In The Studio - Wednesday

Hello there!! The organizing, sorting, purging "event" continues!

I've been having a good time rediscovering all the bits and bobs I've got in my space here. That overwhelmed feeling I had before I started has been replaced with feelings of great joy. I feel completely grateful to have so much at my disposal whenever the muse wants to play. All of these beautiful colors, now slightly more organized, show me exactly how blessed I am.

Here's some fun photos of just a small section of what I've managed to sort through so far.






I have lots of colors here to keep me happy. I noticed I've gotten quite a few jars of blue and green combos so far and I've really only touched the surface. Some pieces are quite small, using tweezers to pick them up and place in the jars became a little too tedious for me. I actually did toss some very small pieces away.

The broken china is only a small sample shown here; I have bins and boxes filled. No complaints. I'm so fortunate!! At some point, when I can organize them the way I'd like, I should be able to share what I have with others. That will be awesome!

More Time Away From It All

Organizing the space around me has become really important to me. I'm also doing some organizing on the websites I use in which to sell my art. What does this means to you all who look for weekly blog posts and promos from the shops? You won't see any, or not much of anything, until I am happy with my surroundings. I'll be checking in a few times a week here on my page just to say hello. Look for all activities to start again around March or April. I'm excited to get through the sorting of glass and other bits and bobs to make creating mosaics as easy as possible in a small space. Finding my surroundings to be inspiring is most important to me as well.

I had to share a few photos while the sun is shining of my living space. The green shelves will be the new home for all the sorted glass, etc, once I'm finished. Aren't those vintage cookie jars cool? They will get listed some time this year. I love what I do!



I should mention here, as sort of a promo blast! that my shop on Society6 had some decent purchases at the end of the year in 2015. In order to keep the good vibes going, I shared one last photo on the site on the last day of the year that I'd like to share here.

Wish On A Star
And to end the post here, I thought I'd share some of my Christmas presents I received this year. Scarves and coloring books! It's nice to know those who love me want to keep me warm and inspired.
