New box.

I love this new three drawer wooden box!  It is actually full of router bits at the moment - and maybe I will keep using it for these.  But then again, maybe I will use it for craft things.

New Art Studio

I will now have a place to actually use all of my fun drawers and jars and storage finds of the past few years!  I have a new Art Studio!

This has been planned for a long time (several years!) and has finally come to fruition.  It seemed doubtful for awhile as I wasn't sure I wanted to proceed following my husbands death, but I decided it might be just the thing I need to keep going forward.  I think Ace would have been very happy that it is finally completed and I will be moving all of my arts and crafts and such out of the house!  =)

Art Studio

Ahhhhhh - finally.  The new garage is completed.  The door on the right opens into my new Art studio.  I can now move all of my art and craft supplies out of the house and into the new space!  This is a good thing!  I am looking forward to Summer so I can get started.

 This is a view from the door.  This is the main part of the studio which will have all of my storage, drawing table, craft table, etc.  I think I will simply put down a couple of room size rugs to add a little softness but I could easily remove them if they get stained with paint, etc.

This is the back room - the part of the space that is directly behind the garage.  

This is where I will hook up my kiln and set up the potter's wheel.  I have several things I 

will need to do before this can happen - set up an exhaust system as well as line the 

walls in the corner for heat.  The electrical work is already set up to go.

Loss

I haven't been on in such a long time - life goes through changes; some that are great, such as my last post, and some that pull you into the darkness and won't seem to let go.  (to continue reading, click here)
