OK, I didn't write down any resolutions or words for the year yet...I only know this: I told myself I'd be more organized. I wasn't really specific. I made myself a notebook this year to keep track of labels and receipts and such, so I got that much done....and well, that's about it. I clean my work desk at least once a month and it takes A LOT of my time to do. I always feel better afterward....and then two days later it looks worse and worse and worse...........and I am surprised I get anything done. I really do have a great little space and I am planning to paint the ugly tannish-brown colored walls soon. Anyway, an excersize in humility brings me here to show you where I work. Where I spend serious blissful hours making things for you...infusing them with joy and with love...in an organized chaos. Is there such a thing?
Thanks for being here today and sharing your time with me. I really enjoy sharing my life here. It is very cathartic for me; but also, someday my children can come here and see where their mama came from....
(my apologies for the video quality ahead of time.)
Jennifer, you sweetheart!! That is a desk of a very creative artist!!! The muse does not care about order!!
ReplyDeleteI love your wall with you favorite paintings and your sister's work, it's all just lovely! I wanted to tell you if you ever have the supplies (and it looks like you may) to make another pair of these earrings: Blue Blue Dream of You Earrings on the bottom of your blog please let me know. I missed out on them on Etsy and wished I would have bought those.
Have a wonderful creative day :)
Love, Cathi xo
Jennifer! I adore your creative corner-the potential in all that beauty on your desk just makes me smile :) And, wow, I feel honored to be on your wall with such talented artists-don't know that I feel deserving but my appreciation runs so deep. Blessings to you this Saturday-enjoy every glorious second of creativity!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. I thought I was the only one who creates chaos along with pretty things. It seems each project churns up everything, and I have to stop and clean it up before moving on to the next one. Now I know that's OK. We just have carry our anti-chaos around in our heads, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI'm basically inhaling dog hair, wire wrapping dog hair, photographing dog hair. Man, I wish my fairy godmother would come and wave her wand over my mess. On the other hand, your simple mention of printing invoices has made my packaging and mailing a million times better, and i havent mixed up an order since.
ReplyDeletedo you know how huge that is?
However you do what you do, just keep on doing it!!! :) It was fun to see where my fav artist gets her inspiration and creates such beauty. :) Love, blessings, and prayers for your good health, Jennifer! Always, Karen
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this wonderful space with us where so many fabulous creations come to life! I feel so honored to see where such inspired pieces of art are made! Organized chaos?! Love it!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, love your creative haven and your wall of inspiration. It is always a special moment when I put on your jewelry in the morning. So happy I found you and your treasures.

P.S. This weekend I put your little Windsor crate with the crystal feet on my bathroom windowsill. Inside the crate are your little notes, a candle, and pieces of your original wrapping paper and ribbons you had used to gift wrap your jewelry. My heart lifts each time I see your creation there on my windowsill. Love it all. Thank you.
This desk is perfectly dreamy just like you... Quite literally a treasure trove filled w/ awesome. Thats you. I seriously want to dive in and root around all your treasures.
ReplyDelete!!! My soul lit up like a christmas tree on fire when I saw my Koko and the butterfly banner at home w/ YOU! Next to Kelly Rae and Susan's gorgeousness...WOW. wow. wow. wow. I am.... beyond words! I can muster up the sounds of insane laughter and joyfulness as I share this w/ my other half. The sound of your sweetness and laughter is just....*sigh* so sweet!
You made my day... Not only now, but every day! You are so dear.
Love you,
me
PS. I haven't made an "official" resolution(s) either. I told myself I'd be more "disciplined" which I hope translates to "organized." You should see my glorious mess (hoping you WILL!) :D
