Pondering

by tm · May 12, 2010


It’s been 4 weeks since I have left my job and I think I’m starting to get the hang of this “working from home” business.

Hasn’t been easy. Mostly because I haven’t made it easy for myself. I feel like I’ve been chasing my tail, running from one project to another, with the idea of doing a little bit of everything every day and failing miserably. Many nights I have gone to bed feeling frustrated, with the annoying thought that after a 12 hours working day I haven’t actually accomplished anything.

I have started thinking that maybe, maybe, it’s better for me to work for others after all, in a studio or an office, that this working for myself, having my own studio, it’s not for me.

I knew already that I needed a structure to be productive, that I need to plan my activities to make the most of my time. Mainly because I just want to do too many things.

The funny things is that I’m so good at prioritizing my workload when I work for others, why can’t I translate those skills into my own work?

Well, I’m not giving up that easily, I always like to find solutions to my problems and I do enjoy a challenge.
And, like I’ve said, I think I’m starting to get the hang of this.

Let’s see how it goes.

Busy bee

by tm · May 1, 2010

Second week at home and I have been busier than ever!

So many projects and ideas to develop and put into practice.
The Daily Creature of course, the Toe Fluff project (here is my version), working on some new designs for prints and textiles, re-decorating old bits of furniture and starting a new collection for the Creatures.

I will post pictures of new works soon enough, but for now, just one of my busy little workspace.

Have a lovely weekend! xx
