Deep in the depths


We are back down in the freezing cold zone again.  But the sun is shining.  :}  These wee lambs don't mind the cold at all and are up for fun and games.  Early evening they begin to pack and play follow the leader.

I've started digging and sorting in my playroom closet.  I've been on the lookout for a few books I know I never gave away.  lol

Then I have tweaked the rolling carts a bit which means shuffling the contents for easy access.  It is all good and I am once again getting rid of stuff I won't use.  I wish I could do this once and for all but getting rid of stuff I spent my $$$ on is always painful so I need to wait for some of the 'ouch' to subside before I can release it with a fair thee well, go bless somebody else!  ;^)

The basic work stations stay the same but as I work at them I am always amazed that I can improve my efficiency.  I am also making some sort of progress.  Two applique drawers are now condensed to one.  Of course, some of my supplies are now beside my bedroom chair.  But I am making some forward motion.  :)

I like the concept of making parts with scraps that are left over.  Again, I need to have a system in place and handy for Mini to work on. This also reduces all those leftover bits that take up so much room.

I also decided that this would work for my journals.  I sent lots of printed deli paper and watercolour paper through my die cutter.  These will be useful for mixed media art.  The white tub in the second photo has bits for scrapbooking.  I plan to go through it every month and what I don't have a use for I'll throw away.  It is called 'stuff control'! 
 
Creativity isn't just about 'art'.  It is a way of life.
