Where Women Create
or at least where...
Hastypearl, Creates!
No, the magazine by the same name, hasn't called to feature my studio in its pages!
However, wouldn't That be a fun call to receive? !
You might have read on my Facebook wall before, that I crazily decided to set up the Christmas tree, house decorations, AND swap an extra bedroom for my Art Studio, at the same time.
I didn't have big plans for the week, so it seemed like the right time to do it.
Well, it took way longer than I anticipated, but it was done in time to hold a bit of an "Open House", for the families that came through our home, during the holidays.
With the room swap, I easily more than doubled my studio space, and boy, does that feel good!
Now, I know that there are people out there that have Much
more room than this, and I know that there are those that have less.
I'm convinced however, that whatever room, panty, closet or garage it is, or its size,
we will Always...fill it up!
I think that you can see that I love Antiques.
I love Design.
And right after that...I love to Make a Mess!
I thought that it would be fun...for you to see how nice the room looked during its
"Open House",
because basically right after I closed the door behind the last guest...
the fur/supplies/waiting projects list,
started to fly.
I do like to "clear the decks", as Ina Garten says, after each project, but somehow, I just end up getting back out most of the same supplies all over again,
so it stays in a Perpetual.. Mess!
So, cue some soft non-reality Disney music, as you scroll down and look at the neat and tidy images,
and then when you're done with those...
rip out some real world Rowdy music, to see what the last picture I took of my old space looked like, because my table already looks like that, Again!
Yep, Where Women Create...
If you are going to call me for a photo-shoot, I'm going to need a few days to get the space looking magazine ready!
Until then,
Here Here, to all the REAL World Offices and Studios...Right? :)

...oh, and, there are some pretty sweet Valentines, already starting to sneak their way into my hastypearl shop, if you haven't checked in, in a while.
And I mean, the kind of Valentines, that out last chocolates and cards!
Hear that, Men? ;)
The walls will eventually be covered over again, from notes from artist friends, finished pieces
and future project ideas.
You're Playing the Disney music, right?
Okay. Cue the Rock and Roll music...For Messy Table, Now! ;)
(Hope you had some fun at your messy table...today!)
Best to you...Laura
