Have been discussing lost things (time, energy, minds, etc) for a few days with my new friend Lain, so I think this is such an appropriate subject today. I spend so much time in my "studio" (which really means the world cuz life=studio to me) that the thing i've certainly lost most is my youth. This isn't a new LO, in fact it is one of the first one's I'd ever done, but it sits in my "studio" space and reminds me in equal amounts that what I do keeps me young as well as takes my time. but what's a goil to do??
Studio Friday

I found this super cool metal basket at Target and when I saw it's holes, I KNEW I had the absolute perfect use for it! I unwound ALL my ribbons and piled them in and threaded the end of each one through a hole. Because the box has four sides (genious is he/she who invented the 4- sided box LOL) I was able to organize too (cool colors, warm colors, neutrals and patterned/multi). They took up much less room not on the spools and freed up an entire drawer in my desk where they used to be. Plus now they're decorative while NOT in use to boot! I didn't decorate the box, except for the one clear quote sticker you see in the pic. Love that! And you know what else I love? That $14.99 brought me such joy on a thursday. Here's hoping you find cheap joys today too.

This is what makes me immeasureably happy today! I downloaded the pattern for these flippin fantastic, fun cute juice box purses. Have you seen anything cuter?? I also got the clutch pattern. www.wackysack.com . [edited this link, was wrong, SORRY!]
The fonts? Well those are my four newest little babies from www.letterheadfonts.com. Authentic, vintage well-made fonts from quality craftsmen. I firmly believe you get what you pay for and you will not be disappointed with these. (I don't even get paid to say this!)
These two sites have made me very happy today!!

On my daily morning read of "those I find inspirational", I saw a post about a neat litle idea: Studio Friday. It so sounds like me and something I would find interesting to soo myself, so of course, sign me up, I'm on board! This friday's theme: golden yellow. My studio space walls are golden yellow, it is "my color", if you follow all that pantone color matching/horoscope/color theory STUFF. Never really thought about taking a pic of my walls, but here is one of some of the normal amount of clutter and wall in the background. fun little idea that tine sparkles has.

Love when you suddenly see a photo BEFORE it is taken. Looked up and Carsey just looked so beautiful, so teen-ish I had to stop cooking dinner, grab the camera and make her come outside so I could snap this in the fading light. We just need to lock her up now and save us the heartache!
