The table of requirement

This is a 36 inch diameter marriage. A clawfoot base under a tabletop. Same maple wood or white oak and very heavy. It is solid wood and on wheels for now. Going to be my studio dining table.

 

Studio furniture

I needed some chairs for my studio. I was shown these 2 vinyl and maple wood vintage chairs in need of restoration in storage someone had for sale . I love the yellow and orange vinyl. They are very solid need some cleaning and TLC but are usable. 

These are 2 of 4 but the other pair was out of my abilities in woodworking to save.

I will update their restoration soon. The owner may salvage the other two.

 

Fall fabric leaves

I got some time to work on my sewing machine. I found a box of scraps of batiks and wanted to use them up. I ironed them onto stabilizer then free motioned the fabrics down. Then cut out the shapes and added thread stitching to the leaves for more realism. These are for a fall decoration idea I am working on.
 

Studio Stirrings

I have always wanted my own studio. Not a basement room, not a closet or outbuilding but a full blown studio to call my own. After 30+ years I now have one 10 minutes from our farm. It is a house newer than our farm and in town! It was a good price on -1 acre with a cell tower in the backyard. And it is surrounded by hay fields and cattle.

I am slowly getting this fabric restoration room with 2 huge closets up and running.

This will be used as leather crafting and embroidery work. Also for sewing students.

This is one of over 6 sewing machines I will set up in my sewing room/pumpkins. Yes, I love orange and pumpkins. I have my restored vintage ironing boards and my sewing machines. It has one small closet for my antique sewing restoration supplies. There is room here for students to sew as well. Lighting is an issue I will solve with led lamps. The windows are nice as well. I love velvet curtains. I can't have them with pets at the farm. But in my studio I have velvet where I can. 

I have always used old furniture to save money. Now I can decorate as I need mixing modern functional with the antiques I want. And I have a large garage and front living room next. The garage will become my furniture restoration/ tool workroom. The living room may become a showroom to display my works. It is going to take time to move all my stuff. This is a new chapter I am looking forward to.
