I see someone is getting a wood floor somewhere! And the view from the window is beautiful! Teresa,it takes time to get rid of our mother's things. Keep what is extra special, even if it makes no sense. It will bring you smiles when you are an old woman.

The studio is looking awesome. I had to do the same with my parents things. I guess I finally realized I don't need those "things" to remember them? They are in my heart ❤️ and I still miss them so much.

Don't be nervous. We're artists! And what are we good at? Adapting and learning to thrive in new places and things!

Here's a little peek into the new studio. Looks small, right? It is. Especially compared to my old studio. Yeah, I'm a little nervous about it, but on the other hand, I'm supper excited about why we are moving (to be close to daughter, son-in-law, and new grandson). Besides, this is a fantastic opportunity to thin out clutter and breathe fresh ideas into my space.
When my mother died 15 years ago, I saved every little thing that we bonded over. For instance, we shared many --- many --- hours talking about crochet & sewing. Crochet was one of the things we shared that made me feel like not just her daughter, but her friend. So when she died I kept almost every pattern, fabric & yarn stash, notions, and unfinished works she had. Over the last 15 years, I've incorporated some of it into my own tools, but I still have things I will never use. I knew at the time it was silly to keep them, but I still couldn't let them go. Now I'm ready. It's time to cherish the things I truly cherish and shed the things that weigh me down.
The amount of light this room gets makes me feel joyful and creative. Outside this window there are a few rolling hills off in the distance and we have a resident turkey that lurks about in the back yard. He hasn't come up to welcome us yet, but I can't help but think he is bound to be the source of a good story one day.
