The wide angle view. There are days I would like to repaint....and then reality sets in. I had a sagey green color in mind but for some reason this is the paint I got. When the house was built the studio was an outdoor porch with half cement walls. Sometime in the first two years the porch was closed in with wood paneling and a tin roof. The cement took a lot of paint and I decided that repainting was not going to happen. It's grown on me and there are other house projects that will take precedent...maybe someday. This was the first space we tackled when we moved in six years ago now. It was truly ugly with band aid color paint, a 1970's linoleum floor, dark wood paneling and lattice work in the openings you see here. It was truly horrible and now it is a light filled space where I spend most of my days.
But on to the important things. Last week I told you about the new Master Class book Beaded Fantasies.
It seems that I have an extra copy. Would you like it? Just leave me a comment between now and midnight tonight PST. Tomorrow sometime I'll use the random number generator and pick a winner. Now I'll be traveling all day tomorrow, so no promises on the timing...but check back Wednesday or Thursday to see if that winner is you.

I would like the extra copy of Sabine's book. Hope I win
What a generous offer! I'd love it.
Thanks for offering this. I would gladly take it off your hands.
I have plans to buy this book--I love Sabine's patterns and have quite a few of them. I'll wait until you announce who wins before purchasing!! Maybe I will be real lucky--hope, hope!!
That's very thoughtful of you. I would love a copy of Sabine's book. :)
I am so jealous of your studio! Even when it's creatively messy I bet it's nice. Great giveaway, but you can count me out since my copy is already purchased and will be on its way soon.
That would be so great, I'm really looking forward to this book!
... what a wonderful idea!
I no, I have studio-envy! And if you're up for shipping to the UK I'd love to be randomly considered for Sabine's lovely book :)
I need a new beading book. You never can have enough
How wonderful.....you do have a great workspace....
I would be thrilled to add this book to my collection.
What a beautiful space. I'm envious! Thank you for offering up your extra copy of the book.
I would love to have her book, I think she is fantastic
I haven't yet see this publication & have been eagerly awaiting it !
You are a very generous beader, Miss Marcia!
See you soon!
I would love a copy - thanks so much. Your studio space is awesome - I am jealous but in a good way!!!!
OK-I could have it as well,Marcia :-)
Though I have prepaid it on Amazon com. and still waiting for the results-I could have it from You,'cause I can hardly wait to see,what's inside:-)
Hugs-Halinka-
Looks like a great book. I have all the rest of the Master Class Books so I would love to have this one also.
I aspect of the release of this book for months .... today is my birthday ... maybe "Lady Luck" will make me a present.
I love your studio. I would also love a copy of Sabine's book. I have been a fan of her designs for a long while and have been looking forward to seeing her designs in print.
I think the green is pretty! Please enter me. I would love a copy of this book!
Ooooh, pick me! :-)
(Love your studio, by the way - all those windows are wonderful!)
total studio envy! :) I'd also love the book, but I imagine shipping it outside the 'States would be a costly endeavour! However, if Jane was lucky enough to win this giveaway I'd promise to drool into a bib and wear gloves so I didn't put grubby fingermarks on it whilst begging a looky :D I'd return the favour Jane! ;)
As a great fan of Sabine Lipperts work, I pre-ordered her new book, and I hope I'll receive my copy soon ;-)
So I don't join your give away, but I want to say that it's very generous of you Marcia.
Warm greetings,
Petra
If Lesley wins I hope the book could travel to the upcoming retreat so we can all pore over it with gloves and bibs. Obviously if I win I will share with my buddies too! Until their ordered
copies arrive, and for UK beaders I'm not sure when that is!
Please pop me into the draw if you are allowing UK entries we have a few months to wait over here think amazon.UK is saying June or July so I'd love to get it early, I love lark books including yours marcia (wink wink nudge nudge)

I would really love your extra copy. Not for myself, as I have already ordered one, but for my friend Melissa Ingram as a fit to her.
Such a lovely light-filled studio...you lucky girl!
Yes, I would love a copy! Love the studio space. Sounds like it was a labor of love as well.
Safe travels, Marcia....
Hello Marcia, what a wonderful studio! I'd love to win this copy. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway! I'm writing from Germany and I hope I have a chance to win.
I like the green color - it reminds me of spring! Or maybe I like it because it's spring right now? Hmm...
Sabine's book is on my to-get list; I need to add it to my collection of Master Class books :)
Such a light, bright studio! I'm envious...
Your willingness to share/giveaway extra items is so much fun for those of us who follow your work! Thank you!
Wow! I just ordered this book yesterday. But I know who I can give it to. Put my name in the pot.
I would LOVE a chance at this book!
Hi Marcia,
I am a great fan of your blog! To win Sabine´s book would be nice!

I think your studio is the epitome of you. It is airy and light and that is how you always seem to me. I giggle when you post how frustrated you are with one project or another, but I always know that the end result will be fabulous, as always.
Cheri George
Oh, only to have a copy of Sabine's beautiful book to add to my Master Class collection!!!

Oh me! Please pick me!! I'd love to win Sabine's book!!
I envy your studio. Some day, I will have a beading place of my own, for now it's the coffee table when the kids (and cat) are asleep. Would love, love, love to win this book, especially since I was born and raised in Germany, moved to the USA and haven't been back in over 15 years. Thanks for being so generous!
I would love to own this book. Thanks for the offer. Your studio is lovely.
Hi Marcia

Oh, yes, please enter me in this one! I've been in "economy mode" and haven't been able to order it yet . . .
Oh, oh, oh, pick me, pick me (waving hands frantically). I love Sabine's patterns. I have her first book in German and have this one on my wishlist.
I have made several of Sabine's rings from her pattern on Etsy. I am sure her new book is Fab.
I have admired her work for a long time and an opportunity to get her book would make my day, week, month and year. Thank you for the opportunity.
Yes! I can't wait to see this book! I plan on ordering it soon. :)
Oh, my! How generous! I would absolutely LOVE a copy of this book--it could take its place on the shelf next to yours, Sherry's, Rachel's, Laura's, and Diane's! They're ready for a new friend!
How nice of you to share! Please random number thingy pick me!
What a generous giveaway, thank you. I'd love to enter if you're letting us UKers take part.

Hi Marcia,

Lovely studio. If I lived closer I would volunteer to keep your studio "up" for one lesson a month. At least then I could see how you arrive at the beautiful colors that you put together all of the time.

I would love to have a studio like that one day as of right now I do most of my beading sitting on my bed :). I would love to be entered to win the beading book, thank you for the opportunity :)
Happy Beading,
Jessica
Very kind of you to share! That book will be happier in sunny Caribbean : Puerto Rico.
i would LOVE this book- i am a huge fan of both of you!
I'm thrilled at your generous giveaway! Have to toss my name in the hat as well. Sabine is such a talent, I can only imagine how great this book is.
If you haven't chosen a winner yet, please add me to the list...I'd love to have it! :)
I enjoy your blog and look forward to reading it everyday. I look forward to your new book and Sabine's as well. Keep up the great bead work! Karen Iwazaki
Holding my hair in the air, jumping up and down yelling PICK ME!
Throw my name into the hat for this giveaway. What a generous gift for a very lucky reader!
On a different note, I have to tell you that I absolutely LOVE your studio space! Mine is much smaller and is not nearly as pretty... it *WAS* built to order for a genuine Swiss watchmaker, though! See, the house was previously owned by... well... you guessed it ;)
Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this giveaway. See you around! <3
I'd love a copy!
This is a wonderful gift. I love your studio all that natural light must be great when you work with seed beads. Your a lucky woman
My life seems to be someone else's fantasy. Now I would really like to have one of my own. Thank you in advance, Ruth
Oh, me please, me please! I love Sabine's work and keep trying desperately to get to one of her classes but timings never seem to work out (boo!). Maybe BBTB next year... in the meantime, I'd really enjoy reading, re-reading and working through her book!
I know it's a work space for you Marcia but it's still an amazing space with lots of light. All your shots of it make me want to clear out our storage room (even though it's only about 6 by 6!).
Would love to be entered into your draw if you are happy to ship abroad. This book is already on my wish list but won't be out here for some time yet.
Thanks for the give-away! This looks like a wonderful book!
Michelle
I hope i'm still in time to enter for the book. I'd really love to have it. Thanks for your generous offer.

I would love the book. I have pre-ordered a copy and will re-gift mine when it arrives. You could just bring it with you to New Hampshire - I'll see you Friday.
Karen

Lovely! I do not have this one yet! Add my name to your list, please!

I'd love a copy. All the others are great books.
