my small space....
I needed to send Pip a photo of my workspace for her in -the- works-book project.
Yes, well......
Now usually when people come to visit, I make a point of keeping the
door to my 'office' shut. It's not so much that I am a messy person -
it's just the that the amount of stuff in there far exceeds the
actual space available to store it neatly.
Add to that the fact that
when we moved in over three years ago, I was about 33 weeks pregnant
with Charlotte ( who then arrived at 36 weeks) so I wasn't really able
to sort it all out to begin with. It is really only in the last month
that I have found the time to start organising it a little more
efficiently. Basically this meant pulling it all out and then putting
it all back in ( less quite a few boxes that went off to the op shop.)
I really should have taken a before photo but didn't bother as I knew I
would never post it for all to see ( and be horrified by) anyway!
So all you get to see is the after....
I adore your working space! I would like to have one so nice, but I have to conform what I have. Kisses

That looks like a really cozy, handy place to work. And a big window view.. I allways love to look at other peoples' working spaces. I have an addiction with tiny boxes and storage things.

What a nice place, no wonder your are so creative or vice versa?! My Mum always said, that when you are starting to sort things out and clean and so on, you are preparing the nest for the baby. Take care!

What is in all of those white boxes?
I am so glad you shared this space with us. Now I can imagine you working away when you send me some files.
Keep nesting.

Neat little boxes! Very beautiful view you have! I need some shelves! My husband has work to do!

well, you did better than me. Mine was too messy and I didn't have the time or effort to clean it, so I just passed on some old photos to pip. do you label your boxes?
Posted by: Tiel | Tuesday, 11 March 2008 at 05:24 PM
Oh what an inspirational space. I love all the little boxes, that appeals to the little organized spirit inside me (that I rarely let out!)

I too got your zine yesterday morning! I can't believe it arrived in Scotland already! It really is beautiful - though I have always been a huge fan of your drawings and small people!!
Love your workstudio!! Beautifully light and airy!!
