My Super Tiny Studio!


So it has taken me longer to blog about my super tiny studio space than it took to create my studio space. I must say having Murphy blood and getting somethings done quickly is awesome.

I mentioned to John that I wanted to do this, I am very lucky that he understands my craziness, and his response was ok as if it would happen one day.

I mentioned to my mom that I wanted to do this and 2 days later she was here with a desk, organizing things and ready to help.

5 hours the first day and 3 hours the next, 8 bags of useless clothes to donate and my super tiny studio was done! I couldn't believe it! I have been working there now for a few weeks and it's amazing how much more I can get done when I don't have to shove everything away when Kennedy wakes up from her nap.

What do you think???

Life with a Toddler!

Alright, so my timing is off.

I said in my last post that I would be posting and starting up my Esty shop with in the week. Well I obviously have not figure out to set goals with an 18 month old in the house.

So a month and a half later IT'S DONE!!!! I just decided to fore go the house work, took all the photographs and wrote the descriptions during nap time and just finished posting this evening. In the future, I think it will be easier to post, if I do a few pieces at a time and not 19 (note to self).

So the other totally crazy thing I have been thinking about, and I believe I have decided to do, is to create a "art/studio space" in my closet. Currently I work at the dining room table during nap time and have to put everything away when Kennedy wakes up. This isn't working and is frustrating. I think if I take the doors off my side of the closet, put in a little desk and some shelves it could be really nice.

I wonder what John will think. He will probably think I am crazy, but what else is new. We will see what happens!

My first post


Hello Friends-
Today I decided to actually start my blog; over a year and a half ago I "started" this blog, but with a new baby, life and life it has taken me this long to actually do something here. So here it is.

I am going to chat about my life at home with a one and a half year old and how I can actually get creative. My head is swarming with creative ideas (finally) and now it's all about finding the time to actually do it.

One thing I have been doing is sewing for my "Vintage Princess by pop and sparkle" line of baby clothes that I will be posting on etsy this week. The picture above is of 'the girls' in the park wearing a few of the pieces.

Another of my adventures, of the moment, is to start a design consulting business. I have ten years of experience designing furniture, kitchens, bathroom vanities, private libraries, and entertainment cabinetry for other companies, so I think it's time to venture out on my own.

Now how I am going to take care of my husband, child, cat, home, be creative and be an entrepreneur I don't know. I think I will be able to do it. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

xoxo-
