Crafting bug and cleaning.

I have spent the weekend doing something I wanted to do instead of something I HAVE to do. Yeah me!
I went through all the boxes in the studio and gave away 1/3 of what I had to a gal who is having a garage sale. then I resorted, repacked and reorganized the studio. Then out came the vacuum and broom, and I sucked up the dirt and dead bugs. It is almost 100% ready, and well past the ready mark for crafting and painting. I need to get a couple pieces of plywood for the walls so I have a seamless surface to do my big paintings on, and I need to find some lost hardware or buy replacement hardware for my easel. I also want to get some wheels for a book cube I had made for my old computer setup so I can have a rolling paint palette and paint holder. This way I can just push it back and forth between the two big paintings, allowing me the joy of working both at once. I might even try and raise the whole thing so it is more comfy to use. I shall have to see what needs to be done and see if my darling has scrap wood he will part with. The less I have to buy, the better. Also, I am going to get a screen door so I can open the place up in the summer and get a breeze.

*Siiigh*

Please let the weather warm up soon so I can decoupage/paint/craft/felt/fall into crafting and art bliss.

On top off all this, I moved a few stray daffodils I missed, wrestled with a huge line up of blackberry bushes that are taking over a stretch of fencing, watched "The Bucket List" and a motorcycle race or two, did dishes, made French toast, and am now off to gather what I will need for the arrival of the 6 baby chicks Tuesday. Oh, and I need to make lunch for tomorrow.

Maybe I'll sleep good tonight. I hope. Not a bad Easter weekend, if you ask me!
