Almost There
Almost There. The studio is coming along. My Fire tablet can’t take a good picture or I don’t know how to use the feature to take the best shots.This is the etagere that will hold ten bins of yarn. Right now, it is sitting in the corner by the closet but after putting the table …
It’s Ready
It’s Ready. It’s all painted and the yarn has started to move in and I can’t believe this is going on. As the new space is filling up, the old space is emptying out and both of these yin and yang events are having a way with me. Right now, the thing that is bothering …

The Finish Line

Happy New Year
Don’t judge me. It took me a minute to remember I haven’t yet posted this year. I was doing the last few orders and the final was shipped off a few days ago and now I am free… …to start working on 2020 items. I did take a few hours off and played some Candy …
