A Confession

Well, maybe more like an admission: I am messy!
I am a very messy person. At home, no matter how hard I try, there always seems to be some mess, big or small... or huge. The "real world" job I do requires utmost organization, and I actually excel at that, and love keeping things organized. The organization facilitates doing the work in an efficient manner.

But at home, it's another story. Even though I know that organization would help me in my creative pursuits, this is what happens:

I organize my work space. Then I start a project. I work on that a bit and then decide there is a different project I would rather work on. Instead of putting aside or putting away the first thing, I start my next project right on top of it. And I usually continue doing that until there truly is no room to work, and then I must take a day to organize everything. And the cycle starts again. I truly believe that even if I had a huge studio, I would still cover every available surface with projects in varying stages of completion. It would still be a mess.

Hm, maybe if I just had more shelves...

  1. Ha! I am the exact same way. I start in my studio then overflow into the dining room. I think it fuels the creative process. At least, let's tell ourselves that.
