Getting to the studio and Ground Hog day

Today I went over to the studio for the first time since Thursday last week. It was so nice to get out of the house even if it was only next door. lol

I did get alot accomplished, fat quarters ironed, all paperwork caught up, sale tax pd. 2 orders out the door, and I ripped some of the yellow brick road apart. I just didn't like the way the blocks were.

I plan on going over there again tomorrow and maybe doing some sewing.

Today was Ground Hog's Day and this morning they say that he saw his shadow but at my house it sure was cloudy until a little while ago when the sun came out. I'm hoping there won't be 6 more weeks of winter.

new work bench, snowdyeing

This snowdyed piece I did on Wednesday and let it batch until today. The sunsets lately have had alot of pink in with the blues sky so I thought maybe old rose and sky blue would make a great snowdyed piece. This is how it turned out. I think I may try the sky blue with coral still for different sky pieces.
Today I didn't think I was going to get anything accomplished. Yesterday I was gone all day and I ended up buying a workbench. Judy Laquidara
had posted on her blog about the one she got and I got to thinking about getting one. I had a card table that I used when I was snowdyeing and I noticed that I was getting dye on some fabric that was sitting behind it on a shelf so I thought that this bench might work out well. I have about 2 feet behind it so I can get to what is on the shelves behind it and then I have plenty of room between it and my longarm. It has some great drawers with dividers in it so I can put some of my smaller things in it and maybe I will be able to find things. My dh put it together for me and I couldn't dye and I couldn't get the quilt on my longarm quilted so I just sorta puttered around. I got the workbench at Sam's Club for those of you who have asked.

Needs a few more drawers!!
5 hours later it's done!!

Already using it for snowdyeing!!!
