At long last, after trying to get workers to actually show up and do the work, the Fashion Beading studio is finally getting framed! We had the concrete pad poured last June after months of labor delays, and then everything stopped again. Many contractors later, we're finally moving forward again! If all goes to plan, we'll have a dried in box sometime next week!
This morning, I ordered the ceiling fan we want in the space (it's ridiculously hard to find anything that takes a regular light bulb these days!). This has been in limbo so long that all the doors, windows, and suntubes have been sitting inside Janet's house (where the studio will be located) since last summer - and it's a good thing, because so many supplies are a 5-6 month wait now!
Tomorrow, Janet and I plan to go shopping for some of the fixtures the builders will need to finish, and I'll be able to see what's been built with my own eyes. I'll try to remember to video some of our adventures to share with all of you!

I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
More on the Michael's purchase of JoAnn. "Ever-expanding" plus it went on to say they will be carrying sewing machines, notions, and thread in stores. And there was a 50% off one item coupon - let me know if any of you need that.
I'm kind of surprised I have to sign up for emails (not sure if I want to yet) considering how many companies sell email lists.
I finally finished the patchwork jeans! @SewBrooke , the elastic in the waistband suggestion worked brilliantly. I ended up taking it as close to the button/buttonholes as I could, because the waistband I originally picked had the buttons on the wrong side and I had to piece it together/the second waistband was also collapsed in from wear. I really don’t know why, I checked against all of my jeans and I did put the fly on the correct side! Anyway, it’s done, and I’ll be happy to come up with a project that takes much less time. After I clean up the leftover bits— it looks like I used 7 pairs of jeans/shorts, so I have a lot of tops and leftover leg/waistband scraps!
