Removing Obstables in the Creative Process

For me the creative process is spontaneous (and often messy). Since moving in our first house in November I've found that I'm spending a lot less time making jewelry. There are many reasons for this, first and foremost being that we have a house to take care of now :) However, after realizing that my overwhelming urge is to be in the same room as my hubby (hence our choice of a house with an open floor plan downstairs) and accounting for the fact that my craft room is upstairs (where we spend very little waking time), I decided to remove one barrier to my creative process by setting up a small workstation in my dining room along the half-wall looking into the living room area.

Now my tools and supplies are within reach when the urge to make jewelry strikes :)I've already made a bunch of new charms and a fantastic new necklace I hope to have pics of soon.
