I've been very busy the past few weeks with several things, including inspiration for a new project. Although school started last week, we were once again enjoying a fun weekend on the go; which including motorcycle riding, swimming, sunning and live music.
This week though, due to my work in the Artful Success program, I was very motivated and inspired to get to work on my newest project; upgrading my studio/office space. I'm now concentrating on completing a room remodel we started months ago. This will give me some elbow room to make very special work for very special people - doing what I love to do best!
Originally, it was to be a master bedroom; however, this program has caused me to think about some things. Last week I decided it will be completed sooner than planned and used as my studio/office until our larger garage-slash-workshop can be built. Since moving, I have been cramped into a small spare bedroom; I was used to a large studio space with plenty of storage. I really have been frustrated with it, and was avoiding the room altogether much of the time. This has affected my creative production. Also, I cannot stay organized because there is no storage. I have plastic tubs everywhere and dig through them to find things. That makes more chaos and mess to clean up, and it's just a vicious cycle. It feels very claustrophobic.
Therefore, I decided to temporarily claim the "master bedroom". I have now ordered the materials and hired a contractor to complete the job. I can move my workshop into that room, install storage units and get organized again. This will be a breath of fresh air; literally, because I'll have two large windows for cross-ventilation of fumes.
I'm also working on restructuring my business, changing the name, and revising all my websites over the next few months; that story to be continued. For now, I have much work to do preparing the new studio for business and creating new work. I'll post more pictures about the new studio as it progresses over the next month. I'm so excited about it all!
