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.

Oooh, a new shed and cabin blog...and PROGRESS at MY shed...


Look what I found!  Yummy...http://thecoopercabin.blogspot.com/2012/10/san-juan-island-cabin-by-david.html

Actually, I'm just bookmarking the whole blog, it's delicious!  http://thecoopercabin.blogspot.com/


Meanwhile, I'm still writing and illustrating art classes and shooting videos at my beloved shed...and thanks to my friend Marc Taro Holmes of Citizen Sketcher (DO check out his blog if you like sketching and watercolor!).  He suggested this multi-arm that will suspend the camera over the table out of my way (HOORAY) so I can shoot better and more comfortable videos!  No more reaching around the tripod.

Now all I have to do is solve the lighting problem...next up!

You can see the seedlings I started in that sunny window at lower left, too...a multi-purpose shed.


The new mini-class is finished  and up on my website, on Ink & Watercolor...and life continues busy but grand!

And a new link from Uncle Wilco!

http://readersheds.co.uk/

Uncle Wilco has the Just Sheds group of Flickr, which I've loved for ages (link in our list at left)...lots of inspiration there, too.  On our last post he commented that we should check the above link, which we did.

THANKS, Uncle Wilco, adding to our list of links right now.  I love the cute little cabin/summerhouse at the Naval Museum on that first page...

They do truly appreciate sheds in the UK...

Garden shed inspirations...

Two of my favorite you-can-do-it inspirations; Lester Walker's Tiny (Tiny) Houses is the oldest. I've owned this top one for 30 years, I think. It was largely what inspired my cabin in the woods...the architect's cabin was just SO right.


Here's how my own version, a bit larger and with more windows--all recycled!--turned out...it's 20 years old, and unfortunately popular with the neighborhood vandals, out in the country.

Sunset's Ideas for Great Backyard Cottages is a much newer inspiration. I found this book at Lowe's a couple of years ago...very nifty, too. You can see both of them in the sidebar at right...
