New Year, New Space, New Beginning

Back from the holidays...filled with fun times with family, but also not-so-fun times with the flu.  Seems like we're not alone in having been hit by the bug this season.  I had visions of completing all kinds of tasks  - designing new images, packaging, website updates etc. etc.  Really, what was accomplished was a whole bunch of sleeping, shivering, and popping meds on a steady diet of nyquil, sudafed, and tylenol cold....

Next up - getting the studio in order and ready
for 2013.   We have lots of big plans, and are definitely excited about a new place to realize them.  Here are some photos of the workshop in progress.  Insulation, windows, skylight, walls, floor.  That was all done before the holiday.  But upon our return it was straight to Home Depot, on a mission to outfit the inside with work benches and shelves, to create the organized craft haven I've been craving for years.   Organizing doesn't come naturally, so starting out on the right foot will definitely help keep things running like a well oiled machine...instead of a machine that's constantly searching for the right pliers and that darned glue stick :)

This is the beginning of workbench construction.  Lots of plans, lots of excitement. 

Lots to come....Happy New Year! Kate
