Spinning diggs

Behold my new spinning studio! Three years ago I spent a weekend painting this upstairs attic room so that LB, at age 3, could have a bedroom that would make him smile and bounce. This week, I spent 3 days transferring all my fibery stuff into that very same room and moving his bedroom and our bedroom into my old spinning room. The plan is to move both bedrooms downstairs and have the spinning studio and the music/art room upstairs. However, since the previous art room, the one downstairs, is not ready for LB to move in (we tried to convince him the hole through to the bathroom was a feature but he didn't go for it), so until then we're all sleeping in one room, a room with wall to wall beds and a perimeter of toys -- what a joy. Meanwhile, I'm stylin' in my new spinning diggs! How cool is my studio?! I adore it. Go ahead, take the tour. See my futon there for sitting and knitting while I watch the new season of LOST on my computer. Notice the hanging bit on the wall that holds my stitch markers? Notice the red yarn alcove, the carding center, the spinning cubbies, the wool bins, it's all there, in living color.

Tomorrow I'll show you the first yarn I spin in my new room...

The colors are awesome, just as electric as your spirit. I'm just sure that every time you walk in there you are going to be inspired to create something wonderful!

Hey Jacey,

This is a awesome space! I am feelin' the stripes and the whole vibe. I already share our one room with baby boy and have another on the way.....plus my wheel and supplies. Needless to say it is not as scrumptious as your studio.....have fun with your new space.

Any chance there will be some special commemorative yarn sale, perhaps via a raffle, for the first yarn produced in the new studio?

Or... can I pre-order it?

Wow! Way cool room there! Look at all those stripes! I will guess 64 stripes!
