Still no desk as such to show you this week. Every afternoon this past week has been spent down the unit getting my stu-stu-studio ready. There has been scrubbing and painting and sweeping and hoovering a plenty going on.
Breaking news *insert appropriate newsflash music here* I remembered the camera today so this is where we are right at this very moment.
Starting pictures are in the post below...
This will become my clean area and will have my sewing machine and old PC on, I'll also probably use it for drawing and stuff like that. On the opposite wall Craig is going to put some racking up.
And before you ask - yes I did paint straight over the pin board. If it was nailed down, it got painted ;)This is going to be my messy area. That shelving unit is really, REALLY sturdy. Craig tried to saw it in half when he first got the unit and it bit back. His pain is my gain however. *g* My sister said she has a spare bit of kitchen worktop so if it's still available I'll be putting that on the top, lick of paint to the shelves and this will be my messy, painty station. My easel will also go up this end.
...and finally this is my view through the adjoining window. Craig - my landlord, soon to be accountant and my lovely blokey. Doesn't he look poorly, bless'im.
So looks like you were all right and we may have overestimated our 6 weeks - it's looking like it will be sometime next week I'll be in! Eek! It's exciting and scary at the same time.Fancy snooping round some more desks and doing a bit of flashing yourself? Head on over to the wondrous one known as Julia and link up so we can all find you :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice one :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteTold you you'd be in very soon... all it took was someone to give you a stu-stu studio for you to get all active...who knew? ;p
My internet just failed, my passwords just failed it is taking forever to load the damned blogs and I soooo wanted to do loads of desks today - now I will give up and will do the stu stu studio and a few at random and go do art instead
ReplyDeleteI am just too tired to fight blogger...
I can't wait to see your space up and running:)
ReplyDeleteLooking good Mrs!! Keep at it and you'll be in before you know it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's coming along nicely. Look forward to seeing how it progresses.

OMG that is going to be the most awesome crafty space EVER!!!! You know you're going to have to make some layouts or an art journal showing the evolution of your space, right? lol
ReplyDeleteGirl, I so wish I was there to help and play with some stuff!!!
woop woop! knew it wouldnt take you long mrs motivation!!!!! i looooove it!!
ReplyDeleteWow the new space is really looking good Carmen :-)
ReplyDeleteA x
I am intrigued. Are you going into business?
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great! Craig looks like he's working hard, too!
ReplyDeleteI´m sure it will be a great place to create in!
ReplyDeleteCan´t wait to see the result!
OH I'd love to do a ground up design of a craft room. Looks like you've got it all figured.
ReplyDeleteOoh I read this last night and didn't get chance to comment, the stu-stu-studio is coming along sooooooo well you'll be in there creating before you know it!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good day!

Carmen this looks great, it's really coming along fast...I had 3 weeks and 2 days in the sweep stake, am I close???!!!! Are you going to put some of your wonderful art up on the walls? x
ReplyDeleteOver estimated? I bet that feels like another Christmas present in itself!
ReplyDeleteIt will all have been worth the wait. Not only will it be big, it will have that lovely smell of newness, which lasts for ages. Have fun in your new space!!

Looks like it's moving along. Can't wait to be green with envy when it's done!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the peek and sharing. Hug, Marjo #22. Happy WOYWW
I would Love to tell you that I am an Ace photographer.
ReplyDeleteBut I am not
I have a Nikon D80 with The Most Expensive Lens I could Afford - the lens cost me more than the body (you saw it in action (only you didn;t because you were too engrossed in your art) when I visited you, it's how I got that (half) shot of you...
sometimes I use it properly but you can set it up so it does all the work for you,
and it captures in RAW
which means when you open a raw image in photoshop you can adjust the image to match the real thing if the camera did not capture it completely accurately. So long as you do not over expose ) so no nekkedness)
i never bother much for the blog - but for things like my paintings - I photograph them accurately so I can put the originals on my proper website to sell...then I can also use the images for anything else I want to do too...
it also means you can do some really arty farty photography when you want to, keep an archive and generally realise it is no wonder I only get three good paintings out of myself per year.
but it also means getting up at day break and being out at sunset and it takes hours to get a good shot...
and it constantly reminds me how crap out daylight is in the uk.
if you want a good camera at a reasonable price get one of the panasonic compacts that have the leica lens - it does fab stuff at a lower price than you would normally pay just for the lens for an SLR...
because I like having nice stuff - that is why I work silly hours.
Wow, you are so lucky to have you very own stu-stu-studio...lol! Can't wait to see what it looks like after it's completed! You must be super excited!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek! :D

ReplyDeleteooooh how exciting, I can't wait to see pics of your new studio when it is finished :)

ReplyDeleteWow missus it's coming along nicely. I'm amazed you didn't paint Craig too. Amazing space. When you moving in..? Jaqui x
ReplyDeleteOh my lord, Carmen - it's amazing! To say I am jealous is an understatement (but envious is a much nicer word - you deserve it!). I've just had a little catch up on your blog and I am totally in awe of your goals for 2011 - I have no doubt that you'll do brilliantly, but you know we are all here cheering you on...
ReplyDeleteWow your own studio I'm jealous and you get it to spend it with your lovely bloke which is lovely.
ReplyDeleteCarmen this is such an excitement! 2011 and Craig and the unit and...gosh, my head is spinning for you. It's an awesome amount of space....no doubt you won't even notice the creeping sort of filling up that happens!
