It's 2018. Three things are better.

1. A new light. It's LED, I can adjust the brightness, and angle it. It's so great. The old light was hot. This one isn't. It's amazing what an extra $20 will buy...

2. A new storage cabinet. Next to the sofa, I now have a cabinet in which I can put my projects at night. No more looking a a big mess of beads and scraps of fabric. I held out for three years to buy this cabinet. Now I appreciate it even more.

3. New energy. 2018. Deal done at work. Boston. I'm finding energy and creativity again.

This isn't the design I'd have planned and not sure it's going to be a favorite. But, who cares. Moving on.
