you just don't make stuff as much when it is a complete hassle to uncover your supplies from their multiple stashed locations in cabinets & under couches & beds, & even when you get it all out in the open you have about 2 square feet of working space.... i'm not saying i can't create unless all circumstances are ideal...just that i find laying all my supplies for a project out on my new big table & leaving them there for a few days while i tweak a design or mull over a project is more conducive to ingenuity & inspiration. for me, at least.
anyway, last night i spent a couple hours organizing buttons (nerd!) & finally unpacking all my piles of vintage fabrics & paper scraps & yarn & spools of wire & findings & packing materials & laptop & printer & sewing machine & much much more that i could not believe was all actually somehow contained in our trailer. (my sweet hubby, he never complained about the skeins of yarn that were constantly rolling off their stack under the table & ending up underfoot, or the fact that no more than 2 people could ever sit at our kitchen table cause half the benches were taken up by bins of buttons & findings & my sewing machine was hidden underneath the table....) i also worked on some new earrings (they'll be available on etsy tomorrow!), messed around with some new ideas, & then--get this--i left off in the middle of it & didn't pack anything away!! reckless, i know. but it didn't get in the way of breakfast, because i have a workshop now!
yeah. so i'm just really excited about that, & all the fabulous new creations that are going to come out of my new workshop & the freedom that comes with it. maybe i'll post some pictures tomorrow. who knows. maybe i'll just make a mess. a mess full of potential.
alright, enough gushing. i'm off to list some new items on etsy!
