All hail the mess.
Tags:Take a look at my life. Most of you know I am a self-proclaimed organized person. Does this look like the space of someone who prides themselves on having things in their place?
No.
But you know what? It is a sign that I am working! That I am busy. That I am producing and creating and living. And the proof is everywhere around here - spilling (or puking as we tend to call it) out of my studio and onto the table and couch in the dining area. Maybe it is a sign that I am embracing the side of my brain that dreams of creative chaos. That sees the life in the mess. The beauty in the creative motion of messiness.
So three cheers for messiness.
And what am I lovin in my messiness?
And ALL these. Seriously. YUM.
And you know I am obsessively cleaning it all up right now don't you? That I can only stand it so long...
And DD has created a blog. You go. You know you are one of my favorites. All I have to say is tater tot.

If I had that much stuff, I don't think I'd be able to organize it either. Ya better get organizing before CK does their next workspace article!!

Nice to see the real Ali there! ;) I'm the same way though, one huge mess and then an obsessive clean up (ahhh!). Hope you're having fun with all your new goodies.

Love it that you'd post your mess! I find myself coveting some of it- so if you like to clean up let me know.
