One of my goals for this month is to do some studio/office organizing. And happily it seems I am not alone! A bunch of people have mentioned on their blogs or goal lists similar desires for a more sparkly work space. Here are some of the posts I've been looking at for both inspiration and commiseration. hah.
• Over at Mint, Ellie and her friend Margot, from Pitch, have begun a series about starting to work from home. I've been working at home for years, but am sorry to say I still find myself falling into the "why-bother-getting-dressed?" and "my-house-is-a-perpetual-mess" pitfalls that often accompany having a home office. So it's always good to hear other's comparable stories and tips for coping. Find their Howdy Do It posts every Monday at Mint and Pitch.
• When starting to organize my office, I found this post from Uniform Studio chock full of helpful bits.
• If you need some inspiration look no further than Lovely Design's studio tours-- old and new! Not only does every item seem to have its place, but the colors! Really gorgeous.
• There's also the Modish Flickr Pool-- Handmade Spaces. Always fun to troll through...
In related news, both my site and blog got a bit of dusting off these last couple of days. See the newly organized sidebar to the left! The portfolio and the homepage menu have been updated, and I decided to add in some pencil sketches from upcoming projects. (Remember the image above from it's pencil sketch posted a bit ago?) Let me know what you think of the new work.
My physical workspace may still be a bit of a mess, but now my digital (er, virtual?) one isn't!
