I finally finished! So, for this week, I am sharing the makeover and an Intimate tour of my creative, boho, studio. A cosy art & reading space, aka. my 'nook!" A place just for me to write, sketch, read books, paint, ponder & journal. And... as always, with a little help from the fairies! Lols! 'We' organised all the art supplies, fined-tuned the desk area, added the finishing touches and so there are lots of tips and ideas.

BEST WISHES hope you are feeling well. I wanted to drop in and say "thank you" for your comment about tackling work like a school project. Something like that. I have been in a muddle. But I loved school and I loved school projects. So it really set me up... Ive got one of my journals and Ive started project pages so I get organised, collect information, costs etc and actually complete something!!! I have so many things that I would love to write about, create, offer for sale. But I was really struggling with the right lens. A school project planning and working through... it is a new exciting tool. p.s. You keep me company often. I suffer from panic attacks and so I put on one of your videos and have you in my space. It helps so much. Thank you for your work and light. x

Hi Wendy, your sstudio is coming along just lovely. Organization is wonderful when you reach for something and it's there. Drives my head crazy when things are not where i can find them. When i paint im messy so it helps to have supplies in place. And your studio has a lovely ambiance. All that is sacred isn't it. 🎨 Alot of artist's need to create a room that has a magical spirt quality where we create and get lost in what we paint. And your studio has that it looks like as you fine tune it. Love your light!!!!!

It seems to me you lost your mojo when you moved from your other studio into this little space. it seems to me you had a harder time organizing and re-organizing everything in the new smaller space. Instinctively you want to put your desk right up to that big window facing outside but I can see that that would not be a functional placement for your desk. I hope now you’ve got your mojo back

Wendy, the lights and a few drawings on the left “wall” of the nook was exactly what was needed. Balance, proportion, eye moves from the first light on the left to the last one on the right, and now takes in everything else! The canvases standing there, then the blank wall….it was bugging me but I didn’t know exactly why. What you’ve done has made the space look bigger, not smaller as you feared! The 3 “levels” work! The work surface, the added low shelf and the high shelf that frames the top of the space. I hope after using the space as it is now for a couple weeks you’ll be thrilled with the way it looks, and works now! I have rearranged my “sewing studio” too many times to count. Every time I hit on a few more good ideas, banish one or too, and stick with some that have always worked. As our work and creativity evolves, our space has to as well. The biggest ever overhaul of my creative spaces (mainly the sewing room, but I journal, read, collage in my bedroom, and hand stitching happens in a huge comfy chair in our family room) happened because of work that had to be done to our home. I had to empty the room completely, including the large closet . I can do a tiny bit of “art journaling or “wet work” on my cutting table, but prefer it outdoors,in open garage when weather permits & on my kitchen island when weather doesn’t permit. (I’m fortunate to have a huge garage and have some old kitchen cabinets that hold my fabric paints, sponges, brushes, etc.). I could relate to your sorting and organizing process, and the way you like your favorite supplies out & handy. One big question…..do you ever label anything? I put tags and labels on just about everything that gets tucked in a drawer unit (your “new” one is so cute), in a box or basket, or a plastic storage container. It is easy to scan for the container , verify with a glance at the tag, and then things get put back in their homes. I never write directly on containers, and avoid adhesive tags so I don’t wreck the containers. Then as my needs change, the tag goes with the stuff and the former container can house something new. This frees up my brain from having to remember where everything is. Enjoy your space, your painting, drawing, and art journals are all inspiring to me!

I love your new work space. I use glass blocks from the 1980's to prop up shelves. I also use them as bookbinding weights. Not sure how easy they are to find anymore. I also cover tin cans and plastic with natural burlap using a glue gun. Sometimes I add a vintage lace border from an old tablecloth. I also use circular empty wooden cheese boxes from soft ripened cheeses for bits and bobs. Amazon also sells a verticle pencil stand. Space saving and sorts my color pencils handily. Love your channel. You are as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn with a dash of Isadora Duncan. Of course there is only one inspiring you!

I love how you are making the nook work for you. Can you show how you use the larger books for journalling? Like the one your mum got and the other one that was gifted to you. I also have a gorgeous book that size that was gifted to me years ago and I’ve been keeping it for something special. I want to use it but not sure what for, as I don’t normally journal in a book that big and it’s filling all that space up that terrifies me along with maybe ruining a good book! Hope you have a nice relaxing holibob :)

Have you had your thyroid checked out? I'm concerned you may have hyperthyroidism. Your thyroid looks as if it may be enlarged. Many of the symptoms overlap with those concerned with the menopause so may not be obviously attributed to your thyroid levels. Anyway please do a bit of research and see what you think. Much love Brenda xx

Your journalling nook seems a very inspiring place to sit and work, Wendy. Thanks for letting us take a look at all your treasures and tools. One question that popped up as you were talking about crayons and pencil sharpeners - do you use bog-standard sharpeners, or something more special? I can never seem to get a sharp point on any of my crayons, especially the Inktense and I wondered if I needed a special sharpener? And, I have been told you should change your sharpeners regularly as they go blunt quite quickly. I would value your opinion on this? I do hope you are enjoying the beach and the book and it is refilling your cup as you hoped. Much love to you and James xxx

Have you considered putting a fake top on the table but cut it to fit right up to the window? It might give just enough extra space for that well earned cuppa and prevent spillage off the edge. Just an idea. Thank you for sharing all your ideas xx

Love it. I'm in the process of reorganising too. It is daunting, as I've moved from a studio and office space seperate, to both on the original studio space. It definitely still needs work as the computer portion is great, easel is too, but the art area is squashy. But I'm just grateful to have the space honestly and it won't be forever that I'm this squashed.

I am going through a tough time at the moment and have had no choice but to hand in my notice, I will hardly have enough money to feed myself and I have been so wronged. I wish you lived in Yorkshire so that I could come round for a chat. Though you have problems, you still forge ahead like a giant iron train going where you must go.

This is so helpful to see. I’ve thought my stuff should be all neat and orderly but then I lose everything! Now have several plastic boxes that fit together. Big mistake - don’t know what’s in them. All my best paints etc in one small bin. But does that mean I should get rid of everything else? It feels like I might be needing them at any moment.

Hey Wendy, Being a fellow lefty, I get some things you said about keeping stuff on your left side. Like you I also lose so many things and am a total klutz and knock over or drop things constantly. Ah us, what are we to do?lol. We just keep on and most of the time it's just like that. Only occasionally do I just lose it or freak out, yet I know from my own experience that I 99% of the time find it-them. I love your art and journaling nook--it's so cool, cozy, and cute Nice job, Wendy. The art on your wall is just beautiful. I hope there is a sneak peek when you finish a journal any time as I just love your journals and get tons of inspiration. Glad to see energy has returned and I love your art studio. I had one studio and more recently even commandeered another room in the house which had kind of turned into a way station for anything and everything that had no place to go (like frames and luggage and shredder and box after box. Ugh. Finally I was doing a messy acrylic painting session and since we had 2 otherwise unoccupied and unused tables at the time (and let me tell you they are very busy now cause I said to them, "no sloth behavior guys, C'mon.")lol. Now, they are doing their jobs most days as I bring in supply after supply to do various things from journals to colorful watercolors and mixed media. So fun to mess up and for that 2nd room, just shut the door if I'm not done in there. Ha! ☺️☺️☺️ Hope You did have a wonderful weekend this weekend. XOXOJane

Just a suggestion, replace the baskets that’s holding up the shelf on your desk with wooden pencil box, sometimes they are called pastel boxes. You could store all your colour pencils in them. When you need your pencils you can pull the draws out and place them on your desk. This is what I use on my desk, I have two of them either side of my desk with a shelf on top. I’m thinking of getting another two boxes on top so I can have another shelf. 🙂
