And I don't feel constrained with "I said I would finish X today but I'd rather do Y" - with the 20 hours I give myself the freedom to work on anything. Plus my record of those 20 hours is something my accountant strongly recommends if I ever get audited - as proof I am working consistently on my art business. Patty - wow - you make my work look like a walk in the park. Congrats on tackling a huge house project. Amber - thank you. Hm - patience - or maybe insanity! Becky - I think the more time I spend in my studio the more ideas I have. It's not about some divine inspiration it's about hard work. The more you work - the more you are inspired. Tracy - glad to know I'm not the only mom that eventually thinks it's best to now know what they are up to. It often involves ropes and objects that might not generally be seen on a play structure . That is not something I want to watch. Lesly - yes it is amazing how motivating a bit of reorganization can be. I love being down in the new clean studio. Jafabrit - thanks - I love your work also! Shan - funny - swingsets - the universal mom-artist studio view.

My kids are four and six so my studio is currently set up to provide a clear view of our swingset. I had to laugh when I saw your former view. I love mine (and am very thankful for it) but it's nice to see there are uncluttered views ahead of me as well! Lovely studio and view.

(is it?) And the view is delightful. It feels so good when you have a good old clear out and re-arrange things, doesn't it? You must be all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ready to GO!

It looks so nice and tidy and organized. And I totally cracked up when you said that you don't want to see what's going on outside with the kids! I am at that point as well. I have rigged up all kinds of different ways to move really heavy, stupid things in my studio over the years. Seems I always get in the mood to rearrange when the husband is out of town.

I can relate trying to move things that weigh that much when you are by yourself - dragging is the only option and is still hard. Regardless, your setup looks wonderful. I spent all weekend save Thursday in my studio. I got a lot done and the ideas are coming faster than I have time to work. That's a good thing as I'm being reviewed by the graduate committee on Thursday. Its been really interesting using plastics such as vinyl and mylar in my work instead of fabric.

BUT that was after getting started on insulating the attic (YUK!), cleaning out 40 years of crud - not mine - under the interior steps so I could insulate water pipes, which led in to a lot of house cleaning. To say the least, I only got about 8 hours of sewing done over the holiday, but the house is in good shape for now. I have to try not to make too much of a mess when I have to finish my attic insulation next weekend.

I've rearranged a few things in my studio as well, but it still looks like a bucket of paint exploded. Counting the hours spent there is a very diciplined way to work... I should try it.
