A blink of an eye

I did end up cleaning my studio. When I finished I stood back and looked at and thought "Wow, that looks great, and organized. Now what project can I start now?" Since then I have started a number of projects and my space is back to where I started. Who can stay clean and organized in the throws of creativity? Not I. I love surrounding myself with loads of supplies, all within an arms reach.
Leaving the restaurant business to pursue my artists dreams has been a process. A process that I continue to live each and everyday. As many of you fellow artists and crafters know, working in our studio's each day can be a bit isolating. When I was a restaurant owner I probably saw upwards to 200 people a day throughout my work day (which was generally 10-14 a day). I spoke to numerous people on the phone each day at the restaurant. Now I talk to the ladies at the gym, my mail person, my cats, my part time dog and my son, on a good day. And if any of you have a son rapidly approaching middle school age ,you know just how much they talk to their Mother's. It usually goes something like this "Mom, when is dinner ready, I'm hungry?".
But, you know, I wouldn't go back. At the same time, I have no regrets. I love my life now. I love being able to work and play in my studio everyday, it's truly a gift.
