Avalanche!

I am that girl you will want to slap for not putting cd's away in their cases. 

Whilst cleaning (more like sweeping and finding places to hide things inconspicuously) I discovered that probably 80% of my space is overtaken by a zillion cd's, crates and boxes and shelves of records and a bazillion books. So nice of me to work so hard to keep a roof over these inanimate things and not have room to paint hardly. Aren't I so kind?
I have a bad habit of being way too busy to do much in the way of domestic upkeep and the mountain of things has grown....not hoarders style mind you- but not pretty either. NOT PRETTY AT ALL! So i am enacting a plan, every day at least 3 useless things gets put where it will be used by someone else or to the trash if its trash. Like really, why am I holding on to the "bug catching cup" from Taco Cabana? To catch bugs obviously. 
Last week my "closet" ( a tiny narrow sliver that must have been where a water heater once was because NO ONE can get into this weirdly designed thing) collapsed under the weight of vintage dresses that I hardly ever wear. Oh Spring Cleaning, how I hate thee....mainly because I don't have time for thee. So, trying to get it together in my little nest while juggling everything else. Its Friday and the interview will be happening RIGHT after work. My studio is what it is. An Artists Studio. Boxes of this and that and tins of tools and glasses holding brushes and things stacked on shelves and no surface space and.....breathe....it makes sense to me. Sorta.
Happy Friday have a great weekend!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
