Progress

 

As soon as Sydney loaded up her clean laundry to head back to UF, I started moving sewing things back into the studio.  It should be permanent this time!  Rather than cutting the design walls down 6 inches in height, I hung them horizontally for now.   I would like to build some bookshelves into that back wall eventually.   There is a staircase on the other side with lots of dead space which could be put to good use.   One thing at time though.  

Kurt is making good progress on the bathroom.  Every so often I help him hold something, but other than that, he has been chipping away at it slowly.  I will need to work on some major wall prep which is my fault as I didn't want more tile than was necessary.   We sent with a seamless penny tile floor instead of the big step up triangle shower pan that was there before.   I tried to find the most minimal round shower enclosure that I could. I guess there just aren't that many choices in round glass showers.     

In honor of blue for January, I sewed a blue binding on Streak of Lightning and started the hand sewing process.   There is a nice comfy chair downstairs where I can sit and sew while I keep the dog company.  She is in her last days now, and can't do the stairs anymore.   When she is downstairs we can keep the door open and she loves to wander in and out.   Do you have any slow stitching going on today?  You should head over to Kathy's Quilts where she celebrates the patient art of hand sewing.
