Happy Flood-i-versary

While the inside of the studio is now "active" the outside still needs work. Well, so does the inside but that's for a rainy day.

Jim and I spent the whole morning working on the gable end and when it got too hot (upper 80's in the direct sun on scaffolding) we called it. Here's where we left off yesterday...

Still more to do

There was a birds nest in the overhang that, unfortunately, we had to take down. Maybe the babies will live as they were nearly ready to fly. 

Good news for today: The new long arm is supposed to be delivered. Originally I was told this morning, but later last week was informed it would be in the afternoon. So who knows? I have work to do on the other two machines so when it gets here it gets here. 

Caleb and Lia are the backers on this new machine and together we came up with his new name: Foster. 

I was also supposed to have a customer come and drop off today, but she has decided to mail the quilt/back to me instead and nobody else (save for the long arm delivery guy) expected.

And...four years ago today we officially lost our lake. It actually happened on the evening of the 19th, but it was today we realized the extent of what had just happened and the lake had reached a record low.
