Where women create...

 Step into me parlor...errrr garage...

my downstairs bedroom has been

converted...I just attached this old

screen door to the grooming room,

 to keep the dogs in and my

heathen out...AND it will also

keep the hair from blowing

into the rest of the house...

you have no idea how huge my

dust bunnies are, more like dust yetis!

 Step into my parlor, grooming that is...

Scratchy hates this room, but I love

being able to work out of my home.

35 years of driving into the city

to my grooming shop, working from

7:30 to 6:00 every day M-F

took it's tole on my sanity.

I just downsized the grooming nook

with a precut counter top attached

to an old desk, drawers are perfect

to hold blades, scissors n stuff, keeping

table clear for four wiggly paws.

 I love the crates, easy to clean out,

just throw in the tub and bleach.

Scratchy's condo is the gray one...

 I'm in the middle of organizing

this space, this is the interior

garage where I work when it starts

to freeze outside...you have no

idea what fun stuff comes outta this

space...heh heh...notice

taxidermy supplies on bottom shelf...

this is also where I paint furniture

in the winter...you have no idea how

many pieces have rolled outta

this room. I have a ramp on my

front porch making it uber easy

to load and unload.

This used to be my grooming table,

but now it makes a perfect space

to repair frames, make birdhouses,

body part wind chimes and

"Cracked in the Head" nightlights...

yes, this is the ugly truth, yes it looks a

mess, but I know where all my

supplies are, screws, washers, clamps...

it's all in 'the parlor'...

Doggy Style and The Wild Thing,

the in house sweatshop....

let's not go to the kitchen.

I'll do that next week after I cover

everything with soap molds...

more orders to fill,

sigh...
