For the past few days we’ve been in studio mode. Steve’s working on pendants for gifts for “girlfriends”. He’s got a bit of a backlog on promised pieces but sneaking in a surprise piece also. Besides the jewelry bench upstairs, his studio includes a heat station at the kitchen range. That’s where he does all the torch work. Part of Karen’s impetus to get into the studio was a desire to use and get to know the newly acquired weasel. This weasel has a 90 inch or 2.5 yard circumference and goes “pop” after 102 revolutions. Since most of her skeins are shorter than that she needs to count revolutions but it’s still a lot easier to measure length with it than with her niddy noddy. She doesn’t have any weaving projects in progress right now but is formulating some ideas. There is some llama yarn on the Lendrum wheel and some surprise yarn on knitting needles. But more than anything else we’re enjoying time together in the studio and some quiet time for allowing inspiration to strike.
How wonderful that you’re both enjoying studio time together!
Looking at all your postings to catch up on your goings and comings. Glad you made it home safely. Looks like you are back in the swing of being home. It was wonderful seeing you both in Maggie Valley this past Aug. – by the skin of our teeth. It was meant to be! I’m sure fall was beautiful in NC. We didn’t make it back up and we missed it. Have been spending time with grand kids and enjoying every minute. Please tell all family hello for us and remember you are always welcome to come stay on the banks of the Manatee River anytime.
Hugs,
Lynn & Art
