Before I explain my exodus from the house, let me show you my QST progress. This was taken in my new space with only a flash. No other photo enhancements were made, but I finally have natural daylight. I feel like I can see the full spectrum. What a difference that makes! This quilt is going to be large. The new design wall is 7' 7" x 8'--the dimension of 2 pieces of foam core insulation. Each was covered with quilt batting I found on a roll for $1.79 a yard. I attached it with hot glue, and then actually hot glued it to the wall. It will all peel off if I need or want to move it. I think I could use one more beside it, too. Let's Dream Big! I have one large window with light in front of my machines. And another here! Both are north facing, and so I have no blinding glare, just great afternoon light for photos. I have a great mess, but my husband promised to help me move my storage cubes soon. The room was used as a gaming room when all the kids were young. I was the mom that wouldn't allow video games in the house. Period. This was a way to control it. It later became a guest room, and now my learning center/studio. There are always a few drawbacks. No Wifi, and there are stairs. Imagine all the trips I made to move, but I think it was worth it. Why did I move? I moved for natural light, most of all. Also, to separate my home life from my work life. It's becoming more real when I have to close the door to the house, and walk 'to work'. There is complete quiet, or I can crank up Rock music without bothering anyone. I won't apologize for being in the way. My house will stay much cleaner without me dragging things up and down the stairs to photograph. Fewer chances of pins winding up in my husband's socks. And thankfully, it feels right. The Doxie Girls and I are totally convinced. It's time to Dream in Color. I've shown you my new space roughly done, but promise to update you as it comes together. In the mean time, I'm tagging my friend, Maryse, to show us her space. We both thought it would be fun to see the places regular people like us create. Would you like to be included in our game of Creative Space Tag? Leave me a reply below, or drop me an email, and be sure to include your own. Stay tuned to future posts, and I'll link you over to Maryse Makes Things when she's ready. Come on, Doxie Girls. Let's go sew.
