2024 Studio Post #28 - No pictures

I meant to write before we went on vacation to Michigan, but here I am a full week and a day late, and not much to show for it.

My studio is a disaster dumping zone. I didn't even bring any stitching with me. AND I got Covid and "shared" it with the whole family. Ugh.

This entry is for Sunday, 8/11 and Sunday, 8/18. We're home from vacation and recovering from illness. I did a tiny repair job on our quilt up at the lake (in early August) but didn't take a picture of it. 

I have moved a few of the kids' games from my studio closet down to the game cabinet (to make more room for fabric). 

Oh!!! I just thought of something fabric-related I can share from our Michigan trip! New entry on its way . . .

2024 Studio Post #19 - The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Since I didn't want to blog that I did nothing, but I had an over-busy week, I went into my studio to work on my 2024 Challenge piece. I'm very excited to do this piece! (And since I've entered it in the show, I need to get going on it. I need to drop off the finished wall hanging on June 11.) No pictures until I'm done, but I cut out the two-sided interfacing to start building my tree and branches.

That was the good. The bad is . . . my iron leaked all its water out. I was surprised, but started to fill it with more distilled water. Then I noticed that the water was pouring out. I've broken my iron! It got knocked to the ground last time I used it when I was trying to access the hallway closet and the door fell off. I'm sad. I hope it's fixable.

The ugly is my studio . . . it's been a dumping ground lately. I've pulled out bins and projects and then not put things away properly. I don't know that I'll have time to straighten it up before we head to the lake.
