Ahhh... there's nothing like a weekend retreat...

What a marvelous weekend! I was at a retreat with my dearest friends and got lots of cards made, got lots of inspiration, and laughed so much I am amazed I didn't pee myself!!! I am still in "creative mode" and am getting ready to open a shop on Etsy to sell my creations!

Lots more progress in the studio!

I have been nibbling away, a box at a time, a drawer at a time, and now the studio is 75% finished. The furniture is all in place, and there are some more boxes to go through. And an entire closet of boxes to go through. This room now calls to me every time I walk by, and I have started my creative endeavors again. The change in the feel of the space makes me feel so peaceful and free...

Another step accomplished!

Here is the result of the second day of organizing. One of my goals was to be able to sit and craft with friends in my room. Thanks to the new floor plan, this has been accomplished. I am happy to say that after another 2 hours (broken up into half hours), this is how the space looks now!

Things I got rid of:

old magazines, let's face it, almost everything can be found on the internet, why store it?

The kimono - it sat on the back of the door for years, never worn.

Ahh, the freedom of less clutter, I always thought people were exaggerating, and now I see how really freeing it is. I feel as though I have lost weight, physically and emotionally!
