tour de room

[shaych_03]

it's not much, but it's shaping up to be "home"



So here's a little tour of my room so far... There are still a few things in storage, but for the most part, this is how it is.

Think of the room as a rather bulbous rectangle... not quite square, but not all long sides with short end caps. One wall is almost completely taken up with my mirrored closet doors...

but the rest of that wall, and the door, were just large enough for me to hang a few pieces of art, plus some of my jewelry.

along the wall shared with my door is a shelf full of my pagan/mystical artifacts/mineral collection. also one dresser and a chest of drawers, plus more art.

i have a window, and this is my view:

opposite the mystical stuff is my bed etc, plus another shelf and even more art, and another dresser.

special guest appearance by Cleo the cat in one of these pictures. and yes, that is a candle rack being used for a jewelry rack...

(poke 'em if you want to see details)









this is what it looks like when my older babies decide that it's bedtime:

(yes, the lump under the blue fluffy blanket is me - click it)





and of course, we have His Royal Fatness, Zhadosh, master of all he surveys, conqueror of the table, lounging in the sun:

this picture was taken in the craft room.

today, i got most all of the beads in place in the craft room. many of the boxes are still "bricked" (we taped stacks of boxes together in bricks to make them easy to move) but at least they are on the shelves.

tomorrow, more garage stuff... in fact, i may attempt a bit tonight, if i can go about it quietly...

i've been making jewelry since i was 15ish. i'm now 40ish. i still wear most of what i've made. this is not to include all my mom's stuff, plus our books, artwork collection (we enjoy art... especially fantasy art) and the massive collection of "crafts" stuff that includes the jewelry business and mom's fabric.

21 days. that's 21 full days, from early morning til early morning... i was getting around four to five hours of sleep a day, on an average.

the rest of the time was packing, loading, unloading, etc...

and we purged a massive, massive pile.

and we have more to do... sadly, we are packrats... i'm trying to let go of that, but mom enjoys her things. me, what i hold dear would probably fill the back end of a pick up... because furniture? i don't really give a crap about, but the things i've made? yeah, i love those.

Looks like things are coming along nicely. The kitties seem so happy, too. In fact, I do believe their universe has returned to normal and they are once again rulers of the roost. :)

Lookin' good, Shay!

thank you. as i finish other rooms, i'll post pix ... i'm kind of proud of having some organization ... for a long time, i couldn't find anything because things got shoved and moved so much at the old place. i like going into the kitchen and being able to find a glass or fork easily lol.

I am also moved by the "some" of your jewelry... once you're rested, have you thought of figuring some spots to sell some again?

and wow, those kittehs want their space!

believe it or not, the jewelry in my room is all my personal stuff. the business stuff is in the craft room and in storage right now.

once we get the place a little less looking like box kingdom, you should come over :)

[ariestess]

Fabulous! And omg, I second the comment about the jewellery: looking great!

i am my own advertisement. i never leave the house without something on. i hope, over the next few months, to create a full documentation of both what i have for sale, and what is "personal" and put it up on the web.

and thank you :) i want to create a space that is creative, chaotic, but also restful...
