You may have noticed I’ve been a little…lax about posting this last week or so. Well, there’s good reasons.

Ch-cha-cha-anges are a brewin’.

Oh my sweetums, SO MANY good things happening in Arty Life land these days! Good things! Uber good, super good absolutely freakin’ AWESOME good things!!!

This is the week ALL the construction loose ends get wrapped up in the new! improved! Studio Grande! At least the interior. The part I need to be finished so I can move in and make it my work place home.

I am SO excited!

But to get there we’re going through the storm before the calm. Oh indeed we are. You cannot walk anywhere in the house without seeing the chaos that will morph into studio orderliness.

This is what the living room looks like right now. Imagine those drawers in the studio. Loaded with art supplies in an ORDERLY manner. Sigh… I can’t wait.

I even bought drawer organizers.

I don’t have to wait much longer. This is Mr. Spouse doing manly things involving the soon to be major suck exhaust fan. The fan that will be my best friend when it comes to stinky art stuff.

The slate that will be the windowsills and firesafe back splash for encaustic land. Because building the studio is Mr. Spouse’s project. His art. And I’m not complaining. And the tiles will be beautiful splashed with beeswax, don’t you think?

While all these changes are going on in studio land, changes are going on with Arty Life too.

Oh. My. YES!!!

I’m in the process of adding a store and lots of art. You can see the progress on that if you click ‘latest art’ up on the nav bar. Still figuring some details like shipping and the boring behind the scenes stuff so it will be a couple of weeks before it’s operational. And I’ll be adding prints as well.

There will be price points for every budget.

Including FREE!

Yep, I’m going to add some freebies for download!

And that’s not all…oh no, my sweetums, not hardly…I have a BIG surprise!!!. Yes. I. Do.  But like all surprises, I CAN’T TELL YOU. Not now. You have to wait.

So to do all that, I’m taking the next week off. Off from posting, that is. I’m going to be working my tail off. Finishing the studio. Moving in. And making some MAGIC happen here in Arty Life Land. Like I said, SURPRISES!!!

So come back Monday after next (July 9) and check it all out.

I can’t wait to share it all with you!
