Well the summer is rolling by, still waiting for easy living….(cue the Janis Joplin) The studio has been a major component of my families summer but we’ve also found time to harvest bounty from the garden-(our tomato plants have a horrible blight this year, but we are getting some intact fruits..):

We've taken plenty of trips to the creek-sometimes with friends:

and of course toasted plenty of marshmallows:

 When I last posted about the studio we had got the roof metal on. Just a few more thoughts on the roof. When our friend Fred came out, he caught wind of my desire to have the rafter tails be cut in a curve. Inspired by Scandinavian architectural details, I planned to have the rafter tails and door and window trim have a few flourishes. In reality, on the day we were installing the rafters, I set this idea aside because I just wanted to get them up there, not fiddle around with a jig saw. It pays to have friends who are talented with tools and wood-while Fred was out he climbed a ladder and cut all the rafter tails just how I wanted them:

 

 Pretty nice, huh? Also, here is the new interior view looking up from my work table space:

I love the tomato rainbow. We are reveling in tomato sandwiches again this year. The squirrels have had such a feast on our tomatoes and leave only half-eaten ones for us, so we have to rely on local squirrel-less farmers to help us out with our tomato shortage. Beautiful studio! Ah, maybe someday for me. This week my kitchen has been my dye studio....dyeing for the Waldorf school of Louisville. I hope to post pictures soon of all the yarn.

Your studio is looking great! How exciting! :) Glad to see you are getting some tomatoes! How frustrating about the blight. My poor tomatoes are having some problems too. So sad.
