Monday's Table

What's on the table today?

A mess.

I got this very cool printer's drawer many years ago and have been lugging it around ever since, waiting for inspiration to strike. Yesterday, it struck. I dug it out of it's dusty garage-abandoned home, and washed it off. And washed. And washed. It was gross. I wish I had taken real Before pictures, but the abundance of dead spiders might have scared you all away. So I'll have to content myself with a During picture. Here the drawer sits, in all its compartmentalized glory, scrubbed and sanded. I've started filling the little boxes with pretty paper, preparing it for its new life as a holder-of-tiny-things. Making and gathering the aforementioned Tiny Things is my idea of great fun.

The worktable also holds the Bucket-O-Blanks,

wherein next week's dollies await their fate.

Later today I'll assign them an identity, draw on them,

and add them to The List.

Last week's mayhem. . .

. . .turned into this week's menagerie-

Something I read somewhere which has always stuck with me-

"Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit."

I like that.

I think that when a balance is managed

between Chaos, Order, and Habit,

then Creative Productivity is achieved.

Balance is always the tricky part,

don't you think?
