studio progress

the office studio corner of the room is set up
The walls are painted. Furniture is moved in. Artwork is hung. Bookshelves filled. Desks set up. 

I am very excited.

three painting my sister did are the centerpiece of the room - i love the color
the little ducky I got for my birthday peaks down from the bookshelf
a basket for sketchbooks, pencils and markers - another basket for painting supplies
bookshelf and my little cow creamer jar
office setup - organized and convenient
another one of Amy's paintings I turned into a key holder <3
It is still very much a work in progress, mudroom shelving to be painted and organized, another storage cabinet for craft and office supplies, moving the cat crate outside (a few more weeks it will be warm enough,) setting up the pot and pan wall. This corner is finished though, and I love it. There are two desks, one with the computer and office stuff, and another with art supplies. Everything I need is handy, and organized. I love the way the bookshelf looks in this big room. I feel inspired and excited to be in this space. I expect a lot of painting, drawing, exercising, yoga, blog work, and much much more in this room. Plus, since the rooms are connected, it means the kitchen, hallway (gallery) and laundry room (still to be painted) all got freshened up as well. The gallery:
 



 The house is so warm and inviting to walk into now. 
More to come, as I get things finished.

Until next time,

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a new project

I stumbled upon a website last week about low impact woodland homes, essentially: hobbit houses. Dug into a hillside and covered with earth to create an efficient and beautiful house. They are made with roundwood framing, using oak trees left whole as the timbers. Straw bales are used for insulation in the walls and under the floor. They used a natural lime plaster on the walls, recycled materials for everything possible, thrifted doors and windows. All together this husband/father and his father in law built a house for under $4000 in about four months.  I have been blown away by the ideas and resources available on the subject. We have spent hours already discussing the outbuildings we will need in the future, such as barns, root cellars, storage sheds, animal shelters, and well we could definitely use a few cabins around. If we can utilize the materials around us in this way, it's possible for us to create an incredible farm, beautiful, efficient, and sustainable....
