Teaser….! Can you guess what this is? LOL! I just wanted to share a sneak peek and show ya that I have actually been crafting this week! My studio is an absolute pigsty right now… I’ve got to run some errands, but I will be back later to show you what this is! Inky Smiles! Erin
So now we’ve made it through the details of how I organize and function in this space… here’s the full reveal of my creative space. I know, I know… how long have I been promising it?? {I hereby pinky swear to never promise anything on a time schedule ever again…. } This is a wonky, odd shaped, small space that I share with the family office at the bottom of the stairs in the corner of the basement. {Ok, mostly…
I’m so sorry for the delay in posting. I got rather busy with work, the business, getting the yard in shape, the garden ready for planting (and some planting done), and life in general. I wanted to show you how I organize my stuff that’s “out in the open” in my bookshelf and in my desk. I have plans drawn up for a really cool big, red bookshelf to replace the small brown Sauder one that’s currently in the space….
{Forgive me if my typing is a little wonky.. I just got back from the eye dr and my eyes are still numb… I will try to catch all my spelling errors and typos…. lol!} I have this rather big closet at one end of my studio. It’s a 4x4x8’ space that Brent built shelves in several years ago. For the longest time it was just a “holding place” cram packed with schtuff. I couldn’t find anything in the closet….
I graduated the Inspiration Phase: I learned what inspired me and I began to gather up my inspiration ideas and was ready to put it all together and organize it. So when I sat down to tackle this huge task I decided that my old organization methods weren’t really working and that not everything was going to make it back to my creative space. And thus the many moons of sorting and purging began. {Have you ever seen Clean Sweep?}…
How cool is this??? My friend asked me to help with her Prom stuff, dress alterations and her Prom PHOTOGRAPHY. We had so much fun one Saturday night sitting up till the wee hours of the morning with Corinna, her mom, and little sister cutting apart the sleeves and altering her dress. We had some crazy laughs. Poor Corinna had the hardest time using the seam ripper to remove the sleeves. She just did not want to take that dress…
I am FINALLY getting around to sharing the revamp of my studio. It’s been a long time in the making. We’ve had countless interruptions… and let’s face it.. in the big scheme of things the studio has been the last thing on my mind (but always on my mind) to finish, share, etc. I’m finally buckling down and editing a zillion pics and writing it up. I will share the Studio Tour in several pieces… we’ll tackle this elephant one…
Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get a break? That the world is full of obstacles, doing it’s “darndest” to keep you from accomplishing your dreams? Do you still dream? I read this fantastic story about this lady who I am sure you all have already heard about… Susan Boyle… the “big surprise” on BBC’s “Britain’s Got Talent 2009”. Wow. Talk about AMAZING. AND THEN I WATCHED THIS… <img src="https://www.mycreativeescape.com/wp-content/uploads/video26241afa80cc5B35D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none;" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('be5d1728-a6f6-432d-90d2-b12d45fee0c4'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML…
Do you ever feel like you just have gobs on your plate? Last week was one of those weeks. I feel like I just needed to take a break and eat the elephant one bite at a time. I still have gobs to get done this week, but I can at least see the bottom of my plate if I push some things to the edges… WAHOO! I’m drowning in backing up photos so we can clean off that naughty…
“A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.” —Earl Nightingale (1921-1989), entrepreneur, motivational author In this economy and these scary times, I think it’s good to check our attitudes and see where we stand. It’s tough times for a lot of people, but I truly feel that we have to “think positive” and attract positive…
