do.
Somewhere
among
wanting,
hoping,
hiding,
breathing,
resting,
healing,
dancing,
realizing,
giggling,
sighing,
believing,
and
knowing,
I sit
quietly
doing.
Over the weekend, we tackled organizing the little room, my studio. It has been an 18-month on again, off again attempt to find what works for me.
Three trips to IKEA in 30 hours and lots of patience from Jon later I had a project table.
One wisdom tooth extraction and many mugs of tea and several bowls of cottage cheese and cups of pudding and a couple days later, I began to play.
The year of the do.
This is what this is.

yummy fabrics and beautiful buttons to make your delightful creations...
hello from a bit further north and west xo
I've got my buttons in those jars too, I love them. My word this year is truth - it's a struggle sometimes to see my way to it.
The year of the do! I LOVE that!
I can see the creativity flowing from you already, just in these pictures. I adore those jars of buttons. Beautiful!

Hooray! This kind of accomplishment feels so good - and begets even more positive energy. Wish I could be there to witness it in person :-)
hey...i am in the year of the do too. lucky duck, three trips to ikea. i am drooling. i get to go once a year. maybe twice if i am really lucky. just a short drive to chicago. i am feeling a day trip coming on!
girlfriend! i went to an IKEA for the 1st time when i visited my parents in dallas about a month ago...and i loved it by the way...and when i was there i got some of those very same canisters! we're twinkies!
"do" indeed. love it.
the year of the do. oh yes. my focus is leading me straight there :) love love love it honey.
and i heart those jars of buttons :)
Oooooh, those jars or buttons look scrumptious! My word this year is 'Leap' - as in, it's the year of the leap for me. I'm always a hold back, play it safe, be inconspicuous type of person. So this year I am leaping in all over the place, doing things I would normally be too apprehensive to try. So I can relate to your year of the 'do', and I look forward to watching you 'doing' your thing(s)!
oops - I meant jars OF buttons, not or.... :~
I just bought some of those same jars from IKEA last weekend..to go into my art room! I love seeing the cool stuff inside!

Did you say tooth extraction? I'm so glad you have the little room as a distraction. Happy day!
and now that your studio is 'organised' and ready to start 'doing'...first take a few days to just sit and 'marvel' in it's beauty!
Ikea...mmmm....a few months ago we went to buy a desk...got butterflies and flowers see-through glass top...cannot work there...just sit...and marvel!
Love it! xx
go you, liz
and long live the year of the do

Mmmm -- I wanna go for a swim in your stash!
Tree trips to Ikea?!? It seems well worth it. I hope you've made a comfortable spot to work your magic in.
The tooth goes...the wisdom stays.
Off to IKEA I go! Hadn't thought to separate my button collection by colour into these great jars. Order can be so beautiful! Don't you think?
