You are so sweet. If you could see it now it would blow your mind - it's a mess! LOL!! I finally get a day off tomorrow so I will have to clean it up. With the holidays coming I let it get a little out of hand. I'm up grading my computer with a flat screen monitor so I'll have a little more room. I just wish we had 48 hour days instead of 24! LOL! I know I'm crazy :) Thanks, Beverly! You are so sweet. If you could see it now it would blow your mind – it's a mess! LOL!! I finally get a day off tomorrow so I will have to clean it up.

Lovely, comfey, joyful spot to be. Well, I really never thought I would envy anyone or anything, but this sure makes me come close :-) AWESOME would be the best word to describe your art space.

I have my space so messy right now you all would be shocked! I have to learn to do one project at a time. But, then I do get distracted by the Tigers! They won a close one tonight! Gotta go - I must clean! Where's Donna? I need her!! LOL!!! Kelly, Thanks for the sweet comments. I have my space so messy right now you all would be shocked!

Thing is if my work (dining) table is cluttered with clay and canes and pliers etc I'm more inclined to sit down and tweak something, and then get lost and totally absorbed for a few hours. If I've tidied away then I'll be off gardening or making chutney or something. Arlene I'm on a roll at the moment too – and buzzing with ideas.

When I get in creative mode, neatness goes out the window. I've been in creative mode for the last couple of weeks with more ideas than time. Still working for a few more years, so I have to wrap my "want to play" time around my "got to work to pay for the play" time! And if I have a choice between cleaning and claying, guess which wins!

It sounds like you got plenty of room. I am just the opposite, I wanted to get back into painting but my husband said to concentrate on one thing at a time. So, I will concentrate on polymer clay! I love the magnets on the jar lids too. You could probably have your brother make several and sell them to all of us!! B, don't forget to take a commission!! :0) Arlene, I may want to move in with YOU!! It sounds like you got plenty of room.

The story of where I live and why is way to long to go into, but let's just say it started out as a 36x16 greenhouse. When my husband died, I sold the motorhome and moved in. After a couple of years my brother and his crew enclosed the back porch and added a 20x18 "bedrom" on the back for me. I had my painting studio is the back porch area 16x8 and my bedroom in the large room. After about six months, I switched it around, moving my bed and dresser into the 16x8 room and using the nice big room for my studio. I pretty much live in there now. I have my big comfy recliner, my computer, tv and nice big windows for plenty of natural light. To correct a problem with a leaky roof, my brother put on a metal roof (which I LOVE) and changed the pitch of the roof. I had him leave the room open all the way up, so on the house side of the room, the wall is 12 feet high, sloping down to 8 feet at the window wall. I still don't have my work space set up exactly as I want it since I've added polymer clay as my primary art form instead of the painting that I had done for years. It's a gradual process but I've picked up some great ideas from Catalina and I love the idea of the magnets on the jar lids. My brother builds metal buildings so guess what he's going to get to make for me this weekend???? Thanks to all of you for the ideas and inspiration!
