After a lot of help from friends, I can start making work in my studio.
The laser is focused, and vented (thank you Jared! all your climbing about on the windowsills, and your cheerful gargoyle impression) and fabrics are unpacked and sorted and filed into bins (thank you Cathy! your suggestions are still on my desk and sorting goes so much better with you) and the rest of the boxes are unpacked and put away (thank you Jeanne! your help and good cheer when it was So Cold in here was so valuable). I still have the label maker here, but almost everything has a label now. Having more than enough space for the things I have here feels so expansive – there is room for my work, friends’ work, a friend to visit. There are still things uncategorized and in boxes, but for the most part, it is time to buckle down.
