Welcome to my office!


Cozy, huh?  (And please tell me why I don't see all the little ickies when I'm taking the picture, but they jump right out at me the second I download a picture?  So please mentally turn that campaign chest around, flip the fringe on the blanket down and hide those ugly computer cords!)

The beauty of working from home is that when I'm not here, I'm right here in this corner of my living room in this little chair that just fits my kinks. Well, the times I'm not running around to the park, or the pediatrician, or the carpool line... Most of my day is spent taking care of my kids.  My work happens during naptime and after bedtime (gotta love that 7 pm to midnight shift, eh?)  I sort-of can't wait until I have an actual work day for work-- it will seem dreamily productive, I'm sure.  But of course, that will mean that my babies have grown up and gone to big kid school--oh, no, no more talking about THAT.  So for now, I'll fit it in when I can and do with a tad less sleep. 

I am going to have to spend the next few days on work-- I'm a wee bit behind (due to those aforementioned little hitches-- they ARE cute, though.)  I'm hoping to pop back in in the next few days with some pictures of our home.(Hint, hint:  if you're not already following the blog, sign right up so you'll know the very second I post something!)  We live in a wonderful old home-- 86 years young, with many lovely little corners I want to share, and some really big renovation and decorating nightmares that I sometimes don't want to think about.  But blogging is therapy, right?  So we'll talk it out together.  But for now, me and my cutting table have a hot date.  Hot diggity dog.

Your home is lovely and it's so nice of you to share bits of it. I'll add your site to my daily reads (on my blog roll), so I'll remember to stop by. Enjoy your time working at home. I work part-time (more like 3/4 time) and it's really hard to balance life with kids, work and all the crafty stuff I want to do. Have a wonderful new year.

So cute. And I love how you start this post...in fact, just this morning I was thinking how I'd like to post a photo or two from my house except for 'the fur on the floor'...may still do it, inspired by what you've written here :)

I adore your house (from the outside) & can't wait until I get it together enough to force my way in. & it is most challenging for me to get a pic I'm willing to throw into the blogosphere...BUT, I will say that leaves me with a very forgiving eye & chords are real-life authentic.

Lacey, I sit around all day in pajama pants I made from old bedsheets-- there is no gussying up required to come on in. Just ring the bell--oh, wait, I put up a sign saying don't ring the bell or I'll throttle you for waking up my kid-- so knock gently. It's usually quite a mess in here anyway...
