End of the day toast, (5:00pm) a very long day!

"The creek house"

The side of the shop by the creek

The bluest summer sky, breathtaking!

This is the window where I'll see the deer jump the fence
and attempt eating my new Cherry tree.

A window purchased at a local antique store, One day will be filled with stained glass.

Screwing my door frame in




Yesterday was not only the most beautiful day of the year with it's deep blue skies, clear air and perfect temp, it was the day I've been waiting a long time for, The walls went up in the creek house!

The project started last summer after a contractor friend donated left over wood, I was planning on building shop made from 90% reclaimed materials. It didn't quite happen the way I had planned however, I'm very content. It's not an 8,000 sq foot shop but it's perfect for me and my helper (simes too). The best is yet to come, finish work and finding unique furnishings.

Thanks for sharing this celebration--when walls go up, it's SO exciting!!! Wish I was there to help--I take orders very well and I can bake cookies and go find things people need. This is going to be FANTASTIC, Cindy, and you're wonderful to show us the progress!!!! Happy building!!!!
