This is why I have not posted for over a
month - we are doing an upstairs extension.
I am still quilting, and taking pictures of my work, but the stress and
time devoted to the extension has meant I have neglected my blog for way too
long.
I am very excited.
The room in the middle upstairs will be for my personal sewing and will
be open, light filled with lovely views of the city in the distance. The best bit is that I will have a walk-in
cupboard lined with shelves just for my fabric stash. So all my fabric will be
in one place rather than scattered in drawers and boxes all over the
house. Have I mentioned I am excited????
This is the picture of the house before the extension
started back in mid February.
Until about two weeks ago, when the roof tiles and guttering
was put on the roof of the lower level, I have been living under tarps of
different configurations as the extension moved though the sub floor and frame
stages.
Progress is going well, and so far I am very happy with the
builder. But I can’t wait until it is
finished and I can have my normal life back again.
Although I may be a bit slower in posting, I will keep on
showing some of the beautiful quilts I am lucky and honoured to be entrusted
with. I have several posts lined up over the next few days – so stay
tuned……
How exciting, Desley!!!!! I can't wait to see it all in completion!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the inside. That is quite the undertaking. We renovated 3 Bathrooms and a kitchen this winter so I can only imagine how happy you will be when it is all done!
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be one amazing sewing room! The end is in sight and you'll have your life back to normal soon!
ReplyDeleteOh Desley so pleased to see why we have not heard from you lately, I have missed seeing the lovely quilts and your beautiful quilting on them. Looking forward to seeing them again soon and may be a photo of your new studio!!!!! Cheers Glenda
ReplyDeleteI know how additions to one's home can be overwhelming! You are a lucky girl to have a brand new space with openness and natural light....and a view! :) Can wait to see it...and everything thing you have been working on in the meantime. Excited and happy for you!
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly understandable something had to give. Your addition looks very intense...I mean living under tarps!!! Sew glad the end is in sight. Sounds like it will be wonderful and definitely worth it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're getting a fabulous sewing room. Hang in there and can't wait to see your work again.
ReplyDeleteAll of your hard work is paying off. I can just imagine the wonderful quilting that will take place in your new studio. I myself dream of a sewing studio to be added to my home. I hope that you will share pictures of the new space after you are settled. I am excited and happy for you!
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting-and what a huge undertaking. I would not be blogging either! Can't wait to see the finished pictures-we just finished a small basement renovation for my sewing space so I can empathise after a bit you just want it DONE.
ReplyDeleteWow that is quite the project. Good luck, I'm sure it will be worth it once you are in your new sewing space.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be fantastic! Your own treehouse to quilt in! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge addition.... little more than a remodel. Fabric all in one place on shelves.. to die for!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun always nice to have more sewing space. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that's going to be...no wonder you are excited!
ReplyDeleteHi Desley,
ReplyDeleteI had been thinking of you and wondering how 'the mess' was going... no need to ask - It's progressing beautifully! Cheers
How exciting seeing it go up like this, it will be well worth any stress you are experiencing now!
