In case you were wondering...

This blog exists to encourage all those who have ever wanted--and needed!--a tiny getaway close to home. A workshop, playhouse, garden shed, sanctuary, mini-greenhouse, studio, home office; whatever it is you need, it IS doable, with some sacrifice, imagination, and compromise.

It helps if you're handy, too.

And here are the rest of the new changes...

At last, a river pebble path that doesn't need to be raked back in place every time it rains, like the bark path...I love it, the kitties don't.  (Gives pussyfooting a whole new meaning...)  It feels delightfully Zen-garden, to me...

And yes, at long last...

...you guessed it...

Window screens!  I can have the windows open in mosquito and fly season!  Notice the clever swiveling wooden prop...it's attached at the bottom... 

My knight did a fantastic job...

I used one of my terra cotta triskeles to hold the big screen in place, like a toggle...the small one is so tight friction alone holds it!

This one has a brass hinge to hold the window open...

And a delightful new addition to the shed's art gallery, a lamb by the oh-so-talented Wil Freeborn--thanks, Wil!  Check out his Etsy store, here: https://www.etsy.com/people/wilfreeborn and don't miss his wonderful new book!
The screens are absolutely perfect timing, this gloriously cool, delightful summer!  Loving the fresh air...

    1. YES. I'm delighted! Though I have to admit that Belle must have felt trapped in there the other day and pulled the screen off to make her escape--I hope she's forgotten that little trick.
