The studio is my sacred-get-my-head-right-space. It's the place I find solace and energy. However over the past year it had become my not-so-sacred-space.
My corners will filled with "GUILT" and "I'd-rather-be-doing" projects. I liked to keep projects out as a reminder that they needed to be done, but since clearly that didn't work..... I dug in and cleaned every corner. I boxed up each of my cherished projects so when I did bring them out it would have my full attention. And I made me honey-do-list. It's made up of projects I really want to work on. That is now a electronic sticky on my computer rather than a flappy one stuck to my computer screen. Hopefully that carries less guilt.
I am also finding homes for the tools, fabric or patterns I haven't used. My feeling is they need to be used and loved properly.
Now that the studio is cleaned up I took pictures to remind me of what I want it to look like. Non-Chaotic. If I don't want chaos in my head why should I have it out front of me.

So happy to have my cutting table free of debris. After all I might as well use it as a cutting table and not a filing system. |
My office is a part of my studio and it was looking pretty crap-tastic. Yes that is a word I am submitting to Webster's. If LOL and selfie can make it I strongly think crap-tastic should be included. On the left is a homemade calendar/journal. I love that I have my computer calendar because it syncs with all my other devices. But this I can have to doodle or write a word for the day on. Writing a word for how the day went can really be cathartic.
So that's my studio confession. I'll let you know if I kept my focus and the chaos at arms length.
