seems as though everyone is doing it...




tidying up the studio



organizing all the bits



putting everything back in its place



freshening up



ready to get back to creating
...how about you?

  2. It rather does seem that way to me too.
    It's a great way to re-familiarize myself with all of my goodies too. I even started a collage with some random bits that placed themselves in front of me while I was cleaning up.

  4. Oh yes - been sifting, sorting and tidying all year, only to mess it up again and again! I suspect that's the nature of teh business - or rather, maybe it's the nature of me!

  11. The studio looks FAB Lisa and wouldn't I love to dig in that "trinket" box! Must be the New Year, after all the rush with the holidays we're motivated to feel new and fresh. I hope YOUR holidays were simply marvelous!

  13. Tidying and organizing - one of my favorite things to do...over and over; this time I am carrying a tape recorder to tell myself where I put things.
    Your studio is ever so beautiful. Love your little friend with the floppy ears. Hugs, Joanna B

  16. Your studio is looking good Lisa. Perhaps I would feel more motivated if my work space was as organized as yours. You've planted the seed, so.... I'll think about it for a while :-)

  18. Love your space- so very uncluttered !!! How can you do what you do with all of teh fabulous bits and not ahvve them all over the place???? I have finally got the tree down and that is a huge step. Eldest's 19th B-day is tomorrow- just baked a butter cake from scratch and I am prepping for teaching some classes and readying things for shows. National Show deadline at FCCA a week from Friday- YOU SHOULD ENTER ONE OF YOUR FABULOUS PIECES!!!!!!!
    I would love to show your work off in Fredericksburg!! I would take excellent care of it!!!!!

  20. What a great way to get through winter! Ha ha. You're right tho - I've just done it myself (and we're in summer!). Wonderful to be given such a rare but fabulous tour of your studio though, Lisa! I even felt a bit voyeristic!!

  22. Oh no, I think I may be the only one NOT doing it! And boy do I need to. I literally have bits and pieces all over the floor in my studio from my last project! But you have inspired me to roll up my sleeves and get started. Tomorrow.
    Your studio is SO beautiful, btw. I just love all of the vintage pieces mixed with your work. :-)
