WARNING: ENTERING MY STUDIO
...Thought I would take you along to see a bit of my studio...
While I was loading up these pictures I was reminded of how nice it is to have my OWN space. I know. I worked at the table for many years... or maybe we were just eating on my easel?
...I remember when I was a tad bit younger liking space.... seems that I have always had a bit of an issue with that sort of thing, come to think of it. This may come as a bit of a shock to you, but I SOOO badly wanted to have my own bathroom...
...At least one of my sisters liked space too.. though she didn't really appreciate that I liked her space... especially when we set up our play house in her closet. It was a perfect size.. had our own window, kitchen, and all.. no bathroom, but that didn't really matter.
...and there is one more story that is kind of humorous now that I am reminded of space. I was sponsored by the local Coop as a midsummer queen candidate. We were given a list of questions to prepare to answer on stage. One of the questions was, 'What are the pros and cons of being from a large family?' ... WAAAY too obvious... I would never be asked that one. Right. So I walk the walk, and wait prepared for the big question. Right? .... Well, what is a person supposed to do, but be honest and give a very queenly styled answer...'The cons are that If you live in a small home there might not be enough room, and the pros are that if you do, you learn to cooperate quickly.'
The audience was a bit more entertained than I had intended.
Needless to say, I am thankful to have some space.
I think my kids are too. Although, Owen, my 7 year old- just today asked about the meetings that I go to... 'Why do you have so many meetings? Do you go have a meeting with yourself, huh?' (I had met with a reporter and his wife from the Finish American Reporter this morning at the studio.)
I can be reached by cell at 218-639-2251 for one of those meetings that I have with myself :)
....right off of HWY 71 in Menahga, MN

I dearly love to have meetings with myself. love the studio!
Thanks Sharyn... I think we both love meetings with ourselves... Care for some coffee?
Nice studio
I go to 8 hr 'meetings with myself' each night I go to work. Ocaisionally a resident will come join my meetings. (mostly it's me, myself & I). I love my meetings!
Oh and my midsummer candidate question was quite dumb, and my answer cracked up the whole auditorium. I didn't think I was that funny. Maybe I was just funny looking!
Oh my! Good for you... This is sooo scrumptious. First thing I thought of is you can breathe and your creativity has lots of space of fill! Sometimes just "elbow" room is self-limiting. Congrats, my friend.
..thanks Susie and Pat... enjoying the elbow room and 'meetings..Audrey..wish I knew what you had said...
I have to say that's probably one of the tidiest studios I've seen. Nicely organized, and I love the use of wall space as makeshift gallery when clients come to call.
Thanks Duane... we will see how long it lasts... I have storage in another room... but don't have everything moved over yet... hence the 'tidy' look... :)
