Our aim is to support all creative designers and events showcasing independent labels. MOTL is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation. You may wonder why we promote other markets besides MOTL; it’s because it’s not about us, its about you; the buyers and sellers of indie wares.

The Studio
Heather Bailey's studio.
Well, this week I have been religiously cleaning up my studio as part of of my action plan. As I always do, I swear to myself that it will never get into that state again... but it always does! Like many others, I just can't do one project at a time, I need at least 3 to start with. Go figure.
I wonder if Heather Bailey's studio is always picture perfect? Is that some 'junk' I see stuffed underneath the chair? ;)
So, I thought I'd start a topic on ways to get a bit more in control of our 'creative clutter'. And in the future I'd like to do a bigger post with all our suggestions put together.
What is your motivation and inspiration to stay clean/organised? Any tips for us? Please leave a comment!
Signed,
Renee

OOhhh gorgeous studio...i wonder how she makes everything look so sweet and neat and they don't look like they collect any dust either!
I always try to de-clutter and organise my work area every now and then. I usually know its time to clean things up when i can't find my mouse and keyboard under all the pile of papers!
Once everything is tidy, i feel a sense of accomplishment! hehe!

i think i would rather put my effort into making beautiful things than making my studio look cool. plus i'd be afraid to get messy creative if i was in that studio!
Very good points :)
I think it is impossible to be perfectly clean. It's not how the right (creative) part of the brain works! So, maybe that is why we always have that struggle. :)
Generally my studio gets so out of control it literally takes an intense week to clean it up. Hehe
Some small changes I will be making to make things not so messy:
1. Buy a new beading matt, so my beads do not roll off the desk.
2. Stall my main findings in an easily accessible container ad in a reachable area.
3. Install a magnetic knife strip for my small tools.
5. Clear out all supplies I cant see myself ever using.
