A new path for me

A lot of you know that I own a retail shop. Well as of the end of this month I am closing the storefront location and opening a smaller studio space closer to my home. It was not an easy decision but it needed to be made for a lot of reasons, and so I decided that with the end of my lease that I would move to a studio location. I am having a studio built and I am hoping that it will be ready for me to move in in the next couple of weeks. It is a 16' x 20' building with a second story office.

This is the exterior picture that the builder has supplied. And here is a few shots of the interior but the stairs will be mirrored so that the door is not at the end of the stairs.

Here is a picture of the loft area that I plan to use as my office.

I will still be selling yarn and other knitting supplies, and I will be adding fiber arts items such as fabric and kits for handbags, mini quilts, needlework and cross-stich and embroidery.

I will also be adding back a few of the classes that I did not have at the shop such as Ceramics and slab-formed Pottery (I have a kiln in my garage that I will move to the studio).

I would like to say thinks to my new secret pal. I will post pictures of the beautiful yarn as soon as I can fined the camera cable.
