decorating woes, and other things

Decorating things

    ♥  The main bulk of rearranging my office and craft space is done! But a) I can't put up pictures yet, because b) I want shelves, and the shelves I wanted from IKEA became unavailable for delivery in the four hours it took me to decide I definitely wanted them. I have a backup plan set of shelves, but I don't like them nearly as much.

    ♥  I also framed some pictures today, but I haven't put any up because I want to see how much wall space I have when I put the shelves in. I have so many Marlowe Lune postcards I need to figure out what to do with, and I've added another postcard subscription to my collection - Risotto Studios, who produce four risograph prints a month from four different artists in a different city each month. I ordered some of their back-catalogue, and I've subscribed to the monthly batches. Any I don't like can be put aside for potential collaging or even, perhaps, posting!

Other things

    ♥  Things I've learned from working at home: I fidget a lot more than in the office, and it's even more important that a) I have a solid plan for my day, and b) I have some decent background noise. So I've been watching more of a video game streamer I've liked for years, and that's been really nice. I also need to get a desk lamp (or several) whenever I buy something from IKEA, so I'm not sitting in the dark at the end of the day, but I also don't need to get up just to put the main light on for ten minutes.

    ♥  The day I find a Dreamwidth style that I want to stick with will be a miracle. I'm the same with Tumblr themes - I'm so picky about them in a way that makes it really hard to find one I want to settle to. I thought the last one I was using was perfect, and then I realised I couldn't see people's icons on my reading page, and that made me sad. One day!

    ♥  I'm going to watch the Muppet Christmas Carol at my local cinema tomorrow, so then Christmas will officially have started. 🎄 Fingers crossed that the weather is kind, so I can get churros from the Christmas market afterwards.
