Lazy Daisy Jones

Interiors Our home

A Sneak Preview of my New Home Office

A home office, what does the word conjure up for you? Boring shelves stuffed with files and reports? or perhaps a desk filled with tech, under which resides a nightmare tangle of flex and old cardboard boxes labeled ‘to be sorted’  If that is your idea of a home office then you may be in for a suprise when you see mine!

If that is your idea of a home office then you may be in for a suprise…

My idea of a personal office is a room that reflects the character of its user. A cosy room that you want to spend time in, a room that inspires you to into action. A room of your own, or as Virginia Woolf superby wrote, explaining that for a women to succeed,

“a woman must have money and a room of her own…” Virginia Woolf

I have just adopted the small room as my office. I recently moved out of my larger sewing room that my teen son will soon move into. His old medium size room will become the new guest room. Therefore all the upstairs rooms apart from the master bedroom have been swapped around and having make-overs.

I am an avid collector of magazines, I have been all my life. Amongst others I have a collection of Vogue magazines dating from the 80’s to the early 2000’s. They have been stored in the attic for the last eight years. This year I decided I wanted them on display, so when we were kindly given some vintage newsagents shelves, I silently rejoiced, knowing just what would be going on them, my Vogues!

I also wanted botanical greenery lots of it. I presently have eight little plants keeping me company in my new room.

Storage will be essential as this is a smaller room than my last one. Therefore I need to utilize all available space, including the walls. A couple of pegboards have been recycled from my old room and have come in very handy.

I have also commissioned a new large piece of equipment from Marc (he made for me) It is being powder coated as I type this and  will be ready next week, I am very excited.

So just a little peep for now, more later I promise. Tell me what do you think of it so far?

I am still looking for a blind, a rug so any tips on where to look for these will be appreciated. The art work needs to be hung and some new lights are currently a work in progress. Watch this space!

I always appreciate a share!

Hello February! Happy as Larry with an armful of new fabric, bargain priced fabric, those lace fabrics were £1 pm 😳From local store @hansonsfabricsandcrafts Day made 🙌🏻
.
Big hello to new followers , let me reintroduce myself . . . I’m Ashley 👋🏻 a fabric and yarn obsessed midlife ‘gal’ 
Former air stewardess, costume maker and retail store manager. 
An empty nester with son at University, (he’s not too far away 😭) I feathered a new nest with 2 cats who live happily with our two dogs. 
My partner and I are keen on restoring pre loved vintage items of furniture lighting etc into unique pieces for our home. He does the hard work I draw the sketches and point at things. 
I post about my handmade life, sewing and crochet projects, our home restorations and occasionally the clothes and beauty products I wear and use as a midlife woman .
I find it very hard to be niche as I have too much to say! 
I have also been writing my blog Lazy Daisy Jones (link in bio) for almost 10 years. 
I very much enjoy connecting with other midlife girls on insta and proving it’s not just for the under 30’s . 
Leave me a comment if you are over 35 and any of this resonates with you Hellooooo x

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.

Cashmere and wool from @nomad_slt saved from landfill and made into a warm, soft and squishy top! Pattern by @papercutpatterns I’ve had it years and made lots of T-shirts.
