Why I haven’t done any work
1. Joe is on school holiday and demanding lots of my attention.
Fair enough.
2. We are decorating the hall, stairs and landing.
Messy, time consuming and expensive.
But very exciting! We’ve only been waiting 6 years…
3. This is where I work.
On my desk (a theme in blogland at the moment) – or, rather, what isn’t on my desk?
I always work like this. This is what my creative process looks like.
And yes, the mess can be frustrating. But it also inspires me.
My desk is only tidy when the ideas have dried up.
So, you are looking at a dress, a skirt, an apron, a submarine quilt (for Henry) and a ‘coastal’ wallhanging.
All just waiting patiently for me to have some time to myself.
I wonder when that will be?

Those stairs look pretty already, I can only imagine when they are redone. Time is in short supply over here too. I have no idea when it will be available. I really wonder if there are any creative people out there who can keep a well organized desk?

Yes, I know the feeling! I seem to spend lots of time thinking about what sewing I want to do but not much time actually sewing . . . Good luck with the renovations, it’ll be worth the effort in the end.

it was Albert Einstein who said ‘if a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind… what is an empty desk a sign of?’
