The past 2 months have been a blur of business. I have not had time to work on any skirts either, so I am now 2 skirts behind. I have the patterns, material acquired, just have not had the time to work on them. I haven’t been unproductive though. I was asked to make paper rose bouquets for a friend’s wedding. I’m very pleased with how they turned out. I just didn’t think it would take as long as it did. That is probably be due to all the in between travel taking away from my creative time.

I finally finished yesterday. I have a much less cluttered and more organized art space. In the past several months, I have gotten rid of at least 50% of the stuff I had been collecting and hoarding. It feels good. I’ll go back in a year and re-assess. There are some things I still held onto, but if I haven’t touched them in the next year, out they go.
I’d like to do a purging of my more personal/sentimental stuff. Is it wrong I want to keep the castle collection from my grandmother, even though I currently have no place to display them? I’ll work on this dilemma later. For now, I’m going to enjoy my victory and my new art space.
