I will be writing six novels in six months. Call me nutty, (my name is really anna, though). Oh, and yes – I will be doing this while at work. I recently requested that my carpet be changed in my office, got some nice photos up and just made the place generally liveable while I do my thing. 🙂

Art box at desk filled with stickers, markers, glue, scissors and sparkles. I take art breaks after I feel I’ve accomplished the more important work stuff. The last time I had it out was to make a thank you card for someone who gave me garden produce, and then my boss comes up behind me….I yelled at her for only coming by when I’m taking an art break….and she giggled. I luckily work in preschool special education where art breaks are good!!

Hello! I like to keep myself sane in my cube at work by doodling on scrap paper. We waste a lot of paper in my office, so people bring me their scraps and I make them pretty! I also have a horror story to share for all of you…one year I dressed up as Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for Halloween. I made my costume out of hula hoops, pillows and a lot of duct tape and blue fabric. I wore it to work and couldn’t even sit down in my chair, it was so big! Everyone in my building heard about it and was coming by my cubicle to see, but unfortunatly, my boss wasn’t in the best of moods and made me cry that day(i’m a wuss) So everyone who came to my cube to see my costume instead saw this pathetic little blueberry with blue makeup running down her face. That was a few years ago and things are much better now. But I still have people at work remind me of that!

I belly dance for exercise—and fun!—which requires me to play finger cymbals. They’re kind of loud, and I live in an apartment complex, so I crocheted myself some zill (finger cymbal) mufflers. They work like tiny little snoods that fit over the cymbals to make them quieter. That way I can practice without disturbing my neighbors. . .ding-a-ding, ding-a-ding!

A friend and I started writing stories.

Here was my first crappy story on our first crappy attempt at a website.

I am working on tons of fabric dolls for Christmas presents and trying to figure out how I can get out of going to work on Monday.

I don’t work in a cubicle, but close – it’s one room in a basement home office. Occasionally I am the only one in the office – when that happens I do personal paperwork, pay bills, surf etc. I once enlarged a photo of my daughters face until her eye took up an entire 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper – I forget how many times I had to enlarge it – but it I love the way it looks!

Currently I’m working on my “Year of Outfits” photo project, see here at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geekxnerd/sets/72157601845540976/

I decided to take a picture of what I was wearing every single day, and at the end of a year to purge, re-purpose, give-away the things that I haven’t worn. I’m a pack-rat, so I need a dramatic purpose to do all of this!

What wonderful inspiration! I am working on making a handmade book of haiku using haiku that I have written. Take a peak?
