the linen garden: My family are very patient...

?

...I am a Mum of two?gorgeous girls and I am very lucky to say that although I work beyond full time hours, I work from home. A homemaking homemaker. My family are very patient. Why? Because I have taken up half of the house with my business, my hoardings, my treasures, my makings, my stationery. The once living room to our house is now my studio, a full functioning studio. A room I affectionately call The Linen Garden....

?

I feel unsettled when my surroundings stay the same for too long (apparently it is because I am Aries, although I am not too sure this is the reason)....I think my husband would say it is one of my annoying cosmetics of 'being me'....

?

I like change, I hate routine (but I do need to work on this as working from home with a young family does require a pinch of organisation), so I am constantly moving furniture, changing the purpose of rooms around, re-painting the colours of the walls

The ever changing appearance of my studio is partly what keeps me inspired.? I love how I look back at photos and see how the studio changes in colour, mood, style, tidyness.

Working on your own can be quite challenging at times, you have to be extremely disciplined......working from home you have the domestic goddess, that you think you should be, whispering in your ear about "the pile of ironing, the breakfast pots, shall we make soup and bread for tea, shall we read the Sunday supplements and find some new recipes, you really should hoover the stairs"....?I try not to listen to her, in fact, looking at my house at the moment I definately haven't been listening to her....

...so?when the tasks in hand for the day are rather repetative I indulge in the advantages of working from home.??These at the moment are ?6Music, Iplayer and the Desert Island Discs Archive (fabulous by the way)?to keep me going at these times.... So tell me, what do you use?to help nudge the working day along... please share and break my cycle, you know I don't like routine.......
