Getting creatively organized...

The great thing about living in the Pacific Northwet (not a typo), besides the fact that you never have to water your lawn, is that the weather provides amble time to get organized.

My studio was in dire need of a muck out so I took the advantage of our recent foggy,  drizzly weather to delve into the mysterious recesses of my messes. I ran across many unfinished projects, many duplicate art supplies and many things I swear I did not put there? Now I can stop quietly blaming my husband for recycling some items I was missing.

Organizing my space has given me time to sort through many ideas (good and bad), mental blocks, frustrated attempts and find space when I thought there was none.

If you have a area or room that is your private creative space take some time (a rainy day is perfect) to find and organize this outward extension of your brain. It feels sooo good, kind of like sitting down to a big piece of white paper with a brand new box of 64 crayons! Ah, the possibilities...

Love your studio! I work from a spare bedroom, and my studio area is in dire need of a "muck out." Think I will take the next rainy afternoon and at least get started!

Ah, getting started is easy. Getting finished is a whole different story. Mine is 90% done all have to do now is file. I hate filing. But Elenore Roosevelt said, "You must do that which you most do not want to do" or in Nike's words "just do it".
