Sunflowers

Difficult times these days…

Creating is a wonderful outlet…

These are crops from a piece I will be exhibiting in an upcoming show…

They make me smile.

Reminiscing...

I have this terrific journal started from a class taught by Kristen Steiner / Adventures in Italy.  I recently unearthed more ephemera!  Time to add more pages…and schedule another visit….

Cleaning in progress Tues EvE for workdesk week 76 phoTos!

A clean slate for Wednesday's next project...
I do love the lemony smell of dusting spray...
Getting everything all cleared off...
And cleaned up...
Nerdy, huh ?

Notice my "partner" on the far left....

We've got the desk lined with fresh 

wax paper....

Someone's messy and prone to spills...?

A new pose

Along with some more inspiration....

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? Week 71

 The new window is in and now there is some order in the chaos!  Working on a journal page here and reviewing Sharon Tomlinson's FACES course you can find on her blog HERE.  She's wonderful and I love her southern accent.

 A couple of other angles here.  Obviously I like to be surrounded by all my "stuff"!  I just find it inspiring seeing all my pens, pencils, brushes, scraps of paper, etc...

I will never be a minimalist girl or live in a home with white walls everywhere.  I need color!

Wish these pics were not so dark!  ACK!

Hope you enjoyed the visit and will check out other workdesks Julia is featuring HERE  for "WOYWW 71".  Lots of artsy, crafty  peeps sign up every week and are great about returning your visit.

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? Week 70

Hard to believe this was spic n span yesterday morning!

Getting a new window installed today = moving lots of stuff to the other side of the studio, on top of my workdesk, filing cabinet, etc.  In the midst of mounting some stamps on foam core to boot.  

And why am I sharing this shameful disarray?  Well, to join Julia at the Stamping Ground found HERE to share with other artsy crafters in honor of  WOYWW#70!

I promise it will be cleaned up later today Mom.
