Fiber Arts Friday: Studio Update

So in the fall of 2022 we embarked upon a significant remodel of our house.

Then, thanks to the exceptionally wet spring, the Studio Floor needed to be replaced, which was accomplished the fall of 2023... and while that work was going on, we decided to improve the lighting.

Then, we decided to buy our Dog Training School which we brought through a lot of upgrades.

So the re-moving-in has been going very slow for the last 6 months... just a little hear and there.

However, on Memorial Day, at the end of May, Hubba and I had time off together and spent much of the day bringing in and assembling the big stuff.

Having the big pieces in place gave me access to the fiber stash and tool bins, which are now mostly organized.

So while I'm not finished moving in, I have started working my day job again from this space.

And it feels so good.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

Fiber Arts Friday: New Studio, part 2

Slowly, my Studio is coming together.

Over a recent weekend, we got my floor loom and shelves assembled.

I mentioned in January, that I've been working my Day Job from this space for a while.  So to have the other big pieces together makes me exceedingly happy.

The work needed at our old place has been is winding down, so we have been able to spend time and energy making our new place the way we want, rather than just functional.

Most of the furniture is now in place.  So we will just be with it for a while before we start hanging art.

In the meantime, I am very excited to be to the point of unpacking and organizing books.

I expect it will be some time before I warp my loom, but wow.... I just love it when a project starts to wrap up.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!!

Fiber Arts Friday: A Studio!

I have alluded a few times that we are moving house and farm.

The new place has many features we have been looking for, including a proper studio for me.

It is a trapezoid-shaped room that is attached to the house.  It was the prior owner's hobby room and had been painted in high-gloss, Kawasaki/Snap-On colors.

Before:

While I love a good red, I have always felt that red should be more of an accent, rather than the main field.

After:

I wanted a calm and bright space that will be comfortable for both my studio as well as my home office.  So paint was toward the top of the pre-move-in list of tasks.

I am happy with the result.

We've started to move a few things in now and will begin the big push to get to the new place full-time soon.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
