HOWEVER... hopefully things will be looking up for me soon, me and my partner have finally moved back into our own place, however it isn't a homely home it is a nice City Centre apartment with on suite which i really can't complain at!! I have spent the last week keeping myself busy by sorting through my spare bedroom of messiness! Where ever we have ever lived, if we have had a spare bedroom this has been my domain, where all my 'messy' stuff is kept, like my Art equipment, sewing machine, knitting machines, past projects i have done, collections of fabrics and basically to my partner...my 'baggage' - apparently i come with lots of baggage!. But he knows he is not aloud in there or to touch any of it as although it may look like junk to him, none of it is junk to me and all of it can be recycled and reused.
BUT.. like i say i am not one for organisation and so things are basically shoved in lots of different carrier bags and boxes, none of which are in any kind of order, i had balls of yarn in the same boxes as drawing pencils and collections of fabrics with stuffed bears and my collections of fancy papers with SHOES of all things. A lot of it is to do with all the moving we have had to do (that's what i put it down to anyway.)
Anyways, we have a friend who is temporarily moving into our spare bedroom and so i had no choice but to sort through it and move everything out of there, which gave me the chance to sort through it all anyway which i had been meaning to do for months anyway. It has taken along time but now everything is in order and i have boxes full of magazines and research books. A bag specifically for my yarns and needles etc, near enough a SACK for my fabric supply and a box devoted to my Art supplies. It is amazing at how compact it all is now and instead of it taking up a full room it is now compressed into my walk in wardrobe. It is also impressive with how much rubbish i actually did have, i finally parted with 2 bin bags full of rubbish. However the problem i don't like with everything been in my wardrobe is that i have to pull things out as and when i want them, which is probably going to mean its not all going to be tidy and in order for long, i want my own studio where i can leave my machines out and not have to go get them every time i need to use something. I suppose everyone would ideally like a studio and probably most people actually DON'T have a studio.
The point i am getting to anyways (i always seem to go off track with whatever I'm doing!) is that whilst sorting through everything i managed to find things that i had forgotten i had and i began to get ideas of things to be creating and designing as i was finding certain fabrics and certain images etc, so hopefully i can get my boots into gear and get cracking with some work. I have so many good ideas in my head however like i said i don't feel i am good enough to put these ideas into action however hopefully things are on the up from this point onwards, i have decided to force my self into motivation!!
I am in the process of setting up an Etsy account at the moment and i am aiming to have some products on it in time for Valentines day, even if it is about 2 weeks away!! i can always put them on sale afterwards. If not my next goal is Easter!
