    love your little peeks…
    i have a list right by my computer too, but it’s filled with boring things like ‘make a meal plan’ and ‘clean spare room’…trying to get organize after going back to work from an 11 month maternity leave…

    Where did you get your work table? I am in LOVE with it. What does the back look like? I am looking for something similar but it has to stand alone, which means the back has to be attractive. And I love how functional yours looks!

    its from Ikea. They sell it as a kitchen island. The back looks the exact same, you can pull the drawers out from either side. Super rad, I love it.

    Love your workspace! I always love seeing glimpses into people’s workspaces, and what they surround themselves with while creating! I’ve always taken photos of my worktable or workroom at different stages each year. Its fun to see things like that progress!

    I love how goal-oriented and motivated you are. The pictures are great. Do you ever have days when you aren’t motivated? How do you get yourself back into it when you’re feeling less than your best?

    I like how “real” your photos are. Just seeing, taking and sharing – I often loose myself in the sorting and editing process because I feel like my photos aren’t “good enough” or “interesting enough” to post on my wee blog, but who cares? This is true inspiration to just share + hold on to honest glimpses of what’s happening right here, right now.

    Elise,
    I’m laughing because I have the exact same work table in my craft room.. great minds think alike 😉
    Love it but was just thinking the other day if I should get a second one and but them back to back (mine is off the wall, have access from both sides), it is a bit skinny.
    Enjoy SD heat, it’s raining here in Sac area today!
