Y...Congrats Natalie for such a lovely writing spot.<br />You are very fortunate that your hubby is so good with his hands! I couldn't ask mine to build anything like that!!!<br />Thanks for posting all those pics on FB. I love the view out of your window. All lush and green. I think you'll find it more comfy writing there than in your car or, heaven forbid, in the laundry!!<br /><br />What about Cozy Retreat or Bellevue Shed;<br />Of all the above entries I like The Plotting Shed the most. <br /><br />Enjoy writing in your new bubble.Miss Bougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739299321671870608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-48787899706923114782012-02-26T09:32:12.299+11:002012-02-26T09:32:12.299+11:00Oooh Joanne - there are some good ones there too!!...Oooh Joanne - there are some good ones there too!!!

(I've stayed in quite a few, in my time.) If I had a writing shed, that's what I'd call it -- the stuga, or lilla stuga (which means 'little cottage'). I hope you have loads of fun writing there -- it looks idyllic!!Emily Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958085922194448672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-63037692539425516272012-02-24T18:05:36.707+11:002012-02-24T18:05:36.707+11:00LOL - Helen - a Yurt!

I love the idea that you can get in your space ship and travel through time and space to create wonderful stories and then come back to earth and family life again!<br /><br />Thanks for this truly inspirational post, Natalie. I too am a mother of four kids who dreams of being a published author. I sometimes wonder if I'm mad to cherish dreams like this for myself. You've just shown me that a woman can have four children and still be a prolific and published author. I'm really getting to love visiting this Love Cats blog - such great discussions here and so much inspiration.<br /><br />Enjoy your shed. You've earned it!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-65094118338370975772012-02-24T17:50:36.977+11:002012-02-24T17:50:36.977+11:00LOL Joanne!

And I really enjoyed following the journey with these photos.<br /><br />Re: a name - since you call it The Shed now, I think you should stick to the same rhythm or you'll probably fall back into The Shed anyway.<br /><br />My faves from the suggestions so far are The Cottage, The Yurt, The Chalet or The Retreat.<br /><br />Can't wait to hear what you choose!Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-48967876164456270682012-02-24T11:55:36.616+11:002012-02-24T11:55:36.616+11:00Looks great!
