You probably heard that Chicago was buried in 20" of snow and 50 mile an hour wind gusts this week (and right now wind chill is about -10). So while I sat huddled in the house listening to the windows shake and crossing my fingers that my power wouldn't go ...

I don't normally talk about personal stuff here but there is one exciting "kinda work, kinda personal" thing that I wanted to share. Over the summer I installed a shed on my roof deck for storing the extra cushions and garden tools and all the goofy odds and ends that ...

It was an exciting end to the week. I took delivery of some super duper new toys - a major cutting table and my first industrial coverstitch machine (it's for hemming knits). Now the hard work, we have to get them set up!

It's been a busy week. The boxes are clearing out and the sewing machines are in place. More or less functional at this point but definitely tweaking to do. I have so much more space it's a bit hard to get used to. And the structure is basically all concrete ...

Here it is, the new space, in it's vast emptiness. Moving guy's did their thing today without a hitch. Luckily there is no painting or anything like that for me to do so I can jump in and start getting organized. Shouldn't be too bad. I have most things planned ...
