My Birthday Gifts


I got two lovely books, Graced by Lace and Julia Cameron's Women, from my boys, I love Julia Cameron's photos, she was so ahead of her time. Some of the images are haunting. See the ones above. My DH bought me new studio furniture and set it all up for me yesterday, except for my sewing table. We went to Ikea, I am really pleased with what I got, but it really takes hours to collect it, get it home, and build it.

I went with a solid wood desk, cherry red and lime green accents. It's a fun color theme and is uplifting. I worked on emptying about half of my boxes last night, going to bed around 2am! I was so excited to have my little art space again. I now have to get the rest of the boxes up to two flights of stairs and emptied this weekend and I will be ready to play again! I have so much stuff to sell on EBay. I really have purged and thrown tons out, ready for a fresh start.

This weekend I want to get some material in green and red, that is funky, to cover my caulk board. I really like this one by Amy Butler, but I would have to mail order it because there are no local shops that sell her line :-(



Or maybe this one, again by Amy Butler, which is more red and lime green, with a hint of girly pink - nice when you are in a household of all men!








I will try and take some photos this weekend of my work in progress. I have put lots of thing in labelled boxes this time, so I don't have as much stuff on my desk all the time. I think this may work out good for me, and the baby can't get into too much trouble in there.
