progress on the new studio for felting and fibering
I decided last fall to move the studio to the house. That way I would save a ton of time and money by not going back and forth all the time. When I was here … I always needed something there and vise versa. Not to mention cheaper rent and besides it helps get the laundry done when the studio is next to the washing machine. Well … you know how moving can be. Some of us sail right through it and everything is set up in a day. Let’s just say I’m not one of those people. We moved the studio in late October and by December I decided I had to have that area of the basement sheet rocked to give it a more inviting feel. So, I enthusiastically jumped into that project (quite possibly to prolong the unpacking part of the process) and took progress picture as I went. Now that it’s April I am finally getting around to posting them. I’m telling myself it’s not because I’m stalling on unpacking the studio, but that might have something to do with it. If any of you artist type people out there are anything like me, you have so much stuff to make stuff with …. that it’s hard to get organized enough to make stuff. But, alas, the desire and need to “make” is becoming overwhelming and soon that studio will be ready to roll! Who knows … maybe I’ll even do a few mini-workshops here!

Looks a lot like my space. I just finished mine two weeks ago…it’s heaven!
Thinking of coming for a workshop later this year. Good luck with all your artistic ventures.

Nancy – I am impressed – Wow, you transformed the place! Congrats on the good work. I got a kick out of seeing Jeff’s gray coffee cup there. He has used that for as long as I’ve known him – would it be 5 years now?

Thanks Suze! I know that cup is huge, huh? Like starting the day with a pot of coffee, LOL

Hi Nancy,
I can totally relate to your having so much fiber stuff (treasures) that it’s hard to get it all organized. My work area looks like a tornado went through at the moment, and like you, organizing everything just doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. Especially on a beautiful day like today! Congratulations on your new in-home studio
