D and I were feeling a bit lacklustre today, and after some discussion in the cubbyhole we decided that as creative peeps, when we aren’t being creative in a regular sort of way the sheen can go off everything in life, a bit. And since we got back from our Exotic Travels neither of us has done much in that direction, so not much sheeniness.
So, inspired by Leah’s Art Every Day Month which I took part in recently, we are committing between the two of us to do something creative every day for the next thirty days, starting tomorrow. But that does necessitate a space to work in that is clear and safe to navigate. Since neither of us has this currently, this evening we made a pact to clear our respective studios in readiness for tomorrow, aka Day 1. Including before and after photos.
We’ve been each other’s accountability buddies since we met, and it is definitely time to reinstate that, as it fell away a bit but was very effective, so I have blitzed my stude and at least now I can see surfaces and where things are. There’s plenty of stuff in here that I doubt I’ll ever use, and at some stage I’ll do a second blitz to get rid of that, but for now I feel ready to rock tomorrow.

It’s just occurred to me that I could have made a nice collage of these photos instead of clumsily lining them up on after the other. Oh well.
Nicely done! A place for everything, and everything in it’s place! Happy creating!
We shall see! (I really shouldn’t be so skeptical about my own plan!)
oooooohhh…i love looking at other people’s creative spaces. i’m a voyeur like that….
moste excellente tidying….you will undoubtedly have great fun making a mess of it again!!
xo
I totally had not foreseen the part where it becomes a mess again. I will super really try. Like I always do.
I like looking in other people’s creative spaces too, especially when they’re messy. (Comforting.) And people’s homes in general actually. Like your writing areas and your living room. 🙂
good on you both! fancy having your own live-in accountability person. lol excellent.
liking those spice racks to hold paint tubes too.
I know! The spice racks are from Ikea and were a very rare moment of total genius on my part. I could do with a few more though…
Technically not live-in (that could be too much!), but with the wonders of Whats App we can keep a close eye on each other! 😉
Ooooh good job. Now, could you come and sort out my workspace. There’s piles of stuff everywhere. Thanks 🙂
As long as by ‘sort out’ you mean ‘move things around and squash things away out of sight’, totes.
