chair repair

When we bought the tanker desk they threw the chair in for 5 bucks.  The arms were covered with duct tape but the rest of the chair looked really good.  I wasn't sure if it was worth repairing because for 5 bucks I figured the chair was probably broken.  Nope.  It is in great shape and I had the leather vest from a thrift store find.  With help from my sweet husband I was able to recover the armrests and set up a sewing room in my old studio.  Guess I need to learn to sew a little better.












Little Riki can run like the wind when you call him.  Here RIKIIIIII!  My SLR Nikon D50 camera is fast and I got off one shot and he was here.  Love those action shots.  Look at his tail!  He had to have a major summer haircut because he got in the pool one time and it ruined his hair.  Mats everywhere.  He is really well behaved when I cut him so he turns out a lot better than Buster.  I do like his hair long so hope it will grow back.  I was just sick that I had to cut his long ears but look how cute he is without them.  
I am going back to World Market for some blue curtains.  I've decided not to dye the silk, just move it to the next room.  I love it so much but the gold color just doesn't match the green tanker.  They have some cotton broomstick curtains that will be cute with my mismatched raskog and green desk.  I really think it will pull it all together.  He is painting the master bath so I am going to buy some new towels too.  Big fun!

art room chaos

 Riki had a heyday with the feather boa this morning!







It is very disturbing to see all my art supplies EVERY where.  My sweet husband finally got the closet painted so I can now sort some things and try to organize the hoard again.  The only good thing about all this painting and moving my crap is seeing what I have.  It is embarrassing and inspiring all in the same moment.

Creative chaos

New beginnings.  I bought this wire lantern thingy at the pool store for fifteen bucks.  I'm going to make it into chimes.  Buster refuses to let me use the million dollar grooming devise so I use it for chime making.  

My studio is a wreck!  But I am totally inspired.

Spent yesterday using the dishwasher to distress my aluminum.  My husband wasn't real thrilled but no harm done. 

I use a plastic tray to gather any items that might make it special.  I can then return the drawers after each project and have the tray for the next project.

I have so many projects going at once the studio is a mess!

Tabled but not forgotten.  This is what I really want to work on but trying to heal the knot in my shoulder.  Wish I could figure out how to paint those baby heads without holding it with the other hand.  I guess I need to pace myself and not do it for forty eight hours straight.

Chime parts and pool basket.

These bells are ready to hang.

Studio 2012




Took a couple of weeks but I've switched my desk up and now can see it! Like the new set up and eager to start a big project.

Buster had bedhead this morning.
John hung my paper behind my door yesterday. I wanted it in the hall but he insisted it stay in the studio. I really don't know what he is talking about. If it were up to me the house would be the studio.

studio


Love the new set up! Look forward to making some art in here!

Busty's corner


Buster stays "tucked in" until at least noon.

My corner


This is the final corner of the studio! My shelf holds so much that I'm very excited about it.

Craft storage


I love this view of my studio. I never want to leave this room.
