METAMORPHIS OF GRAMMIE LOIS'S OFFICE

Hi everyone,

First of all , I would like to apologize for not posting as I did before. It's been a while. Life's ups and downs interrupted.  I have to move again through no fault of my own. I have been packing and pre-moving things to storage. Even had to get another bigger unit for my bed. California King takes up space. I got it from Freecycle. It is sooo comfy. But now it is in storage and I am sleeping on the floor until I find another place to live. Hopefully in July.

Another reason I am pre-moving is that I will soon have SLT eye surgery for my glacoma. First my left eye, then when that heals, I will have the right eye done.  I certainly don't want to think about moving during that .

Second, during the past few months, I have been inspired by many people to revamp my office. Ms. Annie Bella from Corner of The Bedroom Studios and Latrice Murphy from All Occasion at Fave Craft made me rethink my space and purpose. Somehow my craft , sewing and research area  turned into a library of research with no space for anything else. I do not need 4 bookcases of research plus notes.

When I lost my printer due to a roof leak  during a major storm before the Halloween snowstorm I began to write notes. It was during a bout of entering the notes  into my genealogy program that I realized I had triplicate notes.   Note taking so many times  also hampered my story writing.  That system will also be revamped.

So with the event of a new place to live, I am going back to being organized and label everything. My creativity has been stifled far too long by my 'chicken scratching' which I call my notes. Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon  , my creative, artistic self will be emerging. The library will be 1/4 or less of the room or incorporated into my sewing and craft areas.

Praying that this happens soon as my life seems to be currently in storage units. I'm also praying that I win the lottery. :)

So far now I will end. Hopefully you are keeping cool during this 100 degree heat.

Until next time,

Lois
