…partially because my studio is at one end of the room

Over the holidays my room has presents and wrapping paper all over the bed and floor and bills are stacked high waiting to be filed. Luckily I pay them as soon as I get them. My art table is cluttered with papers and art materials, waiting to be organized so that I can start painting again. Right now most of my art is done in my journal while I’m sitting at the dining room table or watching TV on the couch.

After the renovations I gave the basement and the main floor a good cleaning to remove the dust. I felt it was affecting our health and prolonged our colds. I did eventually get to vacuuming the bedroom floors and that at least made me feel better, psychologically and emotionally. Today I started to tackle the clutter. I put all my yarns back into bins, sorted through dozens of magazines and put the ones I wanted to keep in a box and recycled the rest. I cleaned off my desk and my art table and sewing table art much better but there’s still more work to do.

Here are the before photos. Someday I may show you the after photos but not today (still too much to do).
