Long time, no write! In fact it has been so long that I am not even really sure how to do this blog thing any more. Well, that's okay, I am just going to jump in and start!
So, Joe and I have been very busy in the last 9+ months...we have taken two trips (one of them a honeymoon!), gotten married, searched for a new home (just for fun to start, then much more seriously when we saw the marvelous homes out on the market), purchased a new home, and moved into said home. Wow!
And because we now have five acres of property surrounding our beautiful home, we have dubbed our new digs the "Duuude Ranch." Say it a few times and it will make sense (especially if you picture a surfing Keanu Reeves saying it :-) ).
Some of you may think moving is no big deal because people do it all of the time. While that's true, my guess is that not a lot of people have the collections of things that Joe and I do. He has hundreds (yes hundreds) of die cast cars, every tool known to man, and several classic cars. I think I have just about every art tool and supply that is out there, too, AND hundreds of books. We're collectors and don't like to throw things away, "just in case"! Overall, it took us two full months moving everything on our own, as we took loads to the new space once if not twice every weekend. Whew! We are SO glad that is done!
So, in the new home, I got another studio and not just any studio, but a room about three times the size of what I had! Holy cow! As I sit in it now and write, I'm still amazed at the space I have. It is most awesome. I have some pictures to share:
And more wonder:
Here's my sewing table:
The wall behind the table is paint spattered (it was SO much fun to do! :-) ):
Here is where I work with my polymer clay (I can finally leave this stuff out because it has its own space!):
Here's my painting station:
One of many "goodie" stations:
I even have room to display the things I have made:
Another couple of views:
And yes, that is my very own TV in my studio...I can connect to the internet on the big screen (thank you Amazon Fire TV!) so I can watch how-to videos on YouTube. I even have a little electric fireplace to make the space even more cozy!
All in all, I am a very lucky girl! I am so excited to get creating in the space and to be able to share it with you as I go along.
So, I'm back and hopefully going to be posting regularly again (that's the goal!). However, it is time for me to call it a night so I can go dream up some really great things to show you in the coming weeks! Until next time, keep dreaming those dreams because they can and do come true!
