Today I had a request from a reader on Facebook. He knows I’m taking a photography class and that we are to be taking photos of our every day life. He requested that I share photos of my writing cottage. I’ve posted photos in the past, but it’s been awhile, so those of you new to my blog, I thought you might enjoy.

I must say though, as I looked at the photos I thought, I have too much stuff!  I’m in a new mode of thinking the past couple of months of trying to smart-size and not live with as much stuff.  Eventually my husband I want to move to a smaller home (ours is 1200 sq. ft.).  I know my writing cottage would be hard for me to leave, as well as all my “stuff.” But I do think I could get rid of some things… someday.

All photos were taken today, with the exception of the outside shot.  This is from the summer months. It is much prettier in the summer than winter.  And wait until you see my boss– she is SO CUTE!

 

An old desk that now serves as an altar of Frankie memories

 

 

This is Eartha Azure.  I made her in a doll class years ago. I love her!

 

My book case with lots of books on writing, publishing and marketing

 

More book shevles– books on dogs, inspiration, self help

 

A cozy corner. I love my heat and glo stove and my arched window

 

My thinking, reading, snuggling with Joie, napping chair

 

 

View from my desk.  Door goes out onto our deck and then into our house

 

My desk which is a flurry of activity right now as I get ready to launch my new book

 

 

 

The Boss at JoyfulPaws Headquarters.  She takes lots of naps so it’s easy to goof off!

My wall with some of my favorite photos of Frankie

When John built me this 10 x 12 space he dubbed it MySpace.Calm.  It really meant alot to me that he understood I needed my own space to write and just be.
