Taxes, cleaning and painting…..

Ok, I’ve gotten sidetracked once again.  No, it hasn’t REALLY taken me this long to clean the studio.  I had the studio clean last week.  Then, I had my taxes than really needed to be done.  There was also a painting job thrown in the mix and preparing for kids getting a week off school for spring break.

I can actually see what paints and supplies I’ve got now.  I love when it’s clean, but why doesn’t it ever last???????

  I must confess… part of the reason I didn’t post sooner is because I wash hoping to get the sides of this desk finished first.  I did get the panels stained.  I just haven’t been able to get them cut down to size.  One of these days I’ll get them done.  I did however build this rack to hold my sample boards and other items.

Hopefully your projects are getting done quicker than mine these days.  Soon, it’ll be even harder to stay inside.  I think spring is finally here after this last snow storm.

I FINISHED THE SIDES OF THE DESK…Finally!!!!

Sometimes all it takes is admitting you don’t know when you’ll get it done.  Yesterday while the kids had friends over playing, I finished the sides for the desk.  What as difference it makes.  Unfortunately, the kids broke my camera yesterday so I can’t take a picture yet.  If that is the worst that happens over spring break, it’s not too bad.  My camera has been slowly dying anyway, I guess they just helped it along.  Hopefully, I’ll be going out this weekend to pick a new one.  I really need to be able to take pictures of my paintings. 

My Studio – before the cleaning

I can’t believe I’ve let my studio get so messy.  It usually gets messy when I’m in the middle of projects, but this time it has gotten WAY out of control.  Look, you can’t even see my desk because it’s buried.

One of my favorite things in the studio is my sink.  What a luxury it is to not have to run to the garage to clean my brushes.

So, my current project is to get this studio back in order.  I started on it yesterday and plan on finishing it today.  I need to have room so I can get started on some sample boards I need to do.  Also I am procrastinating a little. I’m supposed to be working on getting my tax stuff ready.  John if you are reading this, I promise I’ll work on the taxes tomorrow. 

I’ll post the completed project…hopefully later today.
