I am no longer alone in my space!

I am now sharing the room! I am no longer all by myself. Pat is a painter. She moved in, and you can see one of her pieces on the back wall. We have talked, and I expect that we are going to create a wall space between us. She needs more space into which she can use to hang her work.

In the mean time, you can see that I have started working on the atturah stripes for the boy scouts tallis that I am producing. In the next couple of days I will try to remember to take pictures of my progress in working.

Working on a Boy Scout Tallis

I know that I have not updated my blog for quite a while. Things have been very exciting and I have had a lot to worry about. My son is in the process of dealing with applications to graduate school opportunities and getting well installed into the new studio have kept me busy! Attached are some new pictures of the status of the studio.

As you can see, I am now hanging things that I have made and things that I am working on. I have also cleaned up the area where I work. The table needs a little more work, but it is ready to go. Also, you can tell that I am setting up my loom right now. I'll have to put pictures of the things as soon as I make a little more progress on the boy scout tallis set.

I am also beginning to work on the design of a Chuppah for the soon coming wedding. I'll have to soon start putting up pictures of the designs for the Chuppah as I make progress.

Right now, I'm off to work on dinner for this evening. I'll add a few more pictures here at the end of the post so that people can see other pictures of the studio.

I think everything is now there!!!

Boy does it need clean up and organization!!! As you can tell, I have moved everything into my space but I have not taken the time needed to organize all the things I brought. The looms, work space, spools of fiber and more are now in my studio room. The two small pictures are additional views of the space. The problem I have right now is that of organizing everything.

I have started working on using the big loom to make sure that I put it together correctly and to make sure that it still operates correctly. I am making some simple towels.

Once this simple work is done, I will go to work on all the other things that I need to accomplish soon. I have a number of ordered items that I need to spend my time. I also need to go to work organizing everything. Going through the piles and ordering things so that I can use this stuff officially!

The pictures are views of the way things looked at the end of the day. It looks to me like I still need a few things. As I figure out these things, I'll buy and add them to the space.

Starting work on the new studio!

Here is the end of the first day of work in the new studio! I brought a lot of things with me just to start to get an idea about the area. It really filled in a lot of the space. I can't wait to reorder as I bring all the little things that need to go. I am sure that now I will be bringing a few things everyday. The critical weaving materials are there and that get's me started. I need to order some more material, but I thought I would get started anyway!

I picked up some of my existing cotton material and started on some new towels. I really don't care about the colors of the towels, I am most important about checking to make sure that the rebuild for the loom was ok. I'll now once I have woven for a while.

Tomorrow I will bring some thing that will make it easier to organize my books, etc.

I'm moving in.

Today I started moving my stuff to my new studio. Here is the way it started and the way it looked at the end of the day. I have a lot more to move, but it will soon be much better than it is at present.

It was quite an effort to pack all this stuff at home. I took my looms apart into small pieces and carried them in my car and in the car of someone that helped me. I managed to get this to my room at 1:30 in the afternoon.

Then I worked all afternoon and by 4:30 I had almost everything organized. I still have a lot to move.

Tomorrow, I will pack up a lot of things move them tomorrow. I'll be sure to put pictures tomorrow as the studio fills in.
