like night and day

Ahhhh
can you see it?

the desk... :o)

I even made room for my little photo tent! So I have officially moved out of the dining room.

I love this photo. It's of my mother, when she was 16 years old (I think). Bright red hair and turquoise earrings. She's so beautiful in this picture. She has always been the one person who inspires me the most and I like to think that even though she lives so far away that with this photo she somehow can be there with me when I create.

Nova of love have finally found a home. No more fabric petals all over the house. Now I have a designated space for it. I bought a countertop (well I think it's actually a door or something) from as-is (IKEA) for $2 and Antonius frames and drawers and wire bins. Total cost for the desk and some storage boxes was not more than $50. I thought that was pretty awesome.


I did it! Wiped off every surface and didn't kill myself while inhaling dust :o)

It took the whole weekend but it was worth it. I finally have a space that makes more sense. I know where everything is and it's nice and clean again.

And I managed to get some more inspiration into the studio. Some pretty things that makes me smile.

I feel amazing!

What do you think??? for more photos check out my Flickr site

lots of love ~tess

  7. Hej! Hittade hit via en länk på hanmadedivision-bloggen och har haft kul när jag har surfat runt. Gillar stenarna. Ser även ditt lilla "fototält" och blir grön av avund... har svurit ve och förbannelse ett ANTAL gånger över mina egna foton. Därför undrar jag över om du köpt eller gjort "tältet" själv? Var? Hur? Och vad är det för lampor? Ser på etsy att bilderna blir jättebra i alla fall, och det lockar ju en del... ;)

I treasure your words and the fact that you are
taking the time to share them with me.
Please forgive me if I don't respond personally to you.
I always try but sometimes time just flies away!
