Today we want to invite you in for a little peek at what a regular day in our studio is like. On Tuesdays we all work in the studio. We work on DIY projects and photo shoots for different articles for A Beautiful Mess. Our studio space never stays clean for long... it's usually a mess.
Emma had a lot of e-mail to answer today. She usually does. Kinsey and I started a rug DIY a few weeks ago. It wasn't turning out very well so today we started over. That happens sometimes. We figured out a much smarter and more durable way to make the rug. I'm excited to see how it turns out!
We always chat throughout the day while working on our separate tasks. We like to work as a team. Some days I work in the studio alone and it's not as fun. Not at all...
Kinsey helped develop a wood burning idea with Emma today. It turned out really cute, but took a lot of testing. Wood burning is cool. It smelled a little bit like a camp fire in our space all day. We are always trying to learn something new. While Kinsey was working on this we thought of three more ideas to try next week. We love little experiments because you never know when you'll stumble on something amazing.
I spent the day developing an idea that's been on my list for a while. Sometimes ideas sit on our lists for six months or more before we are able to execute them. We just started talking about September blog content in the last few weeks. I'm not sure if you would expect that or think it's weird... we work pretty far ahead, but not as far as a magazine. (luckily!) We love A Beautiful Mess. Each day is filled with projects and even though they aren't always winners, we are always learning. XO. elsie
I miss having best friends to be creative with! We recently moved, and while I'm loving our new home, I'm missing my old friends... It always amazed me how many awesome ideas I would have just hanging out with them!

I need to write more blog ideas down as they come to me. If not, they are like a fleeting moment lost forever.

Since I have worked every job with my gorgeous wife, and plan on working every future job (hopefully self employed) with her, I know just how amazing working with family/friends can be! Y'all are so lucky! Sounds like you have a fabulous time together, working on what y'all love!

You girls are an inspiration. Well done for creating a life for yourself, doing the things you love and sharing it with the world.

Planning ahead is so crucial if you have a lot of ideas and are really busy. I bet it's a lot of fun to work as a group!

Love you guys!

Thank you ladies for this peek! Honestly, I envy you a lot! Would love to have some creative friends around. It is not that I do not have creative friends but they live far away and we never meet to create something together. Perhaps when children are bit bigger... Have a nice day!
