Well we are renovating a small one car garage in our new home and making it into my own personal craft studio!! Then later we plan on adding a new two car garage/ workshop on the side of our house, where we have PLENTY of room to do so, later.
My husband and I are DIY (Do-It-Yourself) believers and we practice what we preach.
So he and I are doing most of the work in the house. The new garage will most likely be contracted out later. For now we have enough work inside to do to keep us busy long into the new year.
So the new studio and sewing room are under way starting today. We are starting this week by pulling out the lovely wood paneling that hides the fact that the old garage is not insulated- can I add a Brrrrr as I type in my cold cold future studio right now.
Oh boy did they make wood paneling STRONG back in the day. It takes all the strength I have to pull on the pullbar to pry out each small section. Oy, do we have days of removing paneling ahead. yikes!
Lots of work folks.
But it is Good Work.
With each splinter, cut and bruise I am empowered. With every completed task that makes this house safer, efficient and more beautiful I am strengthened.
Life sometimes needs hard work to remind you of how strong and capable you really are.
When will I be back full force and then some???
I do not know yet. All I know is that I will be back. I have too many ideas and projects to NOT do what I do for a living.
For now the
Holy Frijoles are kicking butt this year in sales! Keeping me busy packaging and shipping. I even got phone calls from locals this year just GUSHING over how wonderful and fun the little guys are. Its wonderful!
This year is far better than any. I am filled. IN fact, my cup runs over this year.
Thank you God! and also thank you dear reader. Whomever you may be. ;-) I know I am often not level headed but somehow you return. Curiosity at what oddity I bring before you each day, no doubt, is what brings you back......:-) In any case, let it be known that I am glad that you come back, for whatever reason.
Ok time for me to get off of here. I cannot feel my fingers now as I type and my teeth are beginning to chatter. Time to cover the computer with blankets like tomatoes in danger of a freeze. ;-)
Till warmer nights in the studio are possible.....
