A Dilemma or Three


The picture is of 'Teasels' a small Tapestry / Embroidery hanging which is going in to the show next weekend
1. Having started this up again, I realise that A Jura Journal is not coming from Jura! Should I start a new 'Barton Blog' and swap between the two?
2. Having made the decision to convert the garage loft into a proper studio raises more decisions. Go retro / reclaimed and paint everything white? Have proper custom shelves etc? Other people's studios ( I have a fab book) look great all retro, but mine might look a hotch-potch... Is it too anal to want things to match and to have a place custom made for everything? Free standing stuff is more flexible and better if we do move to the island within the next few years...
3. How much stuff should I get rid of? I am a terrible hoarder on the principle that 'It might be useful/ I might need it again one day. Should I be ruthless? all the dressmaking stuff could go, but what if.....
All this is just putting off some real design work..... And making an anniversary card for Man..... And doing post-holiday washing
