A New Desk

I have a desk again! For the first time in years, I have a place to sit and write, to draw and craft and create. A place that’s suited to me and my creative interests. Not a repurposed table that doesn’t have enough storage, with all of my supplies scattered about our tiny home in whatever nook I can find a space for them.

Now when I sit, all of my paper crafts and art supplies are together, right at hand. My fabrics and yarns are on a bookshelf nearby. I’m so excited! I anticipate that I’ll be more productive this way, as unfinished projects won’t get tucked away into a random nook and forgotten about.

I’ve been working on gathering and organizing all of my supplies for the last couple of weeks. During that time I was also scanning the classifieds and visiting resale shops for the right chair and desk (small enough to fit our space, large enough to store everything and have room to spread out across the workspace on top). This week it all came together and today will be my first day to sit and work at my desk!

Now I just need a desk lamp… because today is so dark and cloudy that with my desk tucked away in a corner it’s a bit like being in a cave! But I know that the right one will come to me just as this desk and chair did. I’m so excited to have my own workspace in our tiny home.
