New Studio: Sneak Peek!

This is somewhat of a duplicate post. I've copied and pasted it from my homestead blog, but it needs to go here too because it marks the beginning of my return to my adventures in fiber and textile arts. 

After we bought our homestead, there was a lot of work to do. That included the 100-year-old house, which needed many repairs and energy updates. We've slowly been working on those over the years, and at last, we are finishing up the room that was my original studio. It became a storage room when we started serious remodeling on the house, and has been that way ever since. You can see everything we did to the room starting here, "Sewing Room?" The posts all link to follow our progress.

Finally, I'm finally able to unpack my boxes of equipment, yarns, and fibers, and turn this room into my very own creative space.

 

Trying to figure out where everything will go has been a challenge. I didn't realize how many boxes of yarns, fibers, and equipment I had, and I feel like I'm trying to put 20 pounds of potatoes into a 5 pound bag. Even so, I'm glad I didn't succumb to purge madness. Everything is so expensive nowadays, that I don't have to worry about buying much for the rest of my life!

Yesterday, I found several more boxes of weaving yarns and spinning fibers. They've been boxed away in the front bedroom, which has served as our other storage/catch-all room. I was rather dismayed to find that mice had made themselves at home in one of the boxes!

I think this is partly because we keep the room closed and the cats don't have access. More activity and the presence of humans and prowling cats would be an excellent deterrent. 

So progress is being made, albeit slowly. One of these days I'll have everything in place and give you a grand tour!
