Since I didn’t get a picture of the chair before ACC, you’ll have to settle for some pics of it in the booth. (And yes, you can actually sit in it!)

greetings from ACC

Just a quick hello from ACC to share a picture of my booth.

-Friday night in the studio

and

-Finished! The chair and 3 pillows! But no pictures until I visit the powder-coater.

I like to think about what I would do with my business if I won the lottery. High on my list would be to buy this building, an old train station in the next town over. Built in 1901, it still has many of the original architectural details.

How much would you love to have this as your studio?

I have to admit, there’s something nice about working away in the studio on a snowy day. The chair is almost done, I should finish the last panel tonight, and then I’ll start assembling tomorrow. Hopefully it all comes together ok. Wish me luck!

It definitely sounds more poetic than shadows in the garage (since they are one and the same).

A brief moment of sun on this windy, wintry day.

Annie and Jill were both nice enough to help me out at the Gift Fair last week, and coincidently, both have necklaces I’m coveting.

I’m tired of being in a state of constant stress and panic, so today I downloaded Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity from iTunes to listen to in the studio.

I can’t even tell you how helpful this is. Everyone should download it now. I can’t wait to start organizing. (Words I never thought I’d say.)

One of my favorites ideas is dumping everything (ideas, email, etc.) into a “bucket” and everyday emptying the bucket. I liked this so much a immediately posted it on my studio wall. Now my new goal is to empty the bucket at the end of each work day.

Part of my empty the bucket goal is to blog everyday. And even though the picture quality isn’t as good, I’m continuing taking photos with my iPhone. It makes blogging so much faster, which means I’ll do it more, and isn’t that the whole point.

Chair, in progress…
