May 19: Plan of the Day

Last night, we spent a very enjoyable evening sitting around our friends' fire pit and just renewing our friendships.  Then this morning we decided we would sleep in a bit before getting started on the next projects.  In order to do these projects, we again made a trip into Sioux Falls (not really a long drive but always means spending money). 

Before heading out, we finished the last of the laundry, now that the washer is in good working order, again.  We discovered that a screen needed to be repaired (It was repaired at ACE and is back in the window already.)  We also figured out how to put the screens into the storm doors, so we have a very nice breeze coming through the house. 

After returning from our errands we unloaded the car and had lunch,and then we started on my project.   Here are a few shots of what it looked like when we went down into the studio after lunch.  Horror of Horrors, what a mess!  BUT I see the big picture in my head and am hoping that it comes out just like I have envisioned it.

This is how the entrance to the studio looked
when we headed down to the space to start
working this afternoon.
Once in the studio this is the next mess you
could see.

As you continued  to look right you can see even more mess,
but there is also the promise of organization starting to happen.

Here is the man in charge of making the wall cabinets functional.
The countertops will not go on until June, but I can start filling them.
Once that is finished, he will be building shelves in the triangular
sloped nook.
As you can see, we are really starting to set up myquilt studio.  Actually, I am taking a break while Kevin finishes rearranging and installing two more shelves for my quilting books, sketchbooks, DVDs, and patterns.  Tha tnook space just is not big enough for the two of us to work in it at one time, and we decided that once  he has the shelves done, he will be free to go work in the wood shop while I arrange books and fabric to my heart's content.

Life is GOOD!

It is good to be able to catch up with you again. I enjoyed your adventures in Vermont this past year. I am a fellow South Dakotan but live on the West Coast for now. I will be out there in August to visit my older siblings. Enjoy your settling in phase. Daisy

That is so cool to finally have your own room. I share my room with my 23 yr old son, or rather, I let him sleep on the floor in my sewing room. haha!
One day, in our next house I hope to have a space all to myself, a basement, a shed, something.
What a joy that your man is so handy!
