Bench Marc







Finally, a few pics from our Crazy Aunt studio renovation. My handsome Marc is restoring a battered old work bench I bought off Gumtree for R50 (with kitten Barley supervising). He's scraped it down, is redoing the work surface and will put castor wheels and maybe a rail or two on it. It's not complete yet, as we spent Sunday painting and putting up the shelves (pics of that tomorrow). This studio renovation is taking a little longer than expected, but I guess that's what happens when Crazy Aunt isn't our 9 to 5. Not yet, anyway.

Day dreaming, 0 to 3 months


Right now, the Crazy Aunt studio is being painted. All stock is packed up, fabrics folded away and what just two days ago was a green room with bright hat boxes boxes piled up and fabrics draped over two desks, is now a glorious not-too-white canvas. This weekend we'll be putting up shelves, giving an old work bench and desk new life and, I hope, unpacking. Such exciting times! Can't believe I forgot to take a "before" pic, but I'll definitely be posting the "afters".
To celebrate the the beginnings of our new studio, here's a daydreamer grower.
