After seeing how many blooms were on our peony bushes this morning,
I felt they were giving me permission to clip a few to enjoy indoors
at this time of year I love being able to rely on my own little English Country garden to supply posies for indoors & brought out a few vases to fill for the kitchen, family room, living room and studio ♥
which is where my next "to do" item was on my list ... upstairs to the studio.
I have had quite a few projects going on at once recently (completed now I am happy to say)
which resulted in creating a bit of a mumbled mess!
things began to look much better in no time.
But of course, as I was going through beads and trinkets I started thinking of new ways to incorporate them :-)
I purchase brown paper shipping paper by the rolls - I love using it for tons of purposes, one of my favourite being covering my art table.
It feels lovely and fresh when I pull the roll down to cover the table.
Perfect for jotting down ideas as I sit and paint and/or craft... because that is when more often than not the ideas come :-)
that, and I am such a doodler!
It is so economical and makes clean up a breeze.
When it's time to change the paper up, I like to have a look at all that's jotted down ... all the little sketches and thoughts, splatters of paint ... all that's happened in Sparrow Studio ♥
working on some exciting projects ...
hope to share SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.
must remember my own words

Excellent idea about the paper covering your work area. I often purchase CHEAP plastic tablecloths so my waterry mess doesn't soak through to the table. I might try your style sometime soon. It sounds like lots more fun.
Love your doodles!!
They are far more than doodles:)
hello lisa ~ so nice to see you have visited today ♥ will stop by to see you soon.
thank you Monique ♥ you can tell this is a fresh sheet of paper :-)
What a great idea to cover your table and make it your canvas of ideas. You would think of that my friend! I sure wish I could doodle like you :))))
much love...
What a fantastic idea Deb!... I love it!... and I also love seeing all of your doodling and sketches... do you save the brown paper afterwards?... I would!... can't wait to hear all of your exciting projects you are sharing soon... so much fun to visit here always!... and your Peonies are just stunning!... xoxo Julie Marie

I love this time of year when I can rely on the garden to fill my home with flowers! Your peonies are lovely, Deb! Pick what you can before the rain destroys them. xo
thank you june :-)
hello Julie marie ~ once upon a time I saved EVERYTHING ... but the studio is only so big :-)
wild weather today with rain and heavy winds ~ not sure what the peony will look like tomorrow.
thank you Jeanne ♥
hi Lynda ~ wondering what the garden will look like in the morning after the wind and rain ... already wishing I had picked more earlier in the day!
