Today I engaged in one of my favorite kinds of procrastination...cleaning and organizing my workspace. There was a time when I didn't even have a workspace, and then I used my lack of space in which to work as a procrastination tool. As I was putting together a new cube of shelves to house the thing which cooks the clay (for some reason the word toaster oven doesn't seem right) I realized that my guest room that I squeezed workspace into has finally turned into a studio that I squeezed a bed into! I think I now have every thing I need to make a doll all residing in one room! I'm so excited! NOW I can work. I swear! No really! For real this time I promise! :)
Of course I had to catch a few pictures with my phone, just to remember what it looks like when it's clean.

Hi June! Thanks, you are right I think a candy store is a good description! I find that it's really important for me to be inspired by the space I am in and to be able to SEE my supplies right in front of me. If things are hidden away too much I forget I have them!
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice to meet you.
P.S. I see you are from Santa Cruz, and I had to say my heart lives in Santa Cruz even if my body is not able to at the moment. Some day!
