Move along little doggies…. I am going to be rambling here for a moment. I usually use this space to work my thoughts throughwith the hopes that at least a m entertaining if in the least amuseing. One of the things I am is busy.. busy mind busy space busy life… I keep myself busy, all put on myself no one expcts anything from me, I have not been employed for over 18 years. Now of course I have clients who expect me to deliver on my promises, children and husband who are wanting to be cared for but really ?? It can get on with out me. So why do I pressure myself ? Why don’t I just get comfy and do the same old thing over and over ? BORING!! I can’t handle boring, I need to have potential an dlook forward to the potential.
What am I looking forward to ?? After 7 months of trying to work in my house, I have come to the conclusion I just can’t… I need to have a dedicated space with a door that I can put a do not disturb sign on and just plain work. We have decided that we would remodel a portion of an out building that our laundry is in to be my new Studio… Door is now in new walls almost completed. Paint to come soon. Only can do so much at once finansially but after Christmas sales I should be able to afford to remodel the roof and refinish the ruff concrete floor. It will be a nice space about 10 feet wide and 18 feet long… will have to keep the center open since it is the main way to our only full bath. And no I do not have a full bath in the main house… we have been remodeling for over 5 years now and the bathroom some how became my Craft storage, hung a curtain and there it has sat for nearly 3 years. MAYBE this move will make it so my bathroom gets finished??? I so look forward to a hot bath in my own house not a hotel.
This move will give my family back its Dining table… which will be very nice. Also the computer and my Bear finishing will be out of my bedroom. I am thinking a nice over stuffed chair and a lamp… to be able to leave my bedroom door open and make myself available to the children. This leads to what will I do for a schedule. Kids are all off to school by 8, Allison is woken up at 9 and starts her work around here at 10. I think I will adopt the same schedule 10 o’clock I will start. Work till 3 when the first child gets home and get homework chores and dinner done. Bedtime is not till 9 but I think that I want to adopt a 8 o’clock quite time policy. We are not a TV family but they are allowed a movie in the evening, usually not till 7 but I think this will have to move up till 6… maybe implementing this will quicken up the clean up after dinner. Then I can head back out to the shop @ 8 and work till midnight packing orders, making kits and updating the blog. One thing for sure I will have to get better lighting in my studio soon !!
YAY !! I have a start to what I am doing !! I have already laid out the studio and I think I can get everything in. I gain a little space, not much really extra but a few wall shelves and a work table that will be built over the chest freezer I have to work around. I have a wonderful 5 foot Garden window we salvaged years ago that will be installed at some point in time. I plan to paint the antique door we rescued with chalk board paint and maybe some magnetic paint to be able to make notes to myself… Need that ” Mad teddy creator at work, do not disturb sign”
