What's wrong with this picture, besides the obvious need for organization and more storage containers??
and a sneaky peek at a new design!!I think I have to start organizing my weeks better. Monday, Tuesday I can paint....Wednesday and Thursday is Sewing..Saturday should be book keeping...yuck! And Sunday reward day!
Sunday will be reserved for experimenting and making things for family, friends and me, with a bit of gardening thrown in.
Do other people have a work flow routine that they stick too, write me a line or two in my comments and I'll do a post about it.
Also book keeping how often do you do it and what is the best method for you? I've downloaded a template from Etsy to help with my book keeping but I'm still not convinced it is the best method.

I wish I had a schedule, but I just work in dribs and drabs which is completely unproductive.
I usually only do my book keeping every quarter, and as mine is very simple, I just use an axcel spreadsheet.
I would also love to know if anyone else has some whizz bang tips!
I tried to have a schedule but have failed miserably. Originally, I was doing my bookkeeping every Sunday night but now it is every quarter and I am SO behind. Tomorrow is the day that I have put aside to do it all for the last quarter. It's all in MYOB but it still takes time to reconcile it all. I think because it is SO boring, it is the last thing to ever get done.
Oh poo sounds like we are pretty much doing the same thing. We need a manager/accountant that will work for the love of art and craft!!!
What is wrong with the room? I don't no. It would be easy to knok up a quick shelf from three pieces of wood cut for you by your nice hardware man and a ouple of decorative brackets. That way you could have a shelf right over the back of your table for all the nions, etc that need to be near at hand. Sorry, can't help with the paperwork. I simply refuse to do it. Cherrie
great workspace! So what do you do on fridays??
I have no rhythm, rhyme or reason to the way I create.. I cant keep to any schedules to save my life!!
happy sunday!

thanxx,have a nice day: mazsu
I don´t believe in schedules... But anyways, book keeping on saturday, that doesn´t sound like a too good idea - saturdays being ruled by Saturn, which tends, in my experience, and if not special care is taken against it, to make one slightly bilious... So, my suggestion is: playful, pleasant creating on saturday...! :)
love love!!
Mazsu mentioned your blog, your dolls and it's beautiful. It's always nice to meet other incredible artists.
Come visit sometime!!
Cats and their boxes..I swear, I leave a box open and the min my back is turned one of the cats is living in it.
The only thing I have a clear routine is with paper work..Get it done by Friday..But overal there is no routine unless I'm dealing with a client.
I love your cat - and I love Tony Bear! and I love lavender soap! Just blogged about him....
Thanks Grace :O)
LMAO - Yve thinks your messy - so do I , and I think it's first class! messy studios rock! :O)
tee hee
Oops, you know I'm messing don't you?!! (excuse the pun) Hope you're not offended in any way!!
Work space looks great, user-friendly! There's nothing quite like getting one's lady cave in order for the start of Spring!
thank you again everybody for adding you words of wisdom.
Not at all offended Abi....dare you to show us your working studio!!
'Lady Cave' I love it maybe I should make a sign above my door:)
Just to add, I haven't kept at all to my work plan so far:-O
schedules huh? well, lets see. play it by ear...but i think something is whispering that is should be more planned. i keep thinking every day that i should start keeping track and be a 'real' shop on etsy. so far....sell, send, make some more. rhymes and reasons can be useful sometimes i guess. lots to think about.
since im just a teen my room is my studio, and my bed and floor are my work bench so my room looks like those pictures plus laundry and textbooks and things all thrown in. that also means I don't book keep yet either. i used to be very neat and organized (and kept a schedule for the important stuff) but somewhere around age 13 (16 now) that went right out the window.
