I like working in the sunroom, but sometimes it's a hassle bringing tools and toys up from the studio. I was reading The Decorated Page, a how to book about keeping an art journal. The book had a suggestion about keeping a set of items so if you wanted to journal on the go, you could without hunting up the items you needed. With this in mind, I went on a trip to Michael's to buy some items like watercolor pencils and markers. While there, I found this wonderful tote. On sale! It has tons of pockets to hold pens, pencils,paints, inks, etc. It has large inside pockets to hold a book, a cutting mat, and my current WIP. I'm working on a journal to document my weight loss journey. Now I can sit in the sunroom and work to my heart's content. If I'm arting,
I'm not eating!Now if only I could organize the studio space as efficiently!
Do you have a vocation or avocation that you like to be portable? How do you tote the supplies you need?
Does your talent ever rest? :p Aloha CJ! Long time no comment! Thought I'd drop in on you...hope all is well with u and ur fam. Congrats on losing the 5lbs. Stick with it! as for toting things. I dislike carrying ne thing with me. I don't even like carrying a purse, bag or wallet. I like my hands free and don't like the feel of a bag slung over my bod!!! That's what the men are for, to carry my sh!t! lol....isn't that what God made them for? :D Miss u! Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThe laptop and laptop bag go with me nearly everywhere. Write on the road...that's what I love. :)
ReplyDeleteFinding the perfect tote is key and it looks like you've done it! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI fought all year to find the perfect "bus bag". Finally found it this spring. It's the perfect size to fit the blanket and pillow. As for going, I usually have to bring a school bag anyway, so I keep a "perty" notebook and sep. pen /pencil holder filled with my favorites.
They both live in the LR magazine rack, so they can be quickly dumped in when going somewhere...
