tucked away in the corner of my bedroom last month |
There was a brief time, when we moved into the new house, I had an entire room with a door. The closet and shelves and desk were all mine for sewing and painting. [See my pretty portrait in the sidebar?] Oddly it was a year between projects and so I didn't really use it much. And then again things changed, John started working from home, and sometime later we needed another nursery.
So I've been using my table top easel here (bedroom?) and there (kitchen table?) for the last few months. As the new year begins and I am trying to devote myself to a new project. Oh, I'm so easily distracted. So a new space is in order.
Our loft has been used for nothing but lego-land for months since we're doing school downstairs. I think lego-land, when kept tidy, might just be an inspiring place to work. My giant crocodile and the girls paintings adorn the space, making it a pretty happy place. So, I've carved out a corner for my old sewing table with the desktop easel nested on top (drawings courtesy of little ones). My own little attic atelier.

Happy New Year, friends! May your projects be full of joy and success!

I love that word. First time I heard it was when I worked in a Reggio-Emilia inspired pre-school. Art can be made anywhere (that is wonderful!), but it is nice to have a neat space to store your supplies. Happy new year to you, too.
