Rested, refreshed, and ready to go

Hi everyone, how are we all? Hope you had a wonderful holiday season - I've had a lovely break and now it's back into work mode and time to tackle all the projects I've been planning. Throughout the holidays, it's been busy as usual around here - a whirlwind of exam results, graduations, university applications, job interviews, birthdays....and that's just the kids. Exhausting! I'm looking forward to getting back to work - I really need the break.<br /><br />My first job is to completely redesign my studio space. As I've mentioned before, I'm very messy when I'm creating. Try as I might, I just can't seem to keep everything tidy and organized. So I'm kicking off the year with a plan - storage, storage, and more storage! Of course, that involves research, and I've been collecting ideas, images, and inspiration wherever I can.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Nph79wwdRbWidTRvlitoRz793Cr0C83BWE7rWGpAsOTqZm81PvLLjM_67i-KLtfHFEhBTeQgYoj-Rq06a7OCKePwDkNoghkW6Zu_-pWelanP3SS1l12U4B9Cj8gPKRanzgvNP7eN3Pxa/s1600/studio1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="560" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Nph79wwdRbWidTRvlitoRz793Cr0C83BWE7rWGpAsOTqZm81PvLLjM_67i-KLtfHFEhBTeQgYoj-Rq06a7OCKePwDkNoghkW6Zu_-pWelanP3SS1l12U4B9Cj8gPKRanzgvNP7eN3Pxa/s640/studio1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;">Look at that light!
