OH..............CLEANING, CLEANING....



O.K. all you gals with studios out there.......I have a simple question for you.

How do you keep those studios, with all that stuff, from becoming one big dust bowl?

I spent almost four hours this morning working in my studio, dusting, washing, sweeping, etc.  My spot is so tiny compared to the rest of you out there; just a little cubby.

And.......I don't have nearly as much stuff as most of you serious artists.  So........how do you keep from coughing, sneezing, wheezing, etc. whenever you are in there visiting all those little dust bunnies.

How do you keep your studio clean??????

Good day to everyone,

Jo

  2. What's clean????? I don't even bother anymore! In case you haven't noticed, living in Arizona means DUST, and you never get ahead of the dust. Sorry, but it's true!

    Hugs,

  4. Hi Jo, my crafts room is not nearly as large or fancy as some of the ladies either... and mine does get dusty... how about we make dust bunny dolls or necklaces or something we can sell to get rid of them??? xoxo Julie Marie

  5. I say that if you have enough stuff laying around then you can cover up the dust! My biggest problem is thread and fabric scraps ending up on the floor. Then, my two helpers, kittie 1 and 2 add to the dust and fur flying! LOL!
    I like Julie's idea to make dust bunny dolls or something....

  16. Dearest Jo....I don't! Keep it clean, that is! Maybe all the constant activity keeps the dust bunnies away!!!

    Oh thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving me such kind words. You know what, I went back to college at 34 and I remember crying over a writing assignment, because I could not construct a sentence. I then went on to study French and now I am fully licensed to teach elementary IN FRENCH...it is never too late. In fact, I like it just that way....learning at an older age because there is no substitute for wisdom. The wrinkles are worth it all!

    Bisous Jo! Anita

    Hope the foot is still attached...just keep dusting (o:

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
