Originally I had the idea that I would setup a workroom where I could just make flowers without interruption and leave my stuff just all over the place – which I can’t do in the middle of the living room. I had thought I’d just set it up in the basement sewing room but the light down there is horrible when compared to natural light.

I settled on the man cave/library as it has really good natural light and is a fairly small room that already has all of my books in it. How could I possibly not do well sitting in the middle of the library. So I cleaned up all the assorted stuff and straightened the books. I brought the TV down from the bedroom because we never watch TV up there and I will hook up the DVD player so I can watch Pride and Prejudice over and over  like I did when I was engulfed in the last project. There is nothing on the TV during the day that would encourage me to work.

I started bringing up the silk and other things I will need to get working on the grand flower project of 2014. I think I also need to wash the windows (which will lead to better light and alleviate my distress at having nasty looking windows) and find the space heater so my toes don’t get cold.

I can then get plowing on the flowers.
