Two clear sentences continued to be set before
us this past couple of months...
First...
One of the most notable quotes history...
"If you build it, they will come..."
from the movie
Field of Dreams.
And then...
Believe it or not, this one from
the bottom of the shop door.
"This door is to remain unlocked when this space is occupied"
We will talk about both and
I will try not to lose you.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Everything you see from here on down...
WAS BUILT BY HAND
and I wish I could take credit for it all,
but I can not.
My husband jumped in with everything he had
on this one and even as my list kept growing,
he kept working.
For example:
I needed shelves.
He Built Them.
I needed a little sink area with a table leaf on the
side of it so I could have a coffee / snack table.
He Built It.
(disclaimer: this one is not finished but
only needs the sink and faucets now...I will
update it later)
I needed the shelf he built me at home
for my online shop
painted and altered a bit.
He Built It Out.
I saw a cutting table on Pinterest months
ago that I had pinned from
and I showed it to Bill.
I bought the shelving units from IKEA and
put them together, but...
He Built that top.
To tell the truth...everything in this space
he fixed, replaced, cleaned or re-tiled
BEFORE
He BUILT everything else.
(including putting together my Handi Quilter Avante')
All that hard work led up to this....
These shelves with beautiful fabrics...
A place secured so I could display my favorite
virtual rabbits from
It led up to a perfect Studio feel...
An even better classroom, all bright
and cheery...
A cutting center to make me never want to
cut anything anywhere else...EVER.
more displays of many, many colors...
Finally, it all led to this door.
My entire life, I've walked in and out of doors
because I was either told to
or I knew I had no other way out.
I spent a lot of time
looking in from the outside.
This time, the door opened.
I walked in.
I heard it silently drift closed behind me
and I thought...
"This door is to remain unlocked when this space is occupied"
The important doors in my life will remain unlocked
as long as the space in my heart is occupied
with faith.
Thank you Bill
for all the hard work, late nights, and hugs.
It Seams To Be Sew...
