Kick Start

Well, I had an unexpected kick start to my creative side last night. I got home to find the latest copy of Cloth Paper Scissors Studios waiting for me.

As usual I flicked through and was immediately envious all all the "lucky people" with their perfect creative space. Then I read one article where the person said you had to claim your space and not let it become the family dumping ground. And suddenly it clicked. It is my studio. It is up to me to get it how I want it. No one else uses the space. If it looks like a working organised area the others will be less lilely to dump rubbish in there (basic and obvious I know but sometimes the most obvious things are the hardest to see).

So, I will get that space sorted. OK, it is not a huge room with lots of lovely natural light flooding in but it is a better space than many people have (and the new light fittings are being installed on Tuesday).

But it is a mess at the moment. The shelves and storage cupboards are fine. Everything has a box and the boxes are labelled ad placed neatly. But the work surface looks like a bomb has hit it. Why have I got bottles of massage oils in there? They should be in the bathroom.

I will also reclaim my workchair from the nextdoor office where it has been "borrowed". If the family want a chair in there they can go and buy one. I did!

So the worm has turned. I will embrace my obsessive organising side and set a few hours aside to clear the clutter. If it isn't cluttered maybe there will be space for the creativity to flow better. I do feel stifled!

Yay, here's to the new improved me.

I'll let ya know if it works.
