Today, Mr C said, "I am going to install your new lights." And he did and they are awesome. They are just industrial fixtures with T8 full spectrum florescent bulbs. There are two eight foot fixtures. This photo looks dark because I took it with out a flash, but believe me the light in the studio is fantastic now.
I spent most of the day unpacking stuff and attempting to get organized. I am going to have to work in chaos for awhile because I have some deadlines and no time to make the studio perfect right now. So, here is my sewing space for today:
To celebrate, I made this postcard!!
The background fabric is some art cloth I made in Jane’s class. It is shibori dyed and discharged. I cut the circles from sheer silk fabrics. I actually remembered how to use the sewing machine. I was sewing on my Bernie and for a moment, I forgot how to set the needle down position. I think I will do another one of these and do some hand stitching.
Glad you are finally IN the studio even if it isn’t done yet….And thanks for posting those pictures of the lights. I was mulling over what to do about lighting in the dye studio in the basement. Plumber comes at 8am tomorrow to install the sink!!

Let’s see — we could call your new little piece “sheerbori” — okay, the naming discussion on QA got the better of me!
Whatever you name it, I like it!
Doesn’t it feel great to actually be able to sew something? I got to sew this weekend too, big time. Maybe someday soon I can call myself a quilter again. LOL
