Art Versus Artist

 Hi everybody, just a quick post to let you know why I've not been around this week.  I spent a total of 11 hours this past weekend sorting and organizing my new stash from my mom's craft room.  You could not see the floor for the boxes of goodies!  It has been exhausting and overwhelming.  I thought I would just do a box a day at a slow pace, but my brain doesn't work that way and I had to finish once I started!  YIKES!  Anyway, phase 2 is complete.  Phase 1 was the stamps and that took about 8 hours.  One more phase to go, sorting Stampin' Up! sets and a few misc. supplies that are in one small bookcase tower.  Anyway, here is a pic - showing that my floor is now freed!

I also wanted to share a little Instagram fun with you and my #artvartist post.  It's so much fun to see how many people actually resemble their artwork!  I guess I do too - wild and burly, slightly vintage!
I look forward to sharing a Finnabair style project with you from my art group Saturday morning.  Fun stuff.  Have a great weekend!

Love the collage with you in the middle - slightly vintage, LOL - I think that could describe most of us. Your art room looks so neat and tranquil. I bet it's not like that when you're in the middle of a big project!

Oh WOW, What a tidy place you've created with all the new stuff! I should have you visit (you're close enough!) and help me do the same thing. My floors are such that one must step carefully. Love the new header, and I KNOW that you did need some new stash. Lucky you to have a Mom to share with you. Hugs & Happy wkend. TFS

Your craft room looks so nice, Autumn! I know you'll enjoy using your mom's supplies but hope everything is okay... I do think you fit right in with your artwork, and you know that's a compliment!!

All the hard work is paying off because your art room looks amazing!! hugs :)

Someone should have snapped a picture of you in the floor with your mess Autumn - heheheheheeh!! But Wow - what a beautiful area you have to create. I didn't know people resembled their artwork - ehehhehe - dear me!!! One thing for sure... I completely LOVED the collage of you with your artwork. And I must admit - you do all look GREAT together!!! But then again - I'm prejudiced because I love you AND your artwork!!! Xj.

Oh, Autumn, your time away was well spent organizing. I've been doing some here and there and need to devote a bigger block of time like you did. I see it was well worth it, and it surely makes us more productive and allow us to be more creative. How wonderful! Big hugs, sweet friend, and enjoy the weekend!

Looks like order among chaos is near! Very neat and tidy room you have there and your walls are pretty! I really enjoy when people share pictures of their creative spaces. It seems like I get to know the artist better through their art room. Awesome sauce job! Can't wait to see your next Finn style project! Hugz to you muffin! ~Niki

Hi, Autumn! Your organizing vibes must have traveled to Florida last week, because I also sorted, cleaned, purged, etc. I even did a little video, but am too chicken to post it. My mom flew to heaven in 1992, but I still sort through her crafting things, too. Lovely piccollage, Autumn. Congratulations on exposing your floor once again! Your artsy place does look wonderful! Hugs, de

Love seeing your space... the striped wall rocks, and I love the chickadee-dee-dee, of course! We are set up very similarly (big shock there... not), except mine is a disaster area! Good for you not getting distracted by your supplies! Now when you have time, you will feel so free to create! Probably found some things you'd forgotten about! :) Cheers

Looking good, love! Great job! You sound like me having to finish what you've started. Sometimes I can't sleep until a project is complete "enough".
