A few months back–probably around January–I started putting photos on the “wall” (really the backs of some cabinets) right beside my work table so I could look up to something for inspiration while working. I wanted to remember good times, and recall the reasons why I work so hard.
Around January, with the work not even half-done.
I think looking up to something, having a pretty space with things that inspire you–is a key to being more productive. I like to remember why I work, why I dabble in the crafts, and look at things that make me happy. An organized space with reminders of things and people you love, and goals you’re working for, really helps.
I started working on the “wall” collage after these Choo Choo Cat postcards I ordered finally came in the mail. I love these kitty-can characters and I think looking at something cute really helps lift your mood up!
