On the very starting of 2023, I challenged my sculpting group to give you a big-ticket merchandise on their to-do record and simply conquer it, immediately within the new yr. This big-ticket merchandise doesn’t need to be price associated, however it does need to be huge when it comes to time spent or given to one thing. So … my big-ticket merchandise? I wanted a brand new Kater’s Acres studio and quick. My present studio and workplace set-up wasn’t suiting my wants anymore. Not solely had I outgrown the area, however most significantly, it wasn’t bringing me any pleasure. So after talking with my husband, we determined that on Jan. 1st, 2023 we might deal with this big-ticket merchandise.
This new yr goes to convey many modifications for Kater’s Acres. The primary change was introduced on the finish of final yr with the closure of my instruments/provides right here on the positioning. I do know a few of you discovered this a shock. But it surely wasn’t a shock to me or my husband. We’re a busy couple, however there are solely so many hours within the day. Promoting retail instruments/provides meant that it took away from what my coronary heart needed to do.
There are a variety of modifications on the horizon for Kater’s Acres over the subsequent a number of years and whereas I’m not able to reveal all of them to you simply but, you will notice them over time. I hope and pray that you’ll be part of me in these modifications. For now, the primary and most essential factor is that I can get again to my sculpting desk and produce you alongside for the journey. I’m so excited to get again to this! And I’m excited to take you alongside on the journey with me.
The Rework
Right here’s my new and improved studio. We did a lot in right here: crammed cracks within the plaster, primed the partitions (twice), painted the room with new paint in Behr Swirling Water, ran new electrics, rearranged furnishings, obtained a brand new rug, new shelving for the partitions, redecorated, and new (handmade) valances with this material from Spoonflower are on their approach shortly. Luke (my husband) and I allowed ourselves per week and we labored lengthy and arduous hours to get every little thing accomplished in simply 3 days. Yep! Take a look at the behind-the-scenes photographs I posted on Instagram.
Now Kater’s Acres is a gorgeous, serene, peaceable, and glad place to be, and it’s crammed with pleasure … identical to my coronary heart. I hope you’ll be part of me nearly to see the studio with your personal eyes someday quickly.
