Update...

I just took this photo of my messy messy studio. I guess I'm not shy about my clutter...it takes a while for things to find their place in a new home after all. I'm not quite sure how I did it in my former studio, it was so much smaller, but I keep attempting to unpack boxes and find that I have no proper shelving or storage space to put them. It's a strange phenomenon, but one I'll have to resolve soon.

While the studio isn't quite picture ready (as you can tell from the picture, lol), the rest of the house is even worse. We've been painting and cleaning and going on family outings and working...and our house could still be considered a hard hat zone. Not that I'm complaining. It's a thrilling experience to have all these possibilities in front of us. The living room is partially painted (thanks to my sister, Sara), but the next project I really need to tackle...building basement shelves. The entire basement is filled with boxes that were previously stored and boxes from the move. I want to decorate the bedroom, which has been painted and furniture-filled for a while now, but I can only scavenge the edges of the pile of boxes in the basement for doodads. Sigh...

Well...while the house is still getting sorted out, I am starting to work in my studio more diligently and will be planning the first patriotic update of the year and pay more attention to my poor little blog. Yippee! I haven't started working on anything just yet, but soon I'll make an announcement with the date.

Stay tuned! :)

I'm still here...working away!

I think it's been ages since I've spent this much time away from the computer! Of course it helps when I have very poor internet signal in my crafty tower. Ben will fix that soon. Anyway...I wanted to show you a few photos I snapped real quick of the goings on in my workspace.

I've been able to get some of my wholesale orders started, finished and out the door, which I'm very happy about. All the while still unpacking and unpacking and unpacking. Half the studio boxes are still untouched!

Except by Paige...


Here's a little sneak peek of part of my new setup. The kitchen island from the old kitchen will have a new home as a work table...hopefully always to remain clear (we'll see how that goes, as you can tell from photo, not good so far, lol). It's so exciting having way more space to spread out. I can't wait to show you all the before and after photos...once the tornado has cleared and an acceptable after photo can be taken. :) Until then...

It's Good to be Home....

It really is good to be home. Ben had to go back to Boston for a little while to finish up his internship and last night I stayed with my parent's since our bed isn't set up yet. Waiting in the foyer was a hat full of eggs, which my Dad let me have (minus his hat). I just love the country. :)
