I was working in my greenhouse this week and noticed one of my Amaryllis bulbs has a new shoot, I am sure it's the bulb I purchased last year with the white flowers, I am watching with interest to see if another flower grows.
My side of our desk,
Always with plants, and at this time of year, a seed tray.
My clutter corner, here things have to be useful or beautiful, the drawers below are so handy, I do like things to look neat, but I love this space.
I adore my noticeboard, it's full of memories, everything on it has a story, one item is from 70's before I had children.
Every morning I sit at my desk after breakfast with a huge mug of fresh coffee, I catch up with my blogs, and emails, and look online if I need to, these days I am also doing a few pages of my book as well. Our desk is a kitchen worktop placed along the window wall, I use the left hand side hubby has the right, this wall has a huge window, so we are flooded with light and the radiator sits below the desk, so it's warm as well. It's a perfect place to start my day, I worked in offices most of my life, so it's a natural place for me to be.
Having a room as an office for us is brilliant use of space, we both still have desktop computers, I used a laptop for years in work and still prefer the desktop, with wireless keyboard and mouse. So many plans have been started here, for our home, garden and craft, these days the internet makes it so easy to follow through with plans, so many places to look for everything you require. I keep most of my craft items in here, I don't have as much anymore, my yarn and fabrics are stored elsewhere, I even have a drawer marked children, which Will loves, he finds pencils, crayons and his own note book with lots of other fun stuff. I do like to have things so on creative days, I can play and create without having to purchase stuff, it does mean I often compromise, which in it's self can be creative.
I do have another my space next to my chair in our sitting room, I don't keep too much there, my tidy gene won't let me, just a wicker shopping basket and a few of my current projects.
It is nice to have your own space. We had the house extended when the children were young and built a playroom for them. It was ideal to keep toys out of the way so that the rest of the house wasn't cluttered. It's now my room so I have all my crafting supplies and a desk in there. Your amaryllis looks promising having a new shoot, fingers crossed it provides another flower for you.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have an office/desk space of your own away from the kitchen. My desk is the kitchen table and it's way too easy to delve into the cupboards to snack if I sit there for any length of time. Maybe I should make the effort to make space and go up to the sewing room and be away from temptation. Thanks for the inspiration.
