Still Writing…And Piecing
Yes, I’m still writing-it seems like forever now. I am excited about what I am writing but this is a lot of work. Lucky me though, I got to take an afternoon off to go to the Bay Area and see my son and DIL!
Isn’t that lovely? She planned for an afternoon of cruising in the lagoon on an electric boat. She planned, made and brought a lovely assort of hors d’oeuvres, deserts and wine. It was just the best time!
My son being pretentious… We call him Clark-remember Clark Griswold from Vacation? That’s him.
In the meantime, I am, gasp, piecing! Betcha didn’t know I could actually piece. It has been fun actually-the rhythm, the cutting, seeing the design emerge.
One of the handiest items in my studio is the music stand. It’s so useful for holding stuff without taking a lot of floor space and it’s so lightweight, easy to move up and down. You know how it is when you’re placing pieces on your design wall towards the top. You’re standing on a stool, and bending all the way down to a regular table would be precarious. I just raise that stand up and my pieces are at my fingertips.
I just love the way my studio and office are working for me. This has been a real test-going back and forth between construction or quilting on the machine, photography, back to the computer, projects put aside one for another, etc. I am so pleased that my studio functions so well that it is not a total mess.
Short post folks. Maybe next week I’ll have more substance. In the meantime, check out the links at Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday.
Lovely!
Thank you Judy-glad you enjoyed it!
Look forward to seeing the end result of all this wonderful work. Thanks for sharing the process!!!
Thank you Paula-me too!
Just a note of encouragement for you to keep multi-tasking!
You are so thoughtful Martha-thank you!!
No need to apologize for lack of info or news. That post was great. The Bay cruise looks delightful. How sweet of you son and DDIL to think of something like that. We have 4 boys and would trade them for the world!
Your workspace looks great! I can’t imagine how mine would look trying to work and have construction going on. When the bathroom across from my sewing room was remodeled I had them tape the door shut to keep the dust out even though the contractor said there would be very little. Guess how many times I untaped and retyped that @$#%@ door!? I just couldn’t stay out of there!
Good luck of the writing and working.
Ugh, don’t even talk to me about remodels! My whole house was smooth as could be, it was the other stuff we did that was awful. Similarly, when our kitchen was remodeled, the used the zip walls every day EXCEPT the day they did all the grinding!! The house was filled everywhere with dust. I feel for ya Marlette. Thank you for the kind note.
Lunch looks great! Glad your book is coming along–so eager to see the final result.
Thank you Barbara! I’m excited!
Your work space is beautiful – I love the lightness of it. And of course your cruise looked fab.
Thanks Viktorya! I just love my studio space.
