save the date {studio renovation countdown} ☠ {renov #31}



i have difficulty focusing on what needs to be done still in our house. even as i’ve set myself the date of high summer for my studio to be back up and running, i know, in my ♥ of ♥♥♥, it’s going to be a struggle. experience teaches me the hardest parts in renovation work are:
☠ simply showing up, 
☠ self-discipline to achieve what you have envisaged, 
☠ strength to make it all happen.
·



did i say struggle? we don’t want no struggle! 
·
☠ so i got to thinking, what if i gently urge myself towards a mild weekly scheme, and accordingly blog about the progress? it’d give you, sweet reader a bit of an insight in the why’s i’m still at it, 
☠ it’d give humble me the boost to execute what needs doing, right? 
·
right.
·



no, really. 
·
you’ll all be the biggest help, the proverbial big stick, for those darkly difficult moments when task and effect seem to be eachother's enemy, as in rather being committed to chaos than a logical order of result. 
· 
looking after an other is so much easier than looking after oneself
·
and alas! this house, sometimes, feels like me.
·


so. buckle up for a front row view, here’s where it’s gonna happen. i cut myself some slack by staying vague on finishing either july or august. by means of an invitation to party, already save the date though; we’ll get to it, if it's the last thing! 
·
let's baptize the effort our weekly dose of espial. {probably around mondays}.
·
thank you for reading... 
... and for serving as proverbial stick!

  5. Last week, the same type of thinking visited me! I said to myself that if I do just ONE box per day, my life would be slowly improved...because in one month I'd have done thirty of them. Either sorting, or throwing out a whole box full of stuff (art supplies/junk,) or combining two boxes into one, etc. And after the one week I can see progress...and it keeps me going. So I am a fan of this kind of thinking. I look forward to standing at the sidelines and cheering you on with the rest of the crew! Hugs to you, N, xo

  8. goed idee liefje en o boy ik kan je zo goed begrijpen.
    hoe zeggen ze dat weer, dat de reis belangrijker is dan de eindbestemming, wel, kan zijn, maar in dit geval wil je gewoon de eindbestemming en van daaruit verder 'reizen'.

    ik volg je stappen en weet dat je er geraakt, go for it!
