My Studio View

Moved my studio from the main floor to the second floor and I'm loving my view there. You can see the table where I work.



This photo taken from the balcony on the studio. It's looking west on the Pacific Ocean and those are islands in the distance.



I've been making fabric and recycled fiber bowls and this is a nesting set of four.

Projects in Progress

There are a few projects in progress. I'm planning to get more of the wicker trays so that I can stack planned projects and have them handy to look at for inspiration. Hopefully, soon I'll get something completed.

There is Progress!

My granddaughter Hazel spent the weekend with me and helped me with getting some work done in the studio. She's highly motivated because when it's all done and organized, we'll be working on projects there together. We put lots of things on shelves and though there will be some reorganizing, at least it's out of boxes. I'm heading back into the room now, to make some more progress.

Got some shelves up in the closet.


I can actually get to the windows now.


No, I don't have too much fabric! Those are all quilting books.


Beading things aren't in the studio yet. They're on the living room coffee table, where I can see them.

Not Yet A Studio

My moved happened 11 days ago and parts of the house are organized and other parts are not. Because my plan is to be here "forever", I'm working hard to have things organized to my own standards, as I unpack. My studio has taken a back seat to this point and I'm not sure when I'll really go to work on it. I keep reminding myself to "eat the elephant, one bite at a time" so that I can feel satisfied with moving forward, little bit by little bit.

I thought it might be fun to post photos of my studio in chaos to compare with how it's going to look further down the line.

This photo is taken from the doorway to the room. Lots of boxes to be unpacked yet. The windows face west and south.



I've started to get some of my shelves up.



There are a lot of boxes here. You can't really see that the closed is stacked full of boxes too.



You can almost see one of my work tables here in the background. Those dark dusty blue walls have got to go! It just makes the room too darn dark!
