Monday Motivation 2/23/2009

Monday Motivation

My 5 year old granddaughter spent the last 8 days with us while she was on school break, so needless to say, not much work got done in the studio! A lot of what we did involved boa feathers, paint, and dress up, so little glasswork got done :)

So - today is Monday, new start to a new week, and I'm totally psyched to be spending the day (and week) in the studio. I have many, many new sheets of glass and my brain is on overload with new possibilities. I'm ready to restock both my shops at http://willowglass.etsy.com/ and http://willowglass.artfire.com/

What's your motivation for today? First I need some fresh brewed iced tea and then I'm headed down to the studio. Have a splendid motivated Monday!

Still lots of white stuff in the Northeast

There's still quite a bit of snow here in the Northeast, so I thought I'd use it to my advantage and see if I could get some good pictures with it as a backdrop.

The weather is supposed to be warming up a lot today, so I'll have to snap quickly! Luckily these can be taken right outside my studio door, so I'm not tramping a lot of wet snow and mud through the house (nah, I'm not a huge fan of washing floors!)
