newly organized studio reveal
As I shared on my blog last week, I took several days to continue the organizing efforts and focused them on my studio. I had honestly been avoiding my studio the entire month of February. I knew it would be tedious work and I knew I would have to dramatically rethink the way I purchased […]
Online Painting Classes
If you haven’t guessed, I almost always have an ambitious list of things I want to accomplish each year. Some things end up getting kicked down the road simply because I only have so much time and I have to focus on things that are a higher priority. My little pet projects are the ones […]
organizing the art studio | brushes, pastels & rearranging
One of my goals when organizing the art studio was to greatly simplify the amount of stuff that’s sitting out in the open.

Rosa’s Recipes | Creating a Blurb Book
Organizing is something I do pretty regularly. Several times a year, I’ll get a little tired of certain areas and I’ll start sorting. Sometimes I force myself to go through each item and make decisions. Other times, I just organize the stuff that’s there, only getting rid of the obvious. As I’ve been organizing in […]
No Spend February 2021 Recap
Well, we made it through no-spend February! I received a few confession comments/emails from people who felt like they blew it, but the point isn’t to be perfect. The point is to become more aware of what you spend (and why) beyond tracking it in a budget. I’m happy to report that I stuck with […]
