THANKFULNESS
"We have so much to be thankful for..."
How often have you said that? Or maybe you think you need to say it more?
Every morning when I walk into ALTERED WING STUDIO I am overcome with thankfulness.
To be able to create for a living has helped me become a well rounded woman, in more ways than one :)
The sights, sounds and smell of our studio are alive with possibilities that are new every morning.
The finches are singing, Bernadette is sitting on the floor sorting beautiful gemstones that will very soon be a part of her mobiles or wrap bracelets, Viki is hammering away or torching something amazing, Kimberly is "futzing" around fluffing the displays or gluing and waxing a collage. Anne is asking "why" something works or doesn't work and then exclaims. "I'm SO EXCITED" as she puts her hand to something new. Janet is sewing away in the back making baby clothes and designing unique and one of a kind baby accessories and oh, can't forget the doggie clothes. My Mom is busy making sure everyone has what they need all while cleaning up after me and my daughter is busy designing her couture line. PURE BLISS. I sit at my work table (when its clean) and take it all in. No need to look up from my work to be a part of what is happening. Being there, in our happy place, we are all a part of something amazing.
We talk about new articles we just read or tell each other about the thousand pins we sent each other, because after all, by now we all hold doctorates in PINTEROLOGY. We laugh, cry and yes, get mad at each other sometimes. But that's the beauty of this place. We don't just create 'things'...we create relationships.
I'm profoundly thankful for our studio and all the woman who are there. Thankful, too, for the amazingly creative clients that frequent our happy place, helping us to make huge messes and build lifelong friendships and memories.
Indeed,
WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR
