Making time for the studio can be a challenge. Here is how I plan..
I choose time each week to devote to being in my studio. Tuesday evenings and usually early Saturday and Sunday mornings while Jason sleeps unless we have adventures planned.
Between these times I prep myself and my space for the time I have in there so I’m ready to work when I turn the lights on with focus on the menu.
This may mean getting new fabric washed so I am not trying to do that in the precious hours each week I give to creating. It might mean folding fabric and getting it out of the way. It could be tracing new pieces or setting things up a little differently so that when I get there everything is ready to go. It all happens in snippets with the goal being ready to sit down and create when I have larger amounts of time.
I’m thinking ahead to make the most out of my time. Planning..
The prep also keeps me connected to my work without also feeling resentful that I have 10 hours a week at best most weeks to make art.
