Our house is one big WIP (in the last few years we’ve painted, done trimwork, shelves, electric, etc.) and this week my dad came into town to help us frame and sheetrock an unfinished loft over the master bedroom. We worked hard, gained confidence and new skills, new muscles, and a new appreciation for contractors! We have quite a ways yet to go before it realizes it’s potential as a combined creative space for Tad & I (I told him I thought there was plenty of room for a loom, but I don’t think he’s buying it). We accomplished quite a bit, and are exhausted - but ultimately very satisfied, in the way that comes from using your own head and hands to do something useful. And we couldn’t have done it without my dad. Thanks Dad, for your time, expertise & effort - not to mention putting up with some of my pie in the sky ideas of how it all should work!

So, I’m further behind with all of YOUR activities than I was when I started vacation a week ago, I have much reading, eye candy, Ravelry surfing, emails and fiber-related activities to catch up on. Chrysalis II needs casting off, Cinderella needs some assistance from dear Kathryn, there’s been a smidgen of spinning (!!) and there are new designs in the works (some of which I’ll pull you all in on here now that I’ve missed IK’s current submission deadline - somehow finishing sketches and swatches this week just wasn’t in the cards) And, I owe you all many, many thanks for your kind words and support of my P.S. Mitts. Thanks heaps!

Sooo, what’s the biggest WIP (fiber or other) in your life??
