The Treehouse Series

The Treehouse series #1-6

I put them on the pinup wall, not necessarily in order, but just to see how they look together.

I am satisfied with the group, for the time being, and now onto other things. The studio got cleaned up and the fabric put away, except for the sewing machine which is staying out, covered and ready should I need to sew new pajama bottoms (and I do!)

It seems like time to get out the knitting. I found I had nearly finished this pair of socks, except for one toe. Why would I have quit when the finish line was so close?

Good question. This is the Kaffe Fasset yarn, in suitably autumnal colors. I also found another pair of man-sized socks, just waiting for the toe shaping too. And 70% of a cardigan waiting for the rest of itself. So I have projects abounding.

Starting Monday I am having a deck built out from the studio sliders and into the garden. My big plan is to have a larger outdoor space for my whole family to fit in comfort at the dinner table. We managed to squeeze into a corner of the porch, but when anyone had to get up, it was musical chairs. And there is a hot tub in our future which will also be sited on the L-shaped space.

This photo was taken last November and kind of shows the plan. I have since changed it a bit. The left side shows flowers and plants, but now the deck will just expand to the retaining wall. This is where the hot tub will be, easily reached from the studio sliders. Then beyond that the patio will provide the larger dining area.

When one begins projects like this, one must be flexible, as unexpected things often arise. So we'll see what happens.
