Welcome to this week's short list of likes... starting with our prompt, what do you like about your studio or whatever you call the place you create art. Do you wish it was different or want to change it?
When we moved in this nice house, I thought, but the studio rooms are so leetle !!!
and they are, the one on the left is 12X12' (might be smaller as I used my feet to decide) and the one on the right, or Studio One is about 11' X 13" but also has a walk in closet. I quickly decided this would work for me!

made Peeps in the studio last week!

I use Studio one to actually work, and Studio 2 (Milo's perch) is for supplies like fabrics UFO's and extras. Studio one's closet holds my scrap bins all threads, beads, fabric paints, and stabilizers. It's my happy place! The place that holds my what ifs. I might like it slightly larger but think that wall between the rooms allows me to add more storage , and as crafters know, we like our stuff. I'd like to figure out the lighting, as there is one window in each room so light is skewed. Plus it's so bright here I have to keep the blinds closed most of the time.
what do I like about this space? First of all it's mine. It's got happy colors, quilts and paintings on the walls and shelves, it's got a cute old timey clock which I mostly ignore, it has a cutting table that's high, it has a sewing table holding my beloved Bernina 1630, it has a design wall I made with poster board and felt, and I can go to all areas with only about 3 steps!
Fine Dining
French toast made with egg whites, milk or cream, vanilla and a spoon of brown sugar, dip stale bread in and saute in butter. Real maple syrup tops it. So good we all love it!
Cabbage soup on cold days! This is the start of it, and I tried a new to me recipe sent by my good friend Diane (a fellow poodle person) I am not including the recipe as we didn't love it. I grew up with cabbage soup but this is not good despite having all good ingredients. I don't know what happens... but we'll eat it. We've been eating it at lunch each day.
Reading
On audio.... Ellery Adams has combined two series in this one! Both mysteries, this one set in VA.
and how exciting the next issue of Her Royal Spyness is in my ebook reader! Had to put the one I've been reading but own, on hold to rush to read this before the library snatches it back
watching on TV
Well, Survivor is back, yea!! I also like "A million little things", "the good doctor", all the housewives of Bravo, am suffering through the train wreck of a Bachelor this season (where do they find these guys? ) we finished last season of The Crown, (sadly) and are watching The Way Home on Hallmark, so good. Luckily I have some taped shows to see, like "who do you think you are" and "Miss Scarlet and the Duke" as All Creatures is done for the year. wah
Milo's moment
Milo: sorry about the butt shot. Mama tried to get me up but I have a badly injured foot and need my rest. What happened you ask? Daddy nearly cut my toe off when he tried to trim my nails and it's still very bad.
Mama put a bandage on it, and since it's so muddy outside I have to wear that dang boot over the bandage.
Mama: and the fact that you worry the wound if it's uncovered, and it reopens if it gets bumped
Milo: HEY! This is my turn! you had your turn, so I have a little more whining to do here! I want to play and go for long walks, and am not allowed. So I might as well sleep, see you all next time.
now sit, stay, go see what Mama's friends have to say!
