It’s the end of the five-day Easter break here in Iceland and I’ve spent the entirety of it at home alone, partly because of tightened Covid restrictions and partly just because.
Luckily I’m OK with solitude and am happiest at home, but being home alone ALL the time is a challenge even for me. Working full-time from home means the lines between work and life can get blurred, even more so when you live in a small space and your office is also your living room. Carving out time and space for creative projects is another challenge.
And while I’ve slowly been getting back to the crochet projects I’d set aside for so long, my main focus has been on making this space work for all the things - living space, work space, creative space. Now that I own a home by myself for the first time, I’m determined to make it truly mine.
It’s a work in progress (and let’s face it, there will always be something that needs doing), but I’m not in a hurry. I’m taking my time and trying my best to only bring in things I either really need or really love, things that have purpose and meaning. I’m aiming for warm, comfortable and uncluttered, with a place for everything and everything in its place. Most of all, I want it to reflect - and feel like - me. I want it to feel like home.
