Did I mention this was to be a quiet Christmas at home for us this year? Oh, I'm sure i did, but since our Cabinet guy told us we were free to start loading up the cabinets with our stuff even though the countertops aren't in place, we just couldn't resist.
Here's the finished patterns in their respective storage drawers ready for mailing! I can't believe how much extra room we have now!

So with all the dragging of boxes in and out of the room, it became very apparent that the "boys" were scared to death to come into the new studio with us. Why???? What possible reason could they have to be so afraid of that room? And then it dawned on me... it's the concrete!

Those knuckleheads have never walked on concrete before, (only carpet, tile and wood).
As you know, neither is known for their bravery, but of the two, Jeter always leads the way.

Eventually, curiosity got the best of Joba and since nothing had swallowed Jeter up yet, I guess he decided it was safe to check out the room as well.
Of course, we were holding our breath because as you can see by the body language, all it would take at this point was one noise, (God forbid a sneeze), & it would be two black/white blurs zooming out of that door. And even though this would be hysterical, (and a good way to check out the anti-blur function on my new camera), we want them to LIKE the new room, so we resisted.
So the end is in sight. This week brings the carpet and the countertops, then it's MINE!! What a GREAT way to start a new year!
As we tell our boy-cats "Be big and brave". The girl-cat is, of course, fearless. They don't have the nickname "pussy" for nothing.
ReplyDeleteOnce it's all finished, with all the accoutrement, you'll wish they never got brave enough to come in.
It's gorgeous. I'm drooling.
Indeed... it's a wonderful start to the new year!! It will be so fun to create your next new pattern in that inspiring studio. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Kathy. I know I would be beside myself with excitement and ready to roll out the carpet myself so I could get going on sewing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a beautiful start to the New Year!
That one room is as big as my whole apartment. OH! what I'd give to have never retired and become penniless! I'm SO jealous! Congratulations!
