What a Mess!
Ok! So it's Saturday night and my husband and I just looked through the Harbor Freight Hardware Catalog together while the children watched Madagascar. Sounds romantic right?!
He has been traveling a lot lately because of work and we have had very little time alone together. We talk to each other at least once a day when he travels but it just seems like we have had no downtime. My schedule is just crazy busy with work, volunteering at the kids school, maintaining the household, fundraising, trying to get pictures and postings up for jewelry and hmm maybe even making some jewelry.
I have been avoiding my work studio like the plague cuz it's just a mess! I need one good day just to clear off my workbench so I can make some new jewelry. I have some ideas and sketches of ideas but no room to create them cuz there's crap all over the place! Scrapbooking stuff, stamping stuff, beads, wire, tools you name it, it's down there.

I'm actually a pretty organized person and have been accused of being anal retentive about how I like to keep things in a specific orderly fashion. It just makes my life a litttle easier if I know where every thing is. Problem is that when I start making jewelry, I get carried away and stuff goes everywhere! I have been so busy that I usually am making stuff as I go and not taking time to clean up after myself. So I am dedicating Monday to cleaning up my work studio.
I work at a Bead shop (Katherine's Bead Boutique)which is like heaven to me. So I have been working to help get the shop organized also. So I am in the right frame of mind. I just have to force myself to get down those stairs and start tiding!
Wouldn't it be great if we could just have one extra day a week to do the little things that get pushed off the schedule or that would make the rest of the week easier?! Yeah, dream on!
