Holiday-Studio-Tour_0030

Oh my goodness, what a great time my open studio was! It was part of a holiday studio tour I did with four other artists this past Sunday. I got a few pictures taken before it started, they aren’t the best, but I thought I’d show you how I turned my living and dining rooms…

Wondrously Organized Storage in my Garage!

Garage-Storage-4

It should not be a surprise, but as my business grows, my storage shrinks! I’ve done a series of de-cluttering and clearing out of unneeded supplies, and through the years I’ve narrowed in on how I like to work in my studio, storing items and supplies most often needed in the easy to reach places,…

One Moment: Being Organized is a Process, not a Product

yikes

So, although it isn’t always this clean, this is how my desk usually looks: …and…this is how my desk has been looking this week: Yup, my computer woes continue. Now, I’ve been freaked out about this…but not as much as I COULD be. Why? Wonder hubby understands this stuff. He’s built this computer for me…

It never rains, but it pours! MORE good news!

I got something really awesome in my email in-box Monday afternoon, and it was a total surprise: A final proof of an article I wrote about my studio, to be published in the Summer issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors Studios. I had submitted a couple of pix and a quick description to them last Fall,…

A Simple Way to Improve an Organized Drawer

Improved-organization-2

Motivation has been lacking this week. Faithful readers will know that my university has been going through some tough times. Our president resigned a bit over a week ago, and our previous president (who retired from us 5 years ago) has stepped in as interim. This is hopeful because he’s brought the University through some…

Busy Day

I spent several hours today meeting with the 3 other members of the operating board for an art show we’re planning for november. We started “Artists for a Cause” about 2 years ago, with the intention of donating 20% of our proceeds to a local Redlands charity each year. Our 1st year we were a…

Finished & Ready for Creating!

It’s done! I’m all moved in and it is gorgeous! Yes, I know how lucky I am! Beyond the general de-cluttering, the only real change in here (besides the new floor & baseboards) was swapping out the mirrored sliding closet doors with these simple white curtains I made from some white cotton twill. Our house…
