Making progress towards a studio.



Several years ago, it seems, I annexed the garage as studio space for my weaving, spinning, and allied activities, as they were expanding into all the living areas of the house.

We had the floor concreted and bought some second-hand windows to install – first priority being to block where the car-entry door had been.

This weekend the window went in, a superb effort by my loving not-a-builder husband. He even found some almost matching cladding, to fill in the gaps till we can reclad the whole shed.

We extended the concrete on one end, to increase the space, and this end still needs to be walled in, but the window is a very definite step forward.

I have a workshop on felting booked for next week, so next project is to dye the 2 kilos of wool needed for that - five grades at local primary school making a wall hanging each, plus their take-home piece.

More about that later.

    Wow, that is progress, as seems to be what I am doing down here!
    Good luck with the workshop in a fortnight, my photos have arrived where I wanted them. Must do something on the family blog next.

    Looks great! you don't need walls, it's nearly summer ;-)

    People who think you don't need walls *sighs bitterly* should try laying out wool for pre-felts on a breezy day!
    On a windy day one would not be mad enough to try, but intermittent attacks just when it seems safe are incitement to muttered words about slow builders.
