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.
