When Andy & I first married, we lived in a 16’x18′ log cabin in Alaska, with no running water, no electricity, 2 miles from the plowed road in winter.
Our little log cabin home on Dry Creek, near Healy, Alaska.
It was rustic and cozy, and we loved it.
But there wasn’t much room for company, let alone space for my many fiber projects.
Family & friends visited for our wedding in 2001, but stayed in other cabins.
When we moved into our 1840’s home in New Hampshire, our living space increased ten-fold, and I was able to dedicate an ENTIRE ROOM to my fiber pursuits.
Talk about Heaven!

Did you know you can turn old bathroom tiles into dry erase boards?

Having space enough for a home fiber studio is something I’m thankful for every day.
