We are all busy every day... It is imperative to use your time well ~ so we can spend that extra time for our family and friends.
1. Make a "to-do" list every night before you go to bed. If you write it down, your mind will relax and you don't have to worry about forgetting!
2. Go through your emails in the morning. Delete the ones you do not need,
and respond to the ones you do need.
3. Prioritize. Get the important things done first. If you need quiet time for your calls,
be sure to make them when the kids are at school. Save the laundry
and other household duties for later in the afternoon.
4. Delegate. We all want to do everything ourselves. However, this is not productive, and it will wear you down. Focus on the big picture, and decide which items you can pass on to someone else.
If we get our work done, we will have more time to play!

A huge Thank You to Linda Blinn for the amazing article in Studios Magazine ~ Summer 2011. The issue is full of inspiration and ideas for your art and craft space.
Also in this issue is "Get Found on Etsy" which has great tips for all Etsy shop owners. On page 36, the article is titled "Color is Primary" and features my art studio from the beginning stages. In the interview, I talk about the planning process of my art studio / home office as well as advice and tips for designing a space in your home that suits your craft - whatever it may be.
If you are a blogger, and spread the word about my work, please email me at laura.trevey@gmail.com with the link - and I will be sure to give your blog credit
in my Thank You post!

If you do not have built in cabinets, where do you store your stuff? In keeping with my Vintage theme for the day, I love these storage ideas from the archives.
Don't you just love the suitcase idea?

I can be more productive in the day, if my home office is organized. Here are a few tips to ensure that your work space stays de-cluttered for you.
The more shelves and cabinet drawers you have, the better chance your office will be organized. My rule I practice daily is "Everything has a certain place."
At the end of each work day, be sure to put all items back to their specific spot. This will de-clutter the counter tops and you will remember where your items are
when it's time to use them again.
Utilize wall space. As seen here, I built a custom framed pegboard to hang my "works in progress" as well as some of my framed watercolor art paintings.
I love the Pottery Barn daily system which keeps me on track. The magnetic/ dry erase board calendar is my favorite piece.
Here it is in my studio.

How do you organize your jewelry? I love my decorative bowls, and I use them to keep my jewelry separated and in groups.
When I saw the above image on Emily Clark via Martha Stewart, I went right upstairs and took a photo of my Anthropologie bowls.
