This past week has been sadly a bit low on the artsy/craftsy/inspirational and pretty high on the work, work, and more work. I guess when you have a week here and there of near-complete fun in which you travel around, see new things, get creative, and generally enjoy yourself, you’re going to have a few zillion weeks of work, work, and more work to offset… I did finally get to meet up with some of my knitting buddies again this week. Hopefully now that it almost feels like Fall (some days, anyway) we’ll get together more often.

But I’ve promised more of the artsy and the craftsy!

So, I’ve mentioned our studio more than once. It’s a totally self-indulgent thing from my perspective, and I’m not complaining. Here’s a peek at what I’ve done with my corner so far.

It’s mostly inspiration and collage with some sketches and photos thrown in. It’s a zero-pressure space for me.

We’ve done a little here and there to put the place together most weekends, and on good weeks we get in there in the evenings. It’s slowly coming together. (Yes, I am such a stud and put together my bookshelf and chair all by myself–ha!) Here’s Ezra putting together a sort of storagey workstation:

It’s evolving.

One of the perks of going over to the studio is that it puts us in the Union Square area. Lots of times we stop by the Independent for a drink or food after spending time in the studio, and sometimes, like last weekend, there’s some Somerville Arts Council thing going on. Last weekend we hit the Urban Country Fair as it was winding down.

I was telling Ezra that something about a lot of the Somerville Arts Council sponsored events reminds me of the circuses that you would try to put together as a kid (you know you did it). It’s like an innocent creative impulse with this faith in community and unquestioning confidence in one’s place in it… or something. But then, it’s sort of pretentiously un-pretentious, too. From whatever angle, it’s good that they do it.
