The Ladder has left the studio

I am finished with the hanging...for now.

This quilt, Parallel Paths (1997, 72.5" x 47.5") is a pretty large piece and hasn't been hung in either of our houses in a long time.

I found another frame in my garage to reframe the Orbit painting on the top. I know the spacing between the three is not even, but I am not going to let that bother me...until I have to drag that ladder back into the studio.

The long wall.
I hung these two felted works from artist Karen Hampton that I always found inspiring.

I mounted the one above in a shadowbox frame and I am considering reframing this one below. It has non glare glass, which obscures the artwork to a fault.

PS. Dave was on his way to Atlanta at 3:30am today to play baseball, when a herd of five or more deer ran in front of him, spinning the car around several times and landing him in the median. Again, he was lucky to have no injuries, but did call 911 to report the accident. The car is a muddy mess, but got him home OK. I am not nuts to be a worrier.

OK Just when you'd think now that the studio is done I would jump right in and start creating. But you'd be WRONG. Because I have been so focused on this one project, the rest of the house has gone to the dogs.

I walked into the living room, devoid of its sofa, with chairs awry, and noticed all the dead flies on the window sills and other too-disgusting-to-mention things that needed my attention. I can only begin to imagine what the rest of the house looks like.

Dave too has been singularly focused for days, repairing the new old truck Ugly Betty. I pray he is nearly done, and when he is, we must tackle the rest of this house together. But of course things won't settle down completely. We will be sans auto for a while while the PT gets fixed, and hopefully Ugly Betty will be driveable. I must get my hair cut on Thursday or it's the Norelco for me!
