New House, New Studio

After 15 months of RV living while waiting for our house to be built, we are FINALLY moved in!  Yay!  Closing day was January 27th, and we started moving the second the papers were signed. 

At this writing, I can say that we are finally feeling comfy and cozy in our new digs.  It has been a slow-and-steady-wins-the-race kind of a process from buying the lot until now.  Every day that we inched closer to being settled brought another sigh of relief.  I can't help but wonder if our sighs could be heard for miles around like the whisper of a distant wind.  

Fred, do you hear that whispering wind? 

Yes Blanch, but it's just the Kellers.  There's nothing to be concerned about. 

My new creative space is about half the size of my previous workspace, if not smaller, and I'm in love with it!  I am looking forward to starting projects as soon as a few other things are in order but it won't be long.  

The New Studio

Starting out, the walls were a very light tan, almost white. For a color-loving gal, tan does not do the job.  Being anxious to get settled, I didn't want to delve into a big painting project so we opted to paint one wall pink.  When I say "we," I mean that I opted, and hubby Geo painted.  He's an awesome fella!  

Actually, he told me it would be faster for him to paint rather than both of us.  He's good at it and it means only one set of brushes and rollers to clean up.  

Well, if you insist!  

After all, there were plenty of other things for me to do... like take pictures!  

Both of us painted the 

fat-quarter shelves yellow. 

As I pulled the fat quarters out of the tub and began to sort and organize them, I found great joy in being reunited with each and every one of them.  It was fun!

Pulling the room together, 

I kept the following quote in mind:

"A place for everything

 and everything in its place!"

My aunt helpfully conveyed those words of wisdom to me when I was a teen.  I never forgot them, and the older I get, the more I adhere to them.  

Of course, in this case, things only stay in place until a project is started. Everything goes awry after that!

The Finished Studio

Come on in!

This is the sewing corner...

...and here's the 

painting & mixed media corner.

The entire sewing & painting 

side of the room.

The computer and other furniture 

sits across from the sewing & painting areas.

I'm very thankful for this room. 

God is so good!

It appears that our sweet 

canine kiddos are departing.

I guess that's my queue to finish up as well.

Have a blessed and beautiful evening.

Be back soon.

Tootles Y'all,
