Organizing the studio, the garden, the basement, the house in general. Plastering, painting, spackling ~ in general getting an idea of what needs to be done before we rent the place out. It feels so good to get those things done. When we were house-hunting we'd often hear owners say, Why did I wait so long to do all these things, only to move? I don't feel quite like that, just like we're cleaning up in a marvelously tidy way as we go.


I am so ready for all of this. Tim uses the word nesting about 4 times a day to describe me. But it's more like un-nesting. I think I'm about to fledge.


Overhead the hawks and crows and sparrows fly by with twigs in their beaks. They know it's time for them, too.

it is a perfect time to be moving... seems like spring is opening her arms to you both... so inspiring to see your work space!

and a thought on tidying-up. i concur with all those home owners. our house is a constant work in progress anyway... we have the "big" list and then the "small" list. but there is always a "list" no matter the season :)

jojo :: Spring IS a perfect time to move! I am a big list maker too. I stopped for a while recently but am now back on it. We have house lists that are 'fresher' and 'staler.' And we've been working on the 'stale' list. Ahhh, so nice that's it's becoming shorter! So satisfying.

Spring seems like the perfect time to nest and move.

I have adopted the concept of nesting for myself. I added a slot to my calendar for Friday mornings, titled "nesting". The idea was that it would inspire me to do cleaning tasks that I ordinarily put off, though now I also use it for general cleaning. It makes it so much more fun! I love thinking of myself as working on my nest.

I'm so happy I stumbled on your blog! How fun, we're settling in to a new place. In Pennsylvania if you could have guessed it :) Greetings from the King of Prussia area.

I've been busy tidying up my nest too! Rob has been busy building new birdhouses for my backyard friends. I love watching them build their nests.

It was nice taking a peek into your workspace. Great light!
