Seems appropriate for a Friday the 13th. 🙂 My confession – My studio is beyond a mess. 🙁
A year ago I realized that my studio needed some serious attention. Despite working toward that goal, I’ve failed in that, but have a renewed push toward that direction.
Recently I’ve been going through my yarns, realizing that many of them = especially the cheaper varieties, were purchased for specific reasons that just aren’t going to happen — hair for “tribaret” or tribal dance costumes, for example. So I’ve started giving it away. I’m keeping the sock yarn – I still knit socks! And the yarn for one or two specific projects. I also haven’t decided what to do with the undyed lace yarn. I may skein it and dye it for embroidery. It’s very thin crewel-like.
But last week I came home with my dream drawing table — the one I’ve wanted for 20 years. And realized that although I’ve gone through SOME of the yarn, and the studio was usable for a while, it needs a concerted effort to turn it into a place of business. And that’s really what it needs to be. So LOTS more weeding to do – it’s now unusable entirely because of this! – and some serious rebuilding. First step – get the air conditioning fixed up there – it’s been unusable in the heatwave for the last three weeks, just on the basis of temperature.

- Believe it or not, this is where the drawing table is going…
Good to know I’m not the only one who hasn’t got organised yet! I’ll try if you will!
Well, you made me feel not so bad – that I’m not the only one! But I feel a tad guilty about reminding you of all the stuff you have already to make some sun printing!!
Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting on the ALMBD list.
Hee hee. Don’t feel guilty about reminding me about things I have. I love sun printing, and love using it in my work. I think it’s time to do a bit of playing in an area of the house that isn’t the studio! 🙂
