Just finished putting my new Art Station together and am I a happy girl...! W O W..., :D
Everything a creative girl could want all at her fingertips.
I've been moving things around lately and realized that I needed a different place to store and work on my creations. The spare room wasn't doing it for me, never really had... So I decided to finally turn the spare room into a "room". I was a bit out of sorts trying to figure out where I would put my creative supplies in doing this but I knew there would be and answer....somewhere. I decided to sleep on it. It was definitely a necessary process, the room needed to have a bed for guests and also a place for my boyfriend to play his guitar. I also never found myself in it making anything, I always came out to the living room where there's more light and energy.
The next morning I knew that I was on the hunt for a piece of furniture to store my supplies. I thought at first that I would buy a dresser and make it look more like the rest of the bedroom. My boyfriend had some better ideas! He said that he thought that it would be a good idea to have somewhere to sit and create...hmm, I liked this idea, a lot. We went out that morning to IKEA and looked around to find the above cubicle unit and desk attachment..and chair..and canvas boxes to fill the cubicles.
We decided to set it up in a corner of the living room, a place where I could be a part of the rest of the family. That would be my boyfriend Mario and my kitty Sophia. Now I can sit down and write my blog, draw out my ideas, cut out my patterns, make my dolls and all the many possibilities that creativity can bring. In the living room........ where there's more light, more energy and more living.
On my list of creative ventures; a binding for my meditation mat, a pillow cover for the pillow insert I bought while at IKEA! You cant get out of there with just your initial ideas! Its impossible, really impossible, especially if you're addicted to the place like I am. I also have an idea for a heated mat that I'm going to put together for Sophia.
I know you're saying to yourself, you live in the dessert, why does your cat need a heated mat?! Once you acclimate it becomes necessary like I would never have believed, I'm still completely confused on this. When I first moved here I would look at others and say "why are they wearing boots?, why are they in coats?, and who needs a scarf?" It didn't seem possible to have your blood thin so much that you would ever want to put on warm clothing in the "The Sunshine" state, but I did this winter. I bought a pair of boots and a fleece jacket, broke out the scarves and even found my gloves! One year and I look like I've been here all my life.
Ok, I've veered from my list. So on my list I have a few other projects as well.....of course more fairies. I just looked at the time and realized that its now Midnight...off to bed until tomorrow.
talk to you then,
Michelle
