Crochet Exchange

So, if I was thinking of starting up a Crochet Exchange, would anyone be interested? I'm thinking Granny Daughter's, like 20 per month. Let me know what you think - strngbn@lycos.com or Twitter @agecrochet

With a Little Help from My Friends

So, since the weather sucked today, Sarah and I spent a large part of the day working on my studio. The result is a snow day that managed to actually be a productive day. We moved a ton of stuff into the studio including my computer desk, which is going to allow me to be a lot more productive all around - especially since Black Jack on Pogo is not worth climbing 2 flights of stairs for.

I'm going to need some more shelving and also some more totes and shoeboxes, but it's definitely starting to look like a studio in here. I'm really happy with what we got done today, and I think that tomorrow, I might see if Hubby will help me bring the comfy chair up. Also, I may start setting up my sewing area and get a floor lamp or two up here for when I need extra lighting.

I've been labeling the homes for everything, that way if someone else is helping me up here, it'll be really easy for anybody to put everything exactly where it belongs.

So far, so good, I think. I'm really happy with how things are coming together and I think that the organization, although somewhat pricey is going to be worth it in the long run.

Snow day

Taking advantage of the snow day to work in the studio. The more I get done in the studio, the easier the rest of everything else will be to clean. I hope. That's what I keep telling the husband anyway. Also, it keeps the cat happy, he likes the window seat up there.

Need to get some music up there to keep me moving, also the computer desk and possibly the comfy chair. Will need more totes, more shoeboxes and a bigger trashcan.

Studio Updates

The studio progress reports will be happening in a text box at the bottom of the blog. I hate to bury it down there, but it was the only place the even approached making sense. If you're interested, check it out. If not, you'll never even notice it.
