This Studio is Clean!!

I should be getting ready for my show on the 1st, so how do I spend my week?
Cleaning and organizing my studios of course!!

I spent a good portion of this week cleaning and rearranging my studio. I realised that I have a whole lotta stuff crammed in to a tiny space. I went to the Goodwill Outlet (Yes, OUTLET) lovingly called "the bins" here in Portland because, well, everything in in large bins . I found a small storage cupboard and a wooden trunk. I repainted them both and upholstered the top of the trunk.
I spent a total of 15.00 for the furniture, sandpaper, paint, fabric and new draw pull. Woo Hoo!

The new cupboard, The super large window , My Sewing table

My Designing/cutting table, The closet and new trunk under all of the toys.

So now that I am all cleaned, organized and have it recorded. I will promptly mess it all up and cover the floor with faux fur scraps and bits of yarn.

Say Hello to My Little Friends!

I have been on a tiny toy kick lately. These are some of the lil' weirdos I sent out to The Sampler this past June.

I am currently working on tiny version of my mermaids and of course Mark is out of town for work and he happened to take the camera, so I will have to post pictures of the tiny maids next weekend.

Today I had a great day I went to Scrap. It is a great place that sells just about anything craft related most of it is recycled and they have great prices. I purchased some wool tapestry thread for doll hair, a really cool wall sample, it is basically a square piece for foam covered in a nice dark blue linen and some great stickers that say Thank You. I am going to use these on orders I send out and on my receipts at shows.

Speaking of Shows....

I just realised that the Etsy Beach Show is in less than 2 weeks and I have sent most of my Imaginary Friends and Mermaids to Seattle for Bumbershoot. The Friends and Mermaids will be a part of the I Heart Rummage Booth.
I guess I should get on the ball and lock myself in my studio for the next few days.

Next Post I promise will be full of photos. But so not to disappoint here are a couple shots of the Friends and a Mermaid that are on their way to Seattle without me and hopefully to a new home!!

I think it is time to invest in a camera of my very own.
