WIP-it Wednesday and Tour de Fleece 2026...

 ...and the Murphy bed is being installed in the studio today!

The Murphy bed is the last big piece of furniture to install in the studio. With this installation, I can remove the final boxes from the POD and we can send it on it's way! I'm so ready for the POD to be gone. 

The Husband did a stellar job of getting rid of the big box of melt-and-pour soap supplies. He posted them on Nextdoor and a woman came by yesterday and took them all. Hooray! 

The last things I need for the studio are the folding room divider that will double as my quilt wall, a coffee/tea station with a mini-fridge, and blinds for the slider. The room divider is in my Amazon wish list, as are a couple of options for the coffee station. On my to-do list is a call to the samr company that did the blinds for my kitchen. Getting closer and closer to done!

TdF 2026, Day 4, 7/7

I finished spinning the singles for Gypsy Rose Lee [Ravelry].

I'm going to hold off the plying because I can't work in the studio today. The installers need all the room they can get!
