Just spinning all over the place with ideas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It is always a struggle to achieve some sort of balance between these two opposite traits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The more stress I&#8217;m under, the more it gets kind of crazy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Doug pans around the messy studio so you can see what I&#8217;m talking about.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When it gets hectic I just shove stuff to the side and continue working.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">As you can see, it gets hectic often.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When it gets to the point that I just can&#8217;t think anymore, that is when it is time to clean up and restore some order and peace into my chaotic surroundings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I promise to do a real tour sometime soon (once I clean up), and will show you what&#8217;s inside all of those drawers and cubby holes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I bet there are others out there with messy studios too!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I&#8217;d love to hear your stories&#8230;<a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vKfyybELaqU?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=3393#video\">Craft Room Organization<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=13676#video\">Cindy Lietz Studio Tour<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=6779\">Eight Stages of Creativity for Polymer Clay Artists<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
