Sometimes you have to make time for you

So, this past weekend was a public holiday. As an artist/maker who works for themself and work additional jobs to make everything happen, actually taking time off is often difficult. In an effort to have a bit more work/life balance, my new resolution is to take off public holidays. I generally still work at least part of the time, but I give myself permission to be a bit more relaxed. Or that’s the theory anyway. In reality I spent part of the weekend making a start on transforming our concrete balcony into a haven. It’s still very much a work in progress, but it’s nicer already!

See? New flooring, a bit of furniture, it’s like a whole new area! Next up, plants. This should be interesting, as neither mom or I are particularly inclined to keep them alive, so we’ll see….

What do you do to decompress, and what’s your idea of a place to retreat to?

Regular post probably back next week :). Enjoy some nice weather!
