If you’re bored, why not take a peek at WhereWeDoWhatWeDo, a photo collection of workspaces? I would upload mine, but it’s an awful mess right now. And I’m far too embarrassed by my clutter.
I will tell you this though: I had a toy light saber and Chinese yo-yo on my desk that would end up in new spots each morning (from various co-workers or cleaning crew battling with them the previous night).

My bedroom is VERY dim. It’s lit only by a humble Noguchi Akari lamp (pictured above) + a desk lamp. I’ve been doing some searches for new lighting for my room + thought I’d share my finds. Some are lovely + practical. Others are fun + totally impractical for my small space.
Purchasing links (if applicable) + information links are under each image.

Happy Monday! I hope y’all are doing well. I celebrated Grandpa’s birthday this weekend! He’s still quite feisty + has these crazy bushy eyebrows that are surely the envy of all kung-fu masters. =)
Now for something completely unrelated:
Totoro’s such a cutie!
I’m not sure when I’ll have time to knit this. But is definitely in the project queue. If you’d like to knit one for yourself or a friend, here are the instructions:
