It is few and far between when I can post anymore.
I am at my Mother in-law's right now checking email etc and I received an email from my dear friend Tracy Roos with a sneak peek of my Christmas present!!!
Observe the gorgeous silver cream and sugar bowls!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?????? Every time we get together (as she lives in OR) we antique shop and I am always searching for the most unique and beautiful creamer and sugar bowls as I collect them! I think she may have found my favorite so far! :) Thank you SO much Tracy!!!!!! So sweet of you to think of me!!! I miss you and we need to get together soon!
I joined a "Round Robin"/Altered book/Journal collaboration via Mixed Media Collage Artists. We will fill an engagement calendar passing it on for each month. I am so excited for this!
Usually I am one to procrastinate and put things off right before their due date but I started mine the other day (due to be passed on to the next participant by the 26th of Jan).. YEAH.. good for me!!! A big part of me starting early is because I have no Internet access. I go to my studio and all I have is ART so that is what I do! This NO Internet has actually been a good thing for me because I am able to do the "task at hand" and not be interrupted or distracted by eBay/emails and just surfing for no reason!
So apparently I need to limit my Internet time when I enter my studio because I am loosing precious creating time. I am thinking... set a timer and give myself 30 min. to check and respond to email and when the 30 minutes is up.. then no more.. it's just time to create! (just an idea)... I think that when I organize myself down in my basement I will set up a whole separate area for my computer.. right now it's on my desk that I create at... so I think I just need to move it to a separate area.
OH how I wish I could hire someone to come in and help me organize my space/studio in my basement!!! I have the room, I am just totally disorganized and it drives me NUTS! Inside I am this totally organized person and when things are in disarray I get irritated,, but most of the time I can't muster up the energy or time to get things in order! Maybe this will be one of my many New Years resolutions .... to get my studio space fun, organized, and pretty!!! I envy those who have new homes and have walls they can paint, and outlets galore, and windows, and walls they can hang art on,, etc etc etc.... There has to be a way to make an unfinished basement look somewhat pretty or fun...????
I just had to tell you that I have a little sugar and creamer JUST like this one - isn't it great! ... I tend to collect more creamers than sets, but collect I do! Love your artwork also which is the reason I'm here in the first place! thanks, Karen :)
