I know I need to stop obsessing about what a negligent blogger I am...but...there it is. This will be the last time though, because I do actually realize that it's getting boring.
But, I have a good excuse this time. I've been a little tied up because Seth and I just bought a house. After jumping through the final flaming hoops last Friday in order to close, the house is now officially ours. We are really really excited.
And now a little back story...About 8 months ago when we found out we'd be losing our amazing art studio at Fort Point in Boston, we decided to move out of the city and into the country. The potential loss of our studio was a huge blow to us...Seth does all of his woodworking and sculpture there, and it's where we do all the screen printing for FDF1. He's been there since he graduated from MassArt in 2003. Just about every year the urban condo giants who bought the building have threatened to kick all the artists out and build their evil condos... and then extended the lease...but this year they were serious. We knew we'd never find another space for the crazy low rent, and couldn't do the type of work we do in our apartment, so the decision was made...after 10 happy fun years of city life, we would move on to greener pastures.
I was a little freaked out at first to leave the city...actually a lot. But 8 months of thinking it over has changed all that, and now that our beautiful house has been found and bought, I feel a lot better. But who wouldn't be cheered at the prospect of moving into an immaculate farmhouse near the beach, built in 1889 with a 2-story barn on a pretty lot with stone walls and a slate patio...sigh...love it.
Our new suburban home on the south shore will also be FDF1 headquarters...specifically the 2nd floor of our new barn!
Here's what it looks like right now:
We've got a bunch of work to do to make it a better place to screen print, but we have lots of ideas! Consider the above shot a 'Before' image...'After' images will be posted in the next few months.
Anyway, that's that for now. We are thrilled to be off on yet another exciting adventure...and promise to blog more!
