Secrets from the Studio

Lately I have been planning how I want to get the studio organized, decorated, layed out.

I finally got my Samantha Lamb prints framed and ready to hang. They look so good int heir new ikea frames.
Still trying to decide on the floor. Continue the cork or try something new.  Right now I am liking the concrete- easy to sweep up (yeah right) all the fabric scraps on the floor plus it makes an awesome dance floor when Cole and I dock the ipod and shake our booties to the Foo Fighters.

The hardest part is it is a work space and while I can get very inspired by all of the pretty spaces I find online- I have a lot of things that aren’t so pretty- like a big industrial sewing machine , a large steam press, scraps all over the floor…

But…. I am still trying to get inspired- there has to be some compromise between work space and pretty place, right?  So if you have any great pictures of your “craft” spaces email them to me- I need more inspiration.

And a little secret (if Cathy can admit it so can I).  I watch Rock of Love 2 re-runs while I work.  Yep, it’s true.  I think I have complained before about day-time tv, but VH-1 and MTV suck me right in. Cathy said:
I will sit there providing a one-sided, running commentary during the hour I spend with Bret and the girls, tossing out things like: where do they FIND these people? who would want boobs THAT big? I cannot IMAGINE competing with 11 other women and watching you make out with them every day! WHY WON’T HE TAKE OFF THAT BANDANA? 

I do this too- only I am standing and cutting.  I can’t watch it while I sew because I laugh too much and we all remember what happens when I get distracted when I sew (let’s just say industrial sewing machines can sew through anything- including fingers)

Loved this quote from Cathy too

But it is what it is: a freaking train wreck of silicon-laden ‘smokin’ hot hotties’ that you sort of can’t look away from. (Well, maybe YOU can… but I’m here today to stand up and admit that I am powerless over MOST of VH1s offerings.) 

Right there with ya sista.

And if you missed the skit on SNL a few weeks ago she has it on her blog.
