my productive weekend.....

My garage on friday, full of ceramic equipment, and the unwanted from inside the house. Believe it or not, I have unloaded BAGS of stuff already to Goodwill. I know, I know. Oh Tara.
My new "mini-studio" in progress, after this busy weekend of garage attention. (Joseph took a truckload of stuff for his Senior Class Sale, and I have 6 boxes of stuff to sell on Craiglist) This is my little ceramic studio for now. Not much compared to what I had in Utah, but it's still heaven for me. :)

AND my car fits on the other side of this. It's true! I really did clean and declutter THAT much. Yay for me!!!

I also paused to do a little creative treatment. I can't really go for too long without doing some little touch here or there in my house. :)

I added some beaded pulls using a mix of beach glass from Spain, recycled jewelry beads, and my own glass beads.

I feel SO good after this weekend of "letting go"! I really can't explain how good it feels. Some of that stuff has been moving around with us for 13 years! THERAPY! My wonderful friend Alyse said "Everything you own requires energy to maintain". I discovered how true that is this weekend. I felt like a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders when Joseph drove away with his truck full of junk, and I turned around to see a clean and half empty garage. :)

Now I just need to get through tomorrow, planning my academic future with a school counselor, and continuing my attempts at potty-training a very defiant/stubborn/intelligent last-born.
