(hmmm…there is something weird going on with the blog topper…anyway)…anyone who knows me, might know i am a bit of a freak when it comes to cleanliness…ok a lot of a freak! over the last few months things have been insane to say the least. starting a new clothing line, opening the store, health problems, losing the baby, potty training(oh!!!i have to write about that in detail, it is so great, and so frustrating too, and hilarious…but she is doing awesome!) anyway…the house has been my last priority, it has gone from messy to disastrous, to straight up getto nasty clutter junk yard motif.
so after a few days of late nights and some elbow grease…as i write this…the house is totally clean.(a rarity with two children. i often get one room done and then i head to the next one, only to discover that the one i just cleaned is messy again) as i was saying…as i write this, the house is completely clean…the way i clean, the last load of laundry is in the dryer, and there are fresh sheets on the bed calling my name!
the best part is…i got my studio straightened up too, finally…i don’t know how i was working in it. it will soon be cluttered again with some upcoming projects, but it can’t get as bad as it was…it was like a ransacked art supply/sewing store. it’s too bad i don’t have before and after pictures…but…here are the afters. oh, and how could i forget, it is finally kid proof…well ‘creative wild girl and mom at the same time’ kid proofed.
aahhhh….and with that we are off the ocean tomorrow, for a whole week…i am so EXCITED! i was just there, it helped me heal…and now we are going back as a family! i get so creative when i go there…i wish i could stay forever.
i will post pictures as soon as we get back.
oh yeah, while i was organizing i found the pictures that i promised to put up of the shop, here are a few, but when i get back i will post more.
Have a great time, Heidi!
Oh, and I love the looks of your studio and your store! Best of luck!
Oh, I’m so excited to see your new stuff! Love your blog and it is good to see you moving through life, come what may.
Blessings!
I literally clapped my hands and shouted yippee! And I am all by myself in my scrap room. I just read about your line being picked up by Colorbok (can’t make the umlaut). CONGRATS!! So happy to hear that you have a way to create and distribute scrapbook stuff. Now maybe I can use some of my old papers, knowing I can now get more. Happy day!!!
Just wanted to say that I think you are extremely talented and love your whimsical art work. Your store looks adorable … congrats on being picked up by Colorbok and your new store front.
The house is definitely nice and clean. The store is sweet and lovely, I’m sure people feel right at home the moment they walk in. Thanks for taking the time to share with those of us who live too far to pop in!
Heidi! I am so happy that I found you again! It has been great to catch up with you again though your blog posts. Your girls are getting so big and they are beautiful! I know you will be successful with everything that you do.
Gosh it all looks so beautiful!!!
I love love the shop! So cute and happy. Great news about Colorbok… I was afraid I would have to ration out my Heidi paper’s forever to avoid being without. You are an amazing designer and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
