It's a hideous mess. Even Audrey looks vaguely disappointed. This is what Christmastime around here looks like in the studio.
If you happened to be at the SE 7th Avenue P.O. yesterday morning, or the morning before that, or even the morning before that, and you saw a lady carrying more boxes than you would think it possible for one person to carry, especially through a non-automatic door, and then having a temper tantrum when she discovered once again that the "automated" postal center was mysteriously out of order and there were, once again, only two postal workers behind the counter to help the 25 people standing in line, my apologies. I'm really sorry you had to see that. Something happens to me when I enter that building. . . .
If, however, you are one of the people whose name and address was on one of the boxes, then you should be getting some felt any day now -- unless you live in England or Denmark. Those will be mailed today. I ran out of time to write notes, but I hope that you have fun making stuff with it! If you didn't get in on the giveaway, I'm going to be putting Posie Scrap Bags together for sale on the site in 2006, and they'll include all sorts of felt, fabric, flowers, ribbons, and papery extras from the above-pictured hive. I'll let you know when they're ready. I think Audrey will approve of that tack to get this place back in shape.
I got my box already!!! WOOT! I am SO beyond excited to do some projects! WOW! You were MORE than generous! BTW- one of my favorite things is seeing where creative people "do their thing"...LOVIN' your pix today! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the felt! My mind and fingers are fluttery with the possibilities!
Ooh, I love that you hung shoes on your wall. What a fabulous idea!
Despite your clutter (and I tend to like clutter!), your studio looks like the most wonderful place in the world to work! With a place like that to create, no wonder you make such beautiful things! :)
i got my box, too!!! i was so excited- it really made my day. thanks to you, maya will actually have a stocking for her very first christmas! your kindness and generosity are unparalleled. :)
I agree. Mess or no mess, your studio looks like a wonderful place to create. I'm quite envious.
Good morning, dear one! OK, I'm addicted to your cozy posie spot already! Just one more way to make the miles disappear between us! Hug our Andy for me.....
What a generous soul you are! Thanks for the felt - and I'll be eagerly watching for the Posie scrap bags!
Please tell me how I can return the favor - or at the very least I'd like to send you money for the postage. Thanks much!! ~Stacy
isn't it always so fun to get a peek into other people's work spaces?! thanks for sharing yours - it looks great! love the table...
I think your studio looks fabulous! And I don't think it looks all that messy either.
i would love to have a studio like this, and the clutter just adds to the warmth! all i have is my dining room, and some shelves...
