WOYWW - it's certainly different...

for the desk click here.

Just an observation:   I have a rule I follow that I won't start doing what I want to do before the housework is done.  

I like things clean and tidy even though we don't yet live in a conventional building, but I actually detest repetitive tasks, so housework is a real problem for me.

However, the vile tasks seem to get done very efficiently when I have my desk and more attractive work on offer, so I guess having my art space in the same building and in sight of the living space kind of works for me.

Because each stage of our renovations take a long time, it allows that breathing space to really reflect upon what our spaces are used for and how we want them to merge together or be physically very separated.  I am certainly now a huge fan of huge, one floor open place spaces - except when we have guests!  

I suspect everything after the barn living space is going to feel small...

  1. Oh how lovely....I read your blog each week but couldn't comment before. I do lots of crafting that will be loved and cherished when I'm gone but I like to see them enjoy them while I'm still here too.
    Thanks for visiting mine earlier and for your lovely comments.
    Hope you have a fab week.
    Hugs,

  3. Loving the "death pages" idea. Always hoped my Dad had left something for me after he passed away when I was pregnant nearly 19 years ago now. I think my journals will be like that for my son as I don't think he has really taken too much notice up to now. PS no problem with the Crop-o-dile II at all. managed 4 hearts at a time so wasn't too bad really. Thanks for the visit BJ#9

  5. I too am in the throes of reorganization and modernization of my house. New roof etc last year...$25,000 so this year I plan on redoing plaster in kitchen and living room! Always something. Thank you for leaving the post on my blog earlier. It is difficult times here in the USA and I keep hoping that the government does have enough checks and balances to carry us through this difficult time. Vickie #23
