Ooops, that title sounds a bit like a chapter in a racy book! If that is what you are after, then don’t bother reading any further as I am definitely NOT writing, reading or featuring in any racy novel, the very thought would have me rolling in the aisles laughing.
However I am feeling very virtuous because my studio is now fairly tidy; at least I can walk around without falling over stuff, I can even see the occasional empty flat surface – something that has not been visible for the last 12 months. All this was made possible because my very good friend Erica Thomson came and spent a day with me clearing and tidying. I tease Erica because she is one of those rare people who love tidying up other people’s spaces. I loathe doing my own, let alone any one elses, in fact, I actively prefer other people to have messy spaces because it not only makes me feel better about my usual chaos, but it is much more interesting to poke around in when there is loads of stuff about. Anyway, she motivated me to carry on as I have a very good reason for wanting some space to work in. I need space not only for me, but for my best American buddy to come and play along with her daughter. So…… drum roll…… Linda and Mariah Peterson are coming to stay tomorrow, and I can’t wait, I am really excited. Linda is the lady behind the Art of Friendly Plastic Blog, and the Face of Friendly Plastic in America. She also works with polymer clay, metal and mixed media.
Linda has been in London doing the step by step photography for her new book in her series “Mixed Media Inspirations“, and she is finding the time to see a few people, including lucky me. Last time Linda came over we did not have enough time to really get in to playing, so on this occasion we have a bit more time and hopefully we will bounce ideas off each other, have some fun, and no doubt Mariah will have loads of ideas too. It is amazing the things you can come up with when there is more than one head on the case.
So watch this space.
Fabulous Liz, wish I could be a fly on the wall !!!!! Linda comes over as a very friendly, warm person in her videos, and I am sure you will have fun and come up with some real “WOW” projects to share with us.
Wow. What a tidy craft room, Liz! Can you please send Erica over to me in France so she can do mine?
I look forward to seeing some amazing creations on your blog in the next few days. Need somebody to help me tidy my craft space too!
Wow! Lovely Craft Room! I wonder how long it will stay tidy? lol
I am excited to hear that you and Linda are getting together to ‘play’ again, I am sure the inspiration from that time will be fantastic as ever! Enjoy!
Everyobody needs an Erica I think!
Linda is a lovely person, full of ideas and fun. We might be so busy that we don’t have time to blog, you never know!
Quel chance Liz j’espère partager avec vous et Linda le friendly plastic en France bises
Can I borrow Erica please? Your work room looks wonderfully well organised. I keep thinking that if I buy enough storage I will be tidier, but my room is full of boxes, drawers and overflowing bags of stuff.
Have a great time with Linda and her daughter and don’t forget to show us what you all get up to.
Have fun with Linda and her DD, I’m sure you will but tell Erica she could earn a good living circulating we crafters getting us in shape. What a grand job she did for you. She is a gem of a friend to have.
Look forward to seeing the end product of Linda’s visit with you.
Love Jo x
Wow, you have worktops lol. No chance of my room ever being that tidy!!!! Elizabeth x
