30 projects 8 weeks

I am a deadline kind of girl. It helps me stay focused and I have found it is really the best way to get my creative juices flowing.

Last week I hit a breaking point. Staring at the piles and piles of my potential projects was really starting to stress me out. The ideas were all there, it was the follow thru that needs a little jolt. So, instead of going with my first instinct of tossing it all out on MY curb, I thought of something a little more interesting. Restore 30 of my curbside castoffs into desirable and functional works of art in 8 weeks. Why 8 weeks ?...well ONE it is a do-able, yet challenging time frame, and TWO, 8 weeks from now is the Atwood Summerfest here in Madison, Sat July 25th. I am hosting a vendor booth and unveiling the entire collection at the fair. The timing couldn't be better. I am so excited to challenge my brain to come up with unique furniture, artwork, and various knick-knacs. I am going to do a decent amount of local publicity for this one too. I think the community will enjoy seeing how their trash has become inspired treasures.

Expect updates and sneak peaks thru out the 8 weeks, but in no means will my posts become a play by play of each project. That would stress me out even more. Besides, with all the fun summer things going on, you know I can't just limit myself to one topic.
