Shaking Down

Things are shaking down. You know that feeling, where things are very nearly in place, but you know there's still space for them to settle? I've been waiting for things to settle. There are already new things on their way--new, exciting, nervous things--but everything else is becoming quiet and making way. Things are getting comfortable.


1. I finally got around to taking some pictures of my art room. It's not exactly Pinterest worthy. It's messy and lived in, and full of paper and paint. And by god, I love it. 






2. Remember these classes that I was nervous about starting? They're finished! I may have been up until midnight on Friday finishing the last of my coursework, but I am done done done. Next up: a Foundations of Design class that I'm really excited about. Bring on the summer sessions.




3. Projects. I made a sidebar button for them, but so far, it remains empty. It's because when I finish something, I never remember to take pictures of it before shipping it off to the person it's for. The small projects I've been able to complete lately have all gone on their merry way. I've made a mental note to get better at keeping track of my projects. Which is to say...we'll see how that goes. One day I'll get good at this blogging thing.


4. What better note to end on than a Jade Guardsman? None.

I'm excited for the new things. I can't wait to tell you all about them.

  1. Your art room is fantastic! I'd love a space to create things in like that. I guess technically I could actually USE the desk I have in my bedroom, but I still need a chair. And even then, I won't have the cool things you do.

    And the Jade guardsman -- love that.

    1. Thanks! It really feels great to have a space like this--I'm lucky to have it. Though yes, it might be easier to use your desk if you can find a chair--I bet you could make it into a great creative space.

      I'm quite fond of the Jade Guardsman myself. I'm looking forward to adding to his kingdom.

    1. Thanks, Katie. It's definitely cozy--I'm starting to enjoy painting into the night, which is something I haven't been able to do in a long time.

  3. I love this! I would love to have an art room, but I just have an art desk at the moment. Totally not the same!

    1. Thanks, Hannah! It definitely feels like a luxury, to finally have a whole room devoted to paint (especially since it means no more stray paintbrushes on the coffee table--or at least less of them :P ).
