Adventures in renovations... again

[sKePTiKal]

I've got one project to work on over the winter - my downstairs entry. Repurposing, painting a storage bench I already have, have a board of hooks and two shelves to put up. Beadboard to lighten the space as opposed to the horizontal heavy pine everywhere in the house. Shoe racks.

Hol & I will tackle that, so B doesn't feel under pressure to make it "just so".

Amber, reading your list of projects brings me comfort, and calm.....it feels like you're creating sacred spaces. Transformation.....of most kinds.....tickles my attention deficit brain.

Right now, I'm pausing.....looking around....noticing what's really here.  What will matter in 5, 10....15 years.  25 years.  Checking myself.... my priorities.....taking the temperature of my girls....the bf....making list, or.....poising to make lists.....the bf and youngest DD are asking for a list.

It feels like I'm leaning over a cliff's edge.....
but balanced. 
Not teetering, or endangered, or whipped and blinded by the wind....
but leaning into it....
over....above, what's below...with multiple possibilities.
A leap? 
Flight? 
Swan dive?
I don't know, but there's choice and choices....
 restored.
HUGE.

Maybe everything.
Small.
Large.
Expansive.
I get to choose, this time.

This fall has been VERY busy with projects & med appts keeping us up and moving most of the weeks. The year before that was the studio remodel (we're not completely done; but very close - just little stuff). I want to be lazy & dreamy -- and explore other things -- this winter.

Hol is rebuilding her work space, this time in the loft in her garage. In her words: making it a space she WANTS to be and work in. And it's separate from the house, so it's breaks up her day, feels like "going to work". Like my studio.

I love my free, unstructured time.  <big grin>
