I am back, bay-bee!
My intention was to blog while I was in NYC. I even downloaded a special app designed to make iPad/Typepad blogging work more easily. But it was not to be. Between the meetings and the classes and the procurement of souvenirs and the amazing food, I tumbled into my (ginormous) hotel bed each night, too tired to even attempt it.
But now I am home, wearing my pajamas and staring at an inbox where every other message is flagged with a bright red "FOLLOW UP" label, and a calendar that is giving me what is often referred to as the gimlet eye. And not the good kind of gimlet, either.
SO. TANGLED comes out tomorrow, and of course there will be stuff happening here to celebrate. Later this week I will show you some pictures of New York, including delicious food and even more delicious yarn. And there will, of course, be giveaways and fun things like that.
In the meantime...we have a winner in the Office Space Giveaway:
Stefi!
She has the coolest office imaginable. The blue paint and white quotes, the history captured in the room...I'm jealous, even if she IS freezing. And Stefi, if you wanted to show us pictures of the awesomeness...feel free!
We live in the country, in the middle of nowhere and there's an old garden shed that I kind of took over and turned into my hangout. I painted over the walls in dark blue and every time I read something that I really like, I've got a bucket of white paint and I use it to paint the passage or phrase or whatever on the blue of the wall. That way I have lots of great things to give me a kick when I'm staring at the wall (literally:)) instead of concentrating:)
My brother's a really great artist and sometimes he comes in and paints these little cartoons of something funny that happened or as an illustration for what I've written on the walls. It's actually kinda cool, because over the years he and I have put together this mural that reflects the history of our high school years. You can even tell the difference between our freshmen or junior years by my handwriting (my cursive got worse because I needed to write faster to take notes in class) and his drawing (he's gotten incredibly good!) I often come here to do college applications and my AP prep. I absolutely love this place we've made together, even though in the winter I freeze!
Congratulations, and thanks again, guys, for sharing your creative spaces with me. It's so inspiring to see the places you'd carved out for yourselves!
