Well Tierney on the road (well in the air) again, this time for a quick business trip to Portland, Oregon for a meeting. So I am going to be the guest blogger on this post.
Do you all miss me? It’s been a long since you heard from me. I was packed away along with Mikelet (I know, I know, you are thinking of reporting Tierney for Beastie-neglect but we should give her a break since she been through a lot this past year…).
Now we have a nice home in Tierney’s new studio:

Oh, but if you are new to this blog, I guess I should first introduce myself:
My name is tierneycreates Beastie and I am a Monster, but the good kind of Monster. You can read my story at I’m A Monster!!!. You can also check out the other posts I’ve had to guest blog on (i.e. when Tierney fell off the blogging-wagon) in the series of posts: Beastie Adventures.
I think the last time I guest blogged, I was complaining about the physical spot (in a box in the closet!) where she had me living in her first studio after moving to the Denver greater metropolitan area.
Here is that post if you want to be shocked and appalled like I was: Another Beastie Blogging Intervention: New Studio Tour, Part III.
I must warn you, Beasties are notorious for making things all about themselves (just check out the blogs Crawcrafts Beasties and Tammie Painter and you will see what I mean!) but I am going to try to focus on the primary subject on this post – an update on Tierney’s post from 10/13/19 – The “Madness” Returns (though a post just about me would be much more interesting!)
So Tierney has finished about 14 little wallets so far. It is not a very impressive number but at least she’s gotten off to some sort of start in replacing her previous stash:

I inspected her work and provided feedback that she needs a lot more color and fabric combinations:
Do like the fact that I could use one of the little wallets as a suitcase?
Of course I only have one other article of clothing – my warm weather shirt. Eventually I need Tierney to place an order at crawcraftsbeasties.com to expand my wardrobe!
Tierney does have other additional color/fabric combinations in progress:
I guess if she wasn’t flying around everywhere all the time she could buckle down and get a larger variety of little wallets done!
She won’t allow me to use the rotary cutter or scissors so I cannot help her. We won’t talk about the time one of her quilting friends loaned me a rotary cutter at a quilt retreat…(Guest Blogger: October Quilt Retreat Part I).

Postscript
As long as I am guest blogging, I might as well also give you a follow up to Tierney’s 08/30/19 post New Studio.
Tierney’s been moving things around and playing with a slightly different layout.
Most importantly, she put me and Mikelet on top of this “pre-cut bookcase” so that we are prominently displayed in her studio (where we can closely watch over her crafting):
She also moved some stuff around after sewing in the room a couple weeks, to make it work better for her.

Tierney loves this colorful display of books and recently found one of the books she was missing from the “Pretty Little” series, Pretty Little Pillows, at a charity yard sale.
Perhaps she’ll do something crazy one day and actually MAKE crafts and quilts from these books on display!
Oh one more thing – remember how Tierney mentioned in her 09/27/19 post A New Way to Organize My Fabric, that she had more fabric to organize?
Well she finally did: she organized her flannels, canvas, novelty prints and panels in the shelves in her studio.
So with the fabric above, plus the pre-cuts, plus the fabric below in this photo, Tierney should give up sleeping and starting crafting/quilting 24/7 (and we will not even mention her collection of fabric scraps at this point).
And I will supervise her!
Well, tierneycreatesBeastie, yes, I have missed seeing you, so I’m glad Tierney let you do this blog post, since she’s off and about AGAIN. You are doing a great job supervising her little wallets and the studio rearrangement. Her fabric displays are to die for, since mine look like I’m using the “stuffed and crammed” philosophy. But she inspires me to do some rearranging and organizing.You look charming in your little sweater.

I am so pleased to read that you and Mikelet have escaped the plastic box and now have a Beastie’s eye view of Tierney’s studio. Thank you for the photographic tour. It looks like the most fabulous place. Pity you are not allowed to use her tools and sew. I know if I was there my fingers would be itching.

Hey Beastie, looks like you’re managing the high altitude very well. Acclimated so much so that your new high perch view of T’s studio doesn’t seem to faze you at all. Yay!

LOVE getting more peaks at your studio and stash rooms. It’s so fun to see how others work and organize their creative spaces.
Beastie’s fall outfit is adorable! And that little doggie. How cute is that?!

Beastie your purse is so cute! Maybe you could get Tierney to sew a handle on one of the wallets for the suitcase and she would stop leaving you home alone! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Thank you! And that’s a great idea about the handle! And you are so right she should stop leaving me home because I could have a suitcase!
