Goodmorning y’all, and a special goodmorning and HAPPY NEW YEAR to Julia and all woyww-deskers! Since I still have this week off (yes, I took a little vaction from my job during the holidays) I thought it would be fun to write my first blogpost of this year on a Wednesday and join the good ol’ desk-community. My desk saw a lot of action last week but today there’s not much on the table (yet.) But I do have something to show ’cause last month I re-organized my atelier and created more space…<\/p>\n

In 2018, my beloved and I moved to a small apartment where we still enjoy living but we don’t have much square meters of living space. Therefore, my atelier served also as a guest room. One corner of the room was occupied by a bunk bed with a small bedside table and a bookcase separated that area from my workspace. (Most deskers will remember our move and the photos of my atelier that I posted back then…)<\/p>\n

However, the only guests who ever sleep over are my son and his girlfriend and they are still young… so I thought they wouldn’t mind to sleep on a mattress on the floor for a night or so when they come by. Luckely, they thought so too! Once that had been decided the reorganization could begin. Bunk bed out and look… a few meters of extra space where I can even store an easel, a thing I wanted for some time now and finally bought! Take a look:<\/p>\n

WOYWW 709<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

One side of my atelier didn’t change much…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… but it changed all the more on the other side! The bunk bed disappeared, the bookcase turned against the wall and look, all of a sudden there’s extra space!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And it didn’t stop with moving furniture around… after I created more space for myself I, of course, had to clean, declutter and sort out all my stuff! A big ‘clean-up’ action followed and now I’m ready for the new year…<\/p>\n

Ooo, I’m afraid this is going to be rather a long blogpost, ’cause I also have some art journal spreads to show. These are the last spreads in my Chronicles 2022 art journal:<\/p>\n

Chronicles 2022 – Week 48<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chronicles 2022 – Week 51
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chronicles 2022 – Week 52
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You might notice that week 49 and 50 are missing… I didn’t make those week-spreads ’cause I got caught by the flu and when I got better, I had a lot to catch up on, so I decided to skip creating those spreads. I just tore out the notes from those two weeks out of my notebook and slammed them onto the art journal pages.<\/p>\n

The 2022 journal is now filled and finished and goes on the shelf next to the other 12 (!) Chronicles art journals. But of course I go on creating weekly spreads in 2023. Here’s the new journal that I bound for this year:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although there’s rain and heavy wind this morning, I am planning to make the most of today and I hope you do too! Thanks for stopping by.<\/p>\n
