My head is spinning and bursting! Am I sick? Oh, I don't think so! Just overwhelmed with ideas, ideas, ideas for creating new things! I imagine most people who design art, or clothing, or accessories, or interiors, or whatever..........experience this as well. At least I hope so! Sleep is at a premium because as soon as I wake up, the head starts going and that's it! I'm up! Today I slept until 6, and that was a treat!

Yesterday I came to the realization that I HAD to clean up my studio before doing another thing. Because the newest ideas involve collections of vintage silk scarves and other silky materials for hooking, sewing, buttons, etc., I found that every inch of floor and other space in the studio was covered. I found I had to inch my way through the forest of STUFF everywhere. And I HAD to find storage space. So I spent hours up there re-arranging stash - oh not the yarn stash - but every other stash (fabric, findings, notions, plastic bags saved from the millennium for some reason, knitting needles, drawers, the donated and thrift-foraged scarves and lingerie, etc.) I should have taken before and after photos, but alas, I was embarrassed. I kept telling DH and the dog to stay away.

So now.....the studio (which also serves as sometimes guest room) has a floor, a couch, beds that are actually visible, fewer pieces of fabric and plastic bags, and CLEAN bedding and carpeting! It took the entire afternoon, but it settles my mind and body a bit. I have no knowledge of family coming anytime soon (too bad, because it won't stay this way for long!) But I am now ready to embark on the next ideas.

However, because of my frantic creating in the last couple of weeks, I've neglected the remainder of the house, my once-a-month adorable and efficient housecleaner has decided to go back to school, and so now I have to CLEAN the house today!

And it's my birthday weekend! UGH!!! I can't decide what I hate more - cleaning or birthdays! Probably cleaning because it happens more often than once a year - or at least it SHOULD! LOL!!! Scattered throughout the house and my head - and now here - are photos of recent ideas! Enjoy!

I am looking forward for your scarf collections. I feel you. It is terrific. :3 As you collect scarves, don’t forget to get some scarf rings too.
Hello I have just followed your blog and hope we can keep in touch I love your work and know what you mean about ideas. Sometimes I have so many things I want to do and run around and finish some and abandon others. But I kinda like that. Keep up the great work
