I have been on an organizing kick. And I credit Alyson Stanfield's online "Organize Your Art Biz" for it! 

You saw what I did to my office and systems in this blog post. And my desk still looks exactly like that.
cleaned and organized studio
bookcase and bins to organize upcoming workshops and classes

I used to keep my magazines in these green boxes
 (I gave all the magazines away)
and now keep supplies neatly on my shelf.

Honestly, the label maker thing made a huge difference for me. Labeling, attractively and artfully, really helps get and stay organized.

I've even organized my kitchen cabinets too! Really, Alyson Stanfield's online "Organize Your Art Biz" made a big difference in the way I live.  

And just to remind you how far I've come, look at 
THE BEFORE of my studio, from July 28, 2013 in this video:


(Yes, the link for Alyson's class is an affiliate link, but I wouldn't say any of this if I didn't totally mean it.)

  2. I love it! Your studio looks so inviting, Jane. What an inspirational place to work in. And I really, really like the labeled hang-tags. I may steal that idea from you...

  3. Looks great Jane. I'm chipping away at my "studio" organization but it's kind of a whole house studio so progress is slow. I like your bagged and labeled projects in progress. What thought process allowed you to give your magazines away? I have too many that I treasure.
