moving in.

The wall units have been assembled and I have begun the process of moving all my supplies up in the studio. I have butterflies in my stomach its been rather exciting after all the blood sweat and tears getting to this point.
I've been limping all week though with a badly brusied foot after a wooden table we purchased collapsed as I moved it slightly last Sunday. We were horrified to see how it was made, tiny screws holding it together, we returned it to the hardware store they were also horrifed and removed their stock from the shelves. Imagine how dangerous it would have been if it had collapsed on small children or at an event hot food items. I shudder to think. We were refunded and ended up purchasing another plastic topped table from the opposition hardware store.
I am loving all these clean plastic storage containers that come on wheels, so easy to store your items and to find them again. I must admit I really need to curb my desire to purchase knitting wool, I mean I don't knit but I have 2, 3 drawer containers full of various wool. Course I'm only admitting to you all on this list as I know you will understand.
So glad we painted it all white as the various fibres add all the colour I need. I t will be so lovely to start a project and not have to rush etc, to finish and tidy away I don't know how I have managed all these years. Will take some photos over the next few days as I get more organized.

Looking forward to seeing the piccies! It all sounds lovely and white is the best studio colour because it bouces the light around.
The wooden table incident was awful - as you say it could have been disastrous in different circumstances.

Totally understand your desire to purchase knitting wool but it does come in handy from time to time doesn't it? That makes it a necessity.

Yes, yes, do post photos. I had to clean out my studio room as we are having guests coming this weekend. Had to put the bed back in. It is wonderful to have a place for everything and having your own studio is great. And of course, who doesn't have a bunch of knitting yarn? I've never knitted in my life and I have at least 3 tub fulls...

I am sure you will really enjoy having your own space. It is so nice having a place to put everything and leave a project half done.

I admit to a large storage tote of yarn, mostly wool. It is very necessary to decorate my felt. I am known to knit on very rare occasions. Right now I am knitting a shawl on big needles. I had to get the yarn from a friend who has to much of everything fiber. She is lots of fun to visit. It probably won't be finished till Christmas.

I can't wait to see photos
I bet it's great to have lots of space, and like you say not have to rush to do things/get everything put away.

I'm admitting to a yarn stash too, boxes of fancy fibre/novelty yarn stuff. I've never knitted either

I am another one with a wool stash. I have just started to do some freeform knitting and crochet. I am having a ball.......

I really love these novelty yarns, but have one drawer of plain boring wool I will probably never use, I was reading the local paper yesterday and there was a story about a local group of women knitting hot water bottle covers for the people of Christchurch whose homes have been damaged in the big earthquake they had. I will sort out a bag full of wool and give the lady a ring today and gladly pass it onto them.
