ORDER

My dad has the most incredible workshop. You can find anything and everything you need for any project. He throws NOTHING away and is the ultimate up-cycler. Fortunately my folks live close by on a beautiful farm, 10min from my home. My studio has been become a sea of small pieces of magazine clippings which started flowing out into every corner of the house thanks to our new puppy, Marley. So time to get organized and create some order out of the chaos of decoupage. A trip to my dads workshop and a quick rummage around and we unearthed 2 very useful old pin boards. I'm sure one of them dates back to my teenage bedroom! A box of pins and I'm super stoked at my newly organized desk.

New pin board makes finding just the right image easy

Nicely organized.

STUDIO UPDATE: WORK FROM 2012

BACK TO WORK

It’s been a delicious holiday. A great friend spent a glorious 10 days visiting from Copenhagen. It was wonderful to have her and her beautiful boy sharing our lives here in BBos. Morning coffee and long natters on the stoep, baking cupcakes, trips to the beach, swimming in the farm dam, home cooked feasts and the slow pace of a summer holiday.

But holidays are over and it’s back to work. I spent the first part of the week rearranging my house, organizing and tidying. I’m a bit of a procrastinator and it takes me a while to gear up into work mode! So here is a pic of my lovely organized space. A quiet spot to page through some magazines looking for images to decoupage my new project.

Well, one thing lead to another. Snip, snip, where's the glue?

........and here is a pic of what it looks like at the end of a productive, creative day, cutting and pasting!

Sitting room becomes work space

OK, I’m in the zone now and can’t wait to get busy again tomorrow.
