This week in my studio—so far…

My Grandmother’s funky purse from the 60s.  It needs some repair.

I like my space messy and yet, having a few clean horizontal surfaces feels like big progress.

My son, Ellis helped me clean the studio today to earn the change from a $20 on our coffee run.  I think he got a pretty awesome hourly rate.

I always find that when I am in the mood to clean and sort my studio and it brings me joy instead of dread that it’s good for me creatively.  It means that I am making room for new possibilities.  A little extra real estate.  A clean surface with a sketch book and pencil on it just makes me swoon.  I don’t know exactly what is coming next, but 5 bags of garbage and 2 bags of recycling out the door is a great way to start a new year.
