A Mountain to Move All By Myself and a Giveaway Announcement

Norm Abrams in a
home workshop.

Many of you who have been reading my blog have heard me refer to "my workshop" often as a place that furniture and stuff goes to that I am not keeping in my house.  A workshop sounds real fancy and all well-thought-out, I know.  It sounds like a place where awesome equipment rules and the lighting is bright.  It is a place that magic takes place and transformations happen.  

Well.....the truth is, my 'workshop' is nothing more than my semi-converted garage.  It has been operating as a 'chill room' for my kids up until the last month or so.  The problem was, there hadn't been much chillin' going on in there and I needed the space to throw all this sh--, well stuff into.   I call it a workshop by default.

Gotta get the Ikea sofa OUT!



To make matters worse, my actual home studio is a complete disaster because of this.  Stuff that should be in a workshop is crowding out the studio and making a cluttery mess of nothing.  

So here is the rub.  I have to figure out how I am going to get this organized with no help.  Yep.  No help.  Move all this heavy heavy stuff with one cart and nobody.  Makes me wonder if the dream of having a business of my own is possible.  I see all these people out on the blogs taking their stuff to shows, setting up shops in malls and retail spaces.  Just how do these people physically pull this off?!!!   I even gave away a relatively new Ikea couch and couldn't get anyone to pick it up to clear it away!! 



I rarely see a mention of the behind the scenes work to getting this stuff accomplished.  It is like there are magical elves out there helping everyone but me!!  So, if you are reading this and you can point me in the right direction to find these happy helpers, I would be so appreciative!! (wink)

 

On a side note, I am about to hit 100 followers and am planning my very first giveaway! Yeah!  I have a sweet little something to giveaway and I am making it simple without all the hoops to jump though to enter!  Details to follow in the next days....
