Last week I spent an entire day cleaning up and cleaning out my studio. It turned out to be one of the best things I could possibly do. Since then, I've had a hard time keeping myself out of there and, since the family's still getting fed and hasn't had to start recycling clothes from the bottom of the laundry basket, I'd call that a good thing.
I loaded up boxes of fabric and papers that I'll never get around to using to put away for a future project I've had on my mind lately. One involving a coffee shop, an art studio, and the church. So much still unknown, but it feels good to dream.
The journals are moving right along. Whispering tempting new ideas to me every day. I could work on these forever. How many hours is too many to put into one book?
what do you do with them when you are done with them?

Its amazing how a bit of a clean up can inspire you. Every time i "clean up " one of stashes (Insert scrapbooking / yarn / embroidery) i end up starting a new project..... Looking forward to seeing the outcome of your creativity!

these are beautiful!! and i know what you mean about wanting to work on them forever...no two are ever the same and it's always so much fun seeing how each one turns out. also, i always find things that i've forgotten about when i clean my studio and that always gets me off and running onto new projects. again gorgeous work (as usual) and thanks for sharing it with us.

Your journals are beautiful, and your coffee shop/art studio is such a great idea; one that I have thought of myself! Keep dreaming and good luck :)
