  1. The shelves are to DIE for! great job and nice organizing. I finally got to see the Lost Words book and what exquisite paintings went along with .them. Thank you for keeping this in the foreground. No leaves here yet wither but they are coming, now we need RAIN.

    • Right?? to die for! The paintings by Jackie Morris in the Lost Words are so beautiful. I am glad you got to access the book. We need rain too! Hope the clouds come soon.

  2. such beautiful imagery and sharing. what a lovely studio space! i look forward to following along with the creativity that arises from there.
    and oh! the loons. one of my favorite sounds in the world. the call of the sandhill cranes out here in montana gives me the same goosebumps and thrill. xox

  3. I love it how you divided the room into “calm, introspection and inspiration” and creating! Rob made some beautiful shelving for you. And it was great to see Ruby pop in as well πŸ™‚

  4. Beautiful video. I love your personal space. Hoping to get back to our house in the Adirondacks in two weeks. It has been a year and a half, Covid, and I can;t wait to see our forest, mountains and waterways nearby.

  5. HI Sarah, I don’t know if you have figured out the duster problems yet, but had a bit of inspiration … I don’t know if this would work for the duster, but would a strip of a long rectangular shape along the division between front and back, from lower hem through arm syce and to wrist, possibly with some tapering needed, that you might have to have an assistant to help with the placing of the tapers at the arm syce, work? Might be easier to imagine, or do actually,Β  as two really long pentagons (house shapes with lots of height, and a long tapered roof) with the roof points meeting at the under arm point. Either in the same fabric or pieced fabrics of similar weight to the original depending on how you want this thing to be. Take Care,Jen

    • Hi Sarah, when you insert the sleeve into the bodice do you use a gathering thread in the seam allowance of the sleeve as then you can draw it up to fit the bodice evenly without puckers
