Studio Under construction

Two of my capable nephews are building-out a new studio space for me in
a room adjacent to my kitchen.
Previously, it was where my mamma slept and then held extra storage
after.
I called it the Room of Whoa!
because it made me say Whoa! before entering the room filled with dreck.
hashtag#hoarders?

Now it is presently under construction.


When the ceiling was opened, we found a small ball of tatting/crochet thread
tucked in a corner
We think it was a sign from momma


A huge weight has been lifted

The fellowship I won has given me the funds to move mountains of 
both real and mental storage.

Next week, my guys are going to help move the bulk of what used to be in that room  
out of my house and out of my care.

Yeah!

More to come.

    During renovation here, we opened a wall and found an empty wine bottle. Before closing the wall again, we added another -- soundings through time. Maybe the next person who renovates will continue the small tradition.

      I like that, I should have tucked a ball of yarn in the wall.

      I am thrilled. The visualization process has been fun, now the realization is almost complete.

    kinda like preparing the ground for potatoes...but somewhat less earthy.
    i expect there will be some very delicious potatoes growing from this ground.

      Not an easy row to hoe, but so worth it. Will share the first new crop at harvest time.

    Love the finding of the yarn, but it's the progress on the studio that is most delightful. Congratulations!

    so good to have this space, and a tiny gift. space to make stuff, or to grow potatoes is a gift and an obligation.
