken the time.
Thank you for sharing your amazing talents!
Hi Nancy, I don’t know what was wrong but I couldn’t enter your and some other webpages for several days. I’m sure it was a problem at our side and I’m glad I can finally visit you again. You have a great studio space in your bedroom and everything is so well organized. Your storage solutions are wonderful and you’ve surrounded yourself with lots of beautiful things. Thank you for sharing!
Hugs,
Julia
I love your wee space! What a perfect example of function, beauty and organization. I think it shows just how creative you are.
Hi Nancy,
I love your creative space! You have a beautiful spot to create!
Gives me organization ideas! Have a wonderful day! XO Linda
Hi Nancy. Your creative space is beautiful. I especially like the music covered drawers. I have also just purged a lot as I prepared for my move. I agree. It felt good to share my junk with someone else! Thank you for stopping by my studio.
~Elizabeth
I like how you have used the cubby shelf to separate your bedroom and studio space. Since they are shared areas, it makes sense to have everything neat and tidy and displayed so beautifully. You’ve done a great job! Best wishes, Tammy
Hi Nancy! Out of such a “wee” space comes such “big” and beautiful art. You always inspire me. Sue
How can you create in such a mess??? Oh how I love how neat, clean and lovely your creative space is! If you saw mine, you would be floored! Of course that is if you could find floor space! Hugs!
Beautifully sweet space…. great light and I love all of your collections! Thank you so much for sharing. Take care.
It certainly does not look like a wee studio space! I really enjoyed peeking into your studio – you have a lovely creative space. and I love how you altered the Fira drawers. I could play in your studio for many hours! Cheers from Singapore. ps your cards in your most recent past are absolutely beautiful!
Wow that’s really nice what you did with your end of the room, really beautifully sorted and displayed. Love your shelving that looks like it made of old wood fencing(?) and the lights colours and more white on white sure makes the space feel airy and light. Very nice!!!
What a wonderful place you have created! I adore the birdhouse shelf – it looks like an old picket fence! I also love all the birdhouses and especially admire that you have family treasures too. Lovely space!
