A Busy Week

Lots going on this week.  First, Don decided he thought I was much too isolated spending all day up in the 3rd floor studio.  So he suggested we move the longarm down to the second floor den.  Actually, I was thrilled to have everything in one place for a change...and solitude doesn't bother me too much.

Obviously, he feels isolated..or doesn't like hiking up to the 3rd floor to see what I'm up to.  Happily, he still likes having me nearby after all these years!

So, we took it all apart and moved it downstairs.  Now I have a 2 story studio.  It's working fine, and hubby is happy.  And I have 2 huge rooms instead of one.  I'll give you a tour....

2nd floor space is 23' x23' and has a wonderful large sun porch right out the door to the left of the machine.



this is the chaise lounge that Chloe and I share for knitting...you can see a glimpse of the sun porch through the windows.  We won't talk about the exercise bike....



and moving around the room...here is my office space. Notice the kitty bed under the shelves :)



TV and game space for when the grand girls are here...still haven't gotten the house painting done......



and the stairs up to the 3rd floor portion of the studio



Moving up the stairs, the domestic sewing machine area



and then looking to the other end of the room where the longarm used to be.  I've expanded the painting and cutting areas into that space.  The room is 46' x 26'





Also, this week I worked  some more on my newest bird of Paradise quilt



And pieced backs for the next 2 quilts ready to be quilted



And actually got one loaded after these photos were taken.  I was getting low on batting, so I placed a big order this week at quilters dream, so that will arrive next week and keep me in stock for a good while.

No work tomorrow , a fun day planned....photos from that to come!
