Studio Space



This is where we work:


we've given up having a proper living room with a couch, television and coffee table in lieu of having a studio. I love it. It means that our bed is a loft bed and our couch is a small one that fits underneath. It works well and it's a worthwhile sacrifice in order to have an actual dedicated workspace.

Lock made a long table out of a door, and I found a sewing table on the side of the street. They fit next to each other perfectly in the room. I am in love with the door table. It's bracketed onto the wall on one side and has a custom built leg on the other. It's a great workspace.
The cats like to watch birds outside of the window. And then they make c-c-caah-cah-c-c-c sounds.
And of course there's lots of places to hang half made necklaces and other doo-dads.



The other half of the room goes to Justin, which I guess is OK. Except that he needs to use his half more often. That's his painting on the left. The bookshelf/cabinet is from Ikea and is fantastic. We also have a space heater, which the cats and Mason love.

In the Beginning

We've been getting everything ready for our grand soft opening. Yes; it's been going on for a little while now. There are about 5 items on etsy and we're ever so slowly adding more. Each item takes a long time--between the taking the photos, choosing the five best and writing the item description, I feel like I'm on a rate of about one item an hour (or more). It's taking for-ev-er. But! It's actually happening, and that's exciting.

Last Saturday (yes, Halloween) we purchased a table at the Brooklyn Indie Market. According to the other vendors it was slow, but we still made out pretty well. The set-up time was 9:00 and we were there by 8:57--neither one of us ever gets to places early! And there was no one there--even after we were let in there wasn't another vendor until about 9:45. For a while, we were afraid we'd be the only people there and that would definitely be pitiful. But, we weren't so we'll be there again next Sunday--November 7. Please, stop by!
