Spring Cleaning

Every time this year I get the "Urge to Purge".  All year long, I come across things I love but have no use for and I put  aside in a crate. Before you know it I have crates shoved in all corners of my house and I know Spring is coming because I have enough stuff for a yard sale.  I really scrutinize my crates before they become official for the sale.  It has to be something I really didnt miss all year or something I cant deconstruct and upcycle  for my Etsy Shop.  This time I have a specific goal and this yard sale has a duel purpose: First I get to clean out all my closets and draws and do some serious Spring Cleaning, and I will be giving my Art Studio, a long overdue, make over.  Right now my Studio is in my finished basement, so its not so bad, but it has taken over the whole area, which used to be my kids space.  As they grew older, there space trimmed down and mine grew larger and slowly I took over every last corner.  Although I did leave an area for my son, JoJo, some he can use his play station, yet some days he does need to seperate the clothes on the clothes rack so he can see the TV on the other side  :  )

I KNOW...WHAT A MESS



Each time I would rearrange a room, which is frequent, a piece of furniture ended up in  the basement and it quickly get consumed with either fabric, hardware, salvaged moldings or jewelry.  Thats basically how my area grew.  Well now its all cluttered and Im determined to give My Studio a more clean lined feel, so I can find my things more easily.  Ive been having an "Artists Block" and alittle rearranging is exactly what I need to rejuvenate my creativity.  So until I get that huge barn in my yard thats all my own space, you know the kind you see in magazines, this revamp will have to do, and its gonna be fab....Ill keep you posted with pics...
