Mom |
As I've mentioned before, my studio is very small. I recently got something that has really simplified my life even though, at first, I thought it would just add to the clutter. Here's the story:
Mom, who's turning 86 on Friday, has a habit of giving us things she no longer has any need for every time we visit. A few weeks ago, she gave me a cart she used for her oil painting. She has given up oil painting in favor of knitting Afghans for her great-grandchildren and making hook-latch rugs.
It's a great cart! |
I thought this cart was just going to be a nuisance in the studio. Instead, it has become my current favorite! I've put all my tools in it, which freed up a lot of counter space around my wheel (always a good thing!).
The cart is small (16" by 25"), has 3 shelves, and is on casters. When I need a tool I can easily reach for the cart and roll it towards me no matter what I'm doing or where I am in the studio.
