Today the first truckload of fixtures and yarn left the old shop and moved into their new home on Dixie Avenue. It was like a huge exhale and I can finally breathe easily again. With the help of my dear Shop Angels, dozens and dozens of bags and cases of yarn and tools and needles were transported around the corner and await being placed onto shelves and walls.
The space feels amazingly spacious and open. The light is wonderful and the two huge windows are such a pleasure.
The walls and floors are freshly painted
and there is just a little cleaning of the unpainted Terrazzo floors in what will be an enclosed classroom/meeting space.
Down the right side, past the new cash desk, there is a long section of display space
leading to another smaller enclosed room
that will be a work space for
me where I can keep my projects separate from the shop goods. I really
love this!
Beyond, there is a yet another room which will be an office space for
keeping all the files and catalogs and all the paper that accumulates.
A few other big pieces from the barn at the farm will be moved tomorrow and then the restocking and creating the space will begin. For me, that is the most fun part of all.
