today was my first day back at work. work for me is at home, in my crafty cottage in the garden. i don't have a roster, i don't get a lunch break or days off. i love it. i love to sew, knit, crotchet, print and create.
working from home has huge benefits for me. i'm here in the morning before school, i'm at home when the kids finish school and i can go out and work at any time of the day or night.
the only problem is that it is too easy to get distracted by all of the family and household events. often work gets postponed in favour of washing, cleaning, cooking.....
today was the first day that i have had to myself in several months. the kids are settled back at school and the mister went back to work.
i had the luxury of several hours of peace, tranquility and stitching.
with the sun peeping through the window and the wispy curtain billowing in the breeze time went all too quickly.
there's always tomorrow

I understand. A job out of home gives a kind of structure to our days, while if we stay home we have to find this sructure in another way in order to accomplish what needs to be done.
It needs LOTS of self discipline!

I dream of a studio out the back. How wonderful... but yes - easy to get distracted.
