Repost:⁠⁠
"for today's #mondaymending I'm fixing this hole in my husband's sock. I was inspired by a recent post from pattyjlyons to run vertical ladders to bridge the hole and it worked a treat! the darning loom kept everything tidy, and while it was a little fiddly at first, by the end I had it all fixed up.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
this weekly mending habit is so satisfying, hope I can keep it up!⁠"⁠⁠

This meme is for those who are staring at their ya This meme is for those who are staring at their yarn stash wondering if they have too much yarn. Just kidding, nobody is wondering that. 😂😂😂😂😂⁠

I also miss all my "stuff". Aside from the practic I also miss all my "stuff". Aside from the practical, like my books, yarn and tools, I love all my junk.  The little bits of this and that that I've collected over the years that live on my desk and on my shelves.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What's your favorite bit of nonsense in your office? Has anyone else had to leave their work space last year? What do you miss most?
We came upstate when David was told not to return We came upstate when David was told not to return to his office. We live in a small 2 bedroom apt with the second bedroom as my studio / office . . .  so it didn't really seem like there was enough room for us both to work from home. I've been okay being a floater in the house. I have the guest bedroom set up now as my filming studio where I not only shoot but do my live classes, and other times I work sitting in the sun porch or in the living room. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I'm grateful everyday, that after 20 years of scrimping and saving, a couple of years ago we finally bought our little house in the woods. It's been the perfect place to be during a global pandemic. Don't get me wrong, I love it here. But last weekend when I was in Brooklyn, I realized how much I missed waking up in the morning, and walking down the hall to my office. To a proper work space. To a place where I could reach for a book if I wanted, or grab a ball of yarn from my stash to swatch.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I think in part, it's why I haven't really been able to focus or get much done. I think once David gets vaccinated next month, we'll start going back 3 days a weekish, so I can get back into my work grove. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
My work space is tiny, but I love it.⁠⁠
