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.

It HAS been a while!

So, more of a photo essay, for now!  The shed continues to be be loved and used, though it's anything but the simple Zen teahouse I originally envisioned.  Knowing me, that was a strange idea indeed!  I love rocks and bones and interesting pieces of wood, plants, artifacts, crafts and their necessary tools, books, art supplies, cats and more....

Belle still hangs out at the shed--it's her home base, for sure, and she sleeps there at night.

The ivy seems to want to come in for the winter...

Belle loves her pets...

Afternoon light...

The shed's settled in to its surroundings

Falling leaves...

And gorgeous color...

April at the Shed...

Sunset through the back window...

My herb tea mixture...

Old, old yellow tulips planted before my time...

We made a new seating area around the seldom-used firepit...I suspect it will see a lot more use now.

Happy!

Looks like it's in the midst of a forest rather than between two houses...
LOTS of violets...

Yep, still winter...drat that groundhog anyway...


This was the view yesterday...some of the snow has fallen off the branches now, and rain has fallen on top of that, so it's a big crusty...



Over the fence and the top of my canoe...the snow isn't really THAT deep!



She looks like she's saying "come ON, let's get IN there." But this is Belle the Biter, who cost me a doctor visit, tetanus shot, and some anxiety this fall, so...nope.

So far the electric heaters and wool rug are up to the challenge, once I get warmed up a bit...having that sound side floating like that may have to be dealt with.  Too much air under there!


And the shed got a prezzie, from my good friend the artist Molly Morgan-Roberts!  I've had the stained glass cardinal for years, but Molly made the wonderfully wacky vintage fork wrapped in spirals and beads...I threatened to make omelets with it. 

Really unique ones...

J. discouraged me, since he's the usual dishwasher...
