I'm still waiting on my Ikea delivery of furniture, which is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, in the meantime I've been on the look out for specific pieces to fill gaps and do jobs I wanted them to.
I found this wonderful ottoman/blanket box on ebay that opens from the front like a drawer. It was the exact height I needed not to invade the window area, hold my printer and provide storage for all my computer paper, postal envelopes, packaging and greeting cards etc...
Next I found some sea grass drawers. The tall set holds filled and empty journals (I have a shelf on my bookcase for all those in progress) The two smaller sets hold art materials by category; watercolour, pastel, coloured pencil etc... I'm hoping the Ikea drawers will be large enough to hold my acrylic and oil supplies.
The studio has an apex above the computer area which is framed by my pretty little star lights, an ideal place for a nice shelf to hold a few pieces of work and some studio 'nick nacks' that would usually invade my desk space.
And here I am amongst the stars...still unfinished I might add! One day!
I couldn't resist popping another studio view in, the sunsets this weeks have been glorious. We've had rain and dark clouds recently but the studio still remained light and airy.
While going through various heaps, I came across this piece painted in acrylic a couple of years or so ago. I had forgotten all about it.
Finally...
July starts tomorrow and I have signed up to the every day in July theme on Nablopomo which is FOOD. I hope you will all pop in and keep me company throughout the month.

The ebay seller of my problematic Moleskine replied to my email with huge apologies and promised to send a replacement asap, I'm hoping it will arrive on my doorstep in the morning (Fingers crossed!)
Failing that I'll have to have a rethink.
