the shop!

{new acquisitions, creations, and scenes of slow progress, but progress all the same}

So here's the problem: when you're trying to get a functioning woodshop going but you care about aesthetics, the days just aren't long enough. I've got piles of work to do, but the designer in me won't let me start working until things are at least semi in order. Is that new little seven-watt desk lamp I made crucial to me beginning a headboard or two? No. But it absolutely has to be there. Once it was in my head, how can I live without it there on my wall? Impossible! It's the little things that make you feel settled and at home. Details. Oh, how important they are. My chisels happily sitting on their new tool magnet make me feel capable, ready, but I wouldn't feel that way if they were still in a box on the floor. It's ridiculous, I know, but 'tis what it 'tis! 

And on a less dignified note, let me just say that.... 

OMG I LOVE MY NEW STUDIO!!!

 

{p.s. Have you ever seen more crooked doors? Most people tear those things out but, you know.. I put them IN! Bwahahah!}
