Finders keepers update

Well, I have been getting a little
more sleep.  My week started on
wednesday so it flew by.
I made these tweet clips for
finders keepers





Also some origami birds on a wire.
And a new piece of furniture, shutters,
and some more goodies.
Also on my way out the door, I told
Judy...and make it all 20% off.

to much baggage


I carry a lot of baggage.
No matter how old we
get...wisdom comes through
trial and error. Mostly error.
And no matter how hard we try...
we cannot escape our family.
I find I am getting a little more
eccentric...like my great aunts...
I fight it...but as much as I try to
get rid of my baggage...my stuff...
it seems to multiply.
My studio was so messy friday...you
couldn't see a counter or the floor.
It took me 8 hours to clean.
I almost cried at one point...looking
at all the stuff...I can't get rid of.
WHY?
That is the billion dollar question.

downsizing




Did I mention I have moved?
I am still recovering. Physically and emotionally.
I have heard moving is a very stressful event.
I am here to tell you...it is.

One of the reasons I decided to downsize is...
I am just tired of stuff. As a creative person
I seem to have more than the average amount.
So...I have filled a 10x20 storage space and a 5x15 storage space.
I intend to empty them both! Sell, give away, throw away.


Both of these images I found on...

I have moved into 230 square feet.
And my intention is...8ft. x 20 ft.
160 square feet and to be totally
self-sustaining.

Now I have my understanding partner
of 12 years he gets it, completely.
I am here in our very nice home half the
week. So really, since my fun and rewarding
job is 80 miles away, I just need a little space
to live in.
This is...
an adventure
a change
growth.
To let go of stuff.
Perhaps,
find myself.

clean it up

Since we last spoke my world has
a new outlook.
I decided to rent out my home.
I called a property manager on the 17th
of Sept. and she came out that day...I signed
a contract. She showed the house friday the 18th.
It rented.
I have been moving since then. I had to be out
by the 1st of Oct.
I have survived...barely.
So I am living rent free and
saving my money to build my little
home on wheels.
Where I am at....uh no shower
what do you think about this?
