Since my living arrangements are temporary, I've been using temporary workspace. I've been sitting on the bed or floor to use the laptop, and have been using the floor or a metal tv tray for a working surface while beading. Surprisingly, I haven't been doing much beading.I'd thought about rearranging a bit, and trying to reclaim some space, but kept putting it off with the excuse that I wouldn't be here long. Well, it's been 2 and a half months. I still hope that I won't be here much longer, but it's hard to know with the economy. I think I was a little afraid that if I sort of settled, that it would mean that I was accepting it as more than a stopping point. In the end, though, comfort won out. It's too hard to try to do job applications, practice new computer applications and software, update a website, do bead loomwork, etc, etc without a work surface that's a bit larger and more stable than a lap or a metal tv tray. So, with a bit of rearranging and the repurposing of a table stored in the basement, the temporary room now has a decent work area.
I'm hoping that a decent work surface leads to some decent work. I've had a couple beading projects in mind. Now I have a place to move them from thought to reality.
