It's time to expand our workspace again. This time we're connecting two of our three home offices for better workflow. It's going surprisingly quickly. Isaac is the Incredible Hulk in there, tearing through walls, grunting, chewing on nails.
Isaac used to remodel homes back in college, so I'm in good hands. Of course, he did saw through some electrical wiring, leaving us without internet for a few days this week.
Everything is connected back up now—see those two gray junction boxes on either side of the passageway, with the wiring strung above?
The new sheetrock goes up today and then it's onto mud. We haven't decided what we're going to do with the wood floor yet, but we'll figure that out after we sweep up.
I plan to make this space into a pattern workshop down the road: sewing machines, cutting tables, dress forms, fabric stacks, thread. What I really need to do is host a talent search and get more help. So You Think You've Got American Sewing Talent?
I’ve got sewing talent! But I am afraid it is Australian sewing talent 🙁
I would love to be that “help”. The commute from Tampa would be tricky, though!
I’m in! Let me know when you plan to hold auditions 😉
I have talent 🙂 sign me up!
Talented in Scottsdale… give me a ring!

Man, I need an Issac around here!! He cooks, cleans and can re-model. Isaac, you are hired:) I have sewing talent here if you need it. We need lots of new Heather at the shop so I am hoping you find some talent. Let me know if I can help with any research or sewing from my end.

Ooooh, I love me some architectual detail. Love the arch. Looks great!
I cracked up when I read he was chewing on nails! That’s awesome! We are converting the space above our garage to be my new studio space…I can’t wait. Love the arched doorway! -kg
When are the auditions?! Sewing experience galore! In Phoenix area…purdy darn close 🙂
Whenever I see blank walls, I can’t stop myself thinking of how to decorate it. Anyway, hanging a graphic quilt is an easy solution to the “big blank wall” issue.
Contemplating colors of paint for my home – love the yellow on your studio walls – even though I’ve had a shade of yellow on mine for the last 20years, I NEED yellow walls! What’s the name of the paint, please?
Self-taught and up for an audition, but sadly in the U.K.!!! 🙁
