a few good things...

1. summertime evening light.

2. loving my new haircut.

3. cleaning my room, bit by bit - tidied & re-arranged of my mantle piece.

4. new zentangle stickers via redbubble.

5. freshly baked muffins.

6. my desk is clean & tidy too (for now!).

7. got a couple of fun new t-shirts from redbubble - grey | purple.

some bits & spaces...

It's amazing how lovely a little cleaning & dusting can make things feel...

also: my clean desk, & the art in the first two photos is by matouenpeluche & yellena.

before & after...

I've been working my way around my room, cleaning, dusting & generally tidying up. I finished the other day, having left the biggest mess - my desk/jewellery making space - for last.

Previous work-in-progress posts have lead to compliments on the neatness of my workspace - but those have all shown me working on pmc pieces, at the kitchen table. Which meant showing a space I set up, used & then packed up. I kind of felt I should also show my more permanent workspace...

...um, yeah. Basically it was just an accumulation of my not packing up properly as I started/tried/finished things. Plus plenty of dust (it's an old building + my window faces the road). Anyway...

I am going to make a concerted effort to pack up between projects, so that I can keep it looking at least a little bit tidy.

I might have mentioned that I have a rather large bead stash - that's what is in the containers on the desk, as well as those jars & drawers :)
