a stroll through the studio

I was talking to an online friend the other day and she asked me how the studio was coming along.  We started renovating the downstairs into my studio about 2 years ago now I guess (mid 2009).  When the bottom fell out of the economy we lost all of our “extra” money, so the studio got put on the back burner.  Well, I just took a little part time job so I could make a little extra money to start working on the studio again.  As such, I decided I wanted to post some pics of the studio, even though its not how I want it (completed)…

In the door and down the steps, is my “craft cave”…

my wonderful craft table built by my dear man-thang.  The size = a king size bed. LOL!!  The base was the mattress insert out of our waterbed…  LOL  I would say 8 people could sit comfortably around the table, though I haven’t tried to have a class yet.
