So here are the pictures of the door between my sewing and dyeing rooms. Sewing and Dyeing room. Singular.The next thing to be worked on will be the slop sink, scroll down to see. So all the boxes you see in this photo will be moved to the left hand side, the sink will have a frame of 2x4's with a countertop extension along the right hand portion of this photo. You can't really tell from this photo how the room will be set up. I can see having a few students into the space!
All these boxes are not studio supplies. Until we get some of the doors we need hung, this room became the catch all. The place where we stored stuff so that we didn't have to sit among towering boxes.

I look forward to the day all of the boxes are unpacked. This flexible, elastic approach to life is incredibly tiring. I want normalty, comfort. The ability to play with dye if I am not in the mood to sew. I want to know where everything is.
There is some sort of elusive quality that I feel is lacking. I know that with time I/we will regain it, but boy is it hard to live without. Maybe it is simple as feeling grounded, in Connecticut I felt it. I knew all my friends were available to me, I could call them and it felt right, accesible, like I was just 20 minutes away from contact. I have some new friends, some fantastic people gathered round, no doubt about it. But we are still bonding.

I would love it if the growing pains would just stop. Just give me a break.
So anyway! I bet this sink weighs 150 pounds! Big and beautiful.

Once your workspace is set up you will start to get back into the creative habit, I'm sure of it.
Cheers
Claire
PS, those floors you have are lovely :-)
