Oh yeah! Attic got an Overhaulin'!

I cannot express in words how awesome it is that I have a neat, organized work space! I really took a longer than usual hiatus from monstahing this winter for a few reasons but the main one was that we moved to the better apartment in the building - Now we're on the Left side of the duplex, instead of the right. I now know the joys of having a bathroom that doesn't induce depressive mood swings - but, more importantly, my workshop is now in my apartment. (Not because I moved it to me, but rather, I moved to it; it's the same attic I have always used just more awesome.)


Now that we have full access and utilization of the attic's space - before I rented only half of it from my friend who lived here before us - we were creative with our storage to allow for the maximization of usable space, and with the challenge of short walls of the pitched ceiling I think we did pretty well for ourselves. Now, there is a separate area for Monstah Portrait Studio - where as before my sewing and monstah photography were performed in the same place and I had to keep retacking the back drop and moving my machine - and my office is in the other room, separated from from the lint and faux fur that blanket all things electronic.


Other awesome additions to the attic are the eye painting station - where painting safety eyes isn't just convenient, its also fun! - and the Monstah Waiting Room - where completed monstahs go before they go to their new home (or one of the two stores monstahs are sold). With all the improvements to my workspace, we have created a environment where my OCD can be free like the wind - everything has a place and everything is in it's place!


I just finished two monstahs, who rule beyond any comprehension! If these guys are any indication of what's coming ahead for monstahkind, then 2010 will be the best year, yet, for monstahs!


Get excited - new Sockmonstahs will be available soon!
