the studio

the air is full of ideas

they are knocking you in the head all the time

you only have to know what you want

then forget about it

and go about your business

suddenly

the idea will come through

it was there all the time

Henry Ford

I wonder ...

what can you tell about a person by looking at their work space?

where they create?

It has been said

"... extraordinary women pay attention to the details of their work spaces

making sure that they surround themselves with visually stimulating inspiration

and unique organizational systems"

via

hummm... made me step back and examine my "studio"

I call this organized clutter

it's kind of how I think though

lots of stuff roaming around in my head

little pockets of ideas here and there

I create best when surrounded by things I love

thus you see many old photos around

fun treasures I have gathered

my dad made me my cool fabric shelves

and wooden drawers

I love baskets

or as a friend of ours said as he was helping 

load our belongings into the moving truck 

earlier this year

.. lots and lots of "wickery"

indeed!

my gram painted the daisy and clover picture

truly a treasure

every creative space should have a pin board

enthusiasm 

is excitement with 

inspiration

motivation

and a pinch of creativity

Bo Bennett

stashes of awesome fabric

just begging to be transformed

imagination 

is the beginning of creation

you imagine what you desire

you will what you imagine 

and at last

you create what you will

George Bernard Shaw

I am not a "frilly" girly girl

but I love lace .. especially old crochet 

and tatting

I keep this reminder right next to my sewing machine

it's a classic by Susan Mrosek at Pondering Pool

its a bit hard to read

is says

"The abduction was clean and swift.

I never knew what took me.

I'm still waiting my return."

so true • so true

What's in your think space?
