선 &her Studio

we finally did the final rearrange
*weeps*
this Studio, my studio, has turned out even better than i'd imagined
&it is the greatest studio space i have ever had
so naturally
we had more hurdles to hurdle
emotionally speaking
*ugh*
it
literally
never ends
but then
i realized that
that's what we want
right?
for it
life
to not-end
&so
a little perspective shift goes a long way

this is exactly what this tabletop
&this studio in general
looks like
i have not cleaned up or made it "photo ready," etc.
*barf*
well
i guess i lied a little
cause i put a shirt on for those mirror selfies
lol
but the socks
i already had them on
^..^

i have not done a lick of sewing yet
in this space
&i'm just sitting in it
cause it's all a struggle
the bad
obviously
but also the good?
what the fuck.
on an unrelated note
the Time Tide is crawling i tell ya
painstakingly crawling
why?
it was flying by so fast
&now
it's not.
why, Ladybug, why?!?

ive gotta friend here waiting for her fourth grandbaby
so i thought that i'd christen my (the bodybuddy/lifemate&my, our) studio
by making the first few pieces of cloth for her grandbaby
*weeps*
i am making twenty pieces
(outlined above)
out of  4 yds x 2.5 yds of cotton muslin
cause in that book Debt by David Graeber
he writes about the way that various human cultures
partake in gift giving traditions
&one of the traditions that is mentioned
is the giving of twenty pieces of cloth when a baby is born
*heart-eyes*
the father must go out and collect twenty pieces of cloth
&present it to the woman who birthed his child
&the tradition hailed from a culture that made cloth
&exported its cloth
(this all might need to be in the present tense
cause imnota great reader)
&i thought that it's also a very fitting type of gift for me to give
as well
as a person who works with textiles
