So far I've been cleaning up after myself. ha. I usually let it go until I can't even walk in the place, let alone find anything. So don't bother feeling any guilt on my account. I'm just showing off my tidy self.paohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642040846510090078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-45156580028205064592014-03-20T16:20:29.531-05:002014-03-20T16:20:29.531-05:00I'm feeling guilty because the urge to make me...I'm feeling guilty because the urge to make messes is so much stronger in me than the urge to clean them up.

You re-make and re-use. That is perfect use of things. My dream is/was to create an artist collective where there is a big warehouse of items to be upcycled. Textiles in one corner and having all sorts of folks just grab what they need, and get it organized so that re-use could just keep going. Same for furniture and other notions.

Sigh.<br /><br />Gee, and I thought I had a stash - or more properly stashes. What a great workspace! Looks like you could get a lot done there. Yes, I totally agree with having a dedicated creative space. Mine are the 2 top floor bedrooms in our small house plus a goodly chunk of the laundry room (for dye studio). I had to wait until the kids left home before I could take over so much though!Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-8860730240822076462014-03-14T09:20:42.278-05:002014-03-14T09:20:42.278-05:00Yes, I've been able to find the most interesti...Yes, I've been able to find the most interesting shoes via ebay. <br />You're probably right. I've found having a dedicated studio space a real necessity for my creative spirit. It's been an ongoing priority in my life, either where I lived or external to it, since the early 70s.paohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642040846510090078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-89132077502894075872014-03-14T08:37:45.731-05:002014-03-14T08:37:45.731-05:00I thought those were Fluevogs - such cool colours!...I thought those were Fluevogs - such cool colours!

I should've mentioned that all the shelving, crates, desk and mirror were found as is in our alley. The other stuff in there is a couple decades old. <br />I've heard of the blog, but hadn't check it out yet. Now I will. I enjoyed the other one you suggested earlier.

I really like the chunky unesthetic quality of this type of shoe. I am on a clothing fast, but, well, the shoes came home with me nonetheless. <br />Your sewing room is covetable. Wonderful to have a space dedicated to repurposing. I think most of us in the first world could go without buying material things for a long long while if we wanted to. I find it admirable you are trying to do so. About a decade ago I started buying mostly 2nd hand things and then it slowly eased into not buying almost anything at all. There is creativity and pleasure in limitation isn't there?<br />Btw, don't know if you are familiar with this blog, but it's really charming and I thought you might like it (I only just found it):<br />http://malepatternboldness.blogspot.be/Gam Kauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246353719716935408noreply@blogger.com
