I’m finally starting to get into a groove with my new job, working remotely from home (see my bio for details). I sat on our lawn this afternoon and soaked up the gorgeous 80 degree weather, while working from my laptop. Apparently, my wireless connection is stronger than I thought! When my eyes started to burn from screen exposure, I took a break and puttered around my sewing studio; I photographed new pillows and thought up new designs. I returned to the computer, this time sitting on the couch/my other “desk” to do more remote work. Brian and I later took a sunset walk with Pudd’nhead (our dogcat) through the orchard. I did some jumping jacks, lunges, squats and ran off my couch butt along the way. I think this new life is working for me (if I could only squeeze in a morning or late afternoon surf session everyday…).
I just updated the shop. Check out the new additions on the Pillow Farmer link above or here. The inspiration keeps flooding in thanks to my new home, healthier lifestyle and change of scenery.
On a side note: It’s another gorgeous day in Ventura. The sunset yesterday was incredible. We just sent home our Orchard Project guest, Sarah McMenimen. I taught her to surf, we bowled, took walks and made donuts. A pretty excellent visit. And today is my first official day telecommuting for my job in San Francisco. I am ready for the challenge to once again balance my creative and professional endeavors. Here’s to a super 2009!
