welcome to my office :)

today, i am in my office to dodge the humidity. it is supposed to be 90* degrees outside, but the humidity makes it feel like 120. not a drop of rain has fallen yet and this saddens me.

usually, i could decorate the hell out of any space...but my office. my office? mmm...it's going to have to roll with the punches right now. it's going to have to deal with me being able to work in it effectively before i add some finishing touches. so forgive the mess- here are some pictures of the updates :)

the globetrotting gamine's gotta be stationed somewhere, right?!

my assistant supervising the chaos.

hope you're having a wonderful wednesday!

love,

globetrotting gamine

are you still out there?

dear bloggie friends:

how are you? i am so sorry i have been a horrible blogger! summer proves to be entirely too busy for me. it's been one thing after another...and so much fun!
my favorite thing i have been doing so far is...remodeling/redecorating my basement into different spaces! I've created a home office! SQUEE! I have uploaded some pictures of what's been going on down there...

the top white room is my office. it's not complete yet but let me tell you- once i moved all "office materials" down there, all the rooms up here were PERFECT! It just goes to show that i read too much :)

the yellow room is now white...it's going to be an exercise room/pantry but it will be one of the last things we put together.

and then little guy in the last picture? that's my assistant, supervising the goings on in our office space.

shocking, huh?

have a wonderful week!

love,

the globetrotting gamine

wouldn't you know it?

i'm a really bad bloggie-friend.
i'm so sorry i haven't written and i hope that you've all been well.

things got a little crazy here- long weekends followed up by long parties. then things got interesting:

• got a little sick
• got back into yoga
• got mad and decided to finish the book
• started researching, printing and rewriting
• photography = snap happy
• weddings and more family events!
• editing the book
• am about to have new office!
• must redecorate new office!
• do 1000 things

this next month is going to be nothing short of crazy. home improvements, yard improvements, my best friend's wedding coming up! showers to plan, globetrotting to plan, people to see...

opinions on where to purchase office furniture (new? sturdy? cheap?) and a printer? what kinds?

how would you decorate your office?

and hope that you are, too <3

Overwhelmed

Often times, I am convinced that everything comes full circle. What goes around, comes around. Sometimes, faith and hope should take over... at least when you fly by the seat of ones pants. Wish I could fly by the seat of mine.

Today, without my camera which LML has chosen to take to work with him- my 'office' (dining room table) is a mess. What does that mess include?
* Piles (5 different ones) of envelopes to various locations.
* A pile of to-do lists and paperwork
* 5 v. different magazines
* A half drunk cup of coffee

( As I write this, I am listening to Martha Stewart saying that she's been to Kalamata. I miss Kalamata, Greece)

Continuing on with my list:
* an empty vase now filled with pens
* a box of new envelopes
* glue and mod podge
* a picture frame I am on the second phase of crafting
* my doggie-apparel prototype
* lemon juice (for the water i have finished as per my nausea. No, I'm not pregnant. Why do people always believe I am pregnant when I am nauseous?!)
* Pictures to scan

This is nothing compared to what my desk looked like an hour ago. Researching is hard work, especially when you need an assistant. I was thinking of hiring my sister as one, but that would be a total nightmare.
Why?  I know we would never get anything done. ? There is always so much to be done that it is too overwhelming. Being nauseous doesn't help, waiting on pending paperwork does not either. Ridiculous. I envy the people who are more productive throughout the course of the day than I am. I am off to sketch and piece together a pre-prototype for my next piece.

Still have not done anything for the business except getting my first prototype done, while the dog next door, barks barks away.

More later on, lots to say! Hope you're well and having a good day!
