tierneycreates Beastie here with Part II of the saga of our friend’s studio project (Part I on post Guest Blog Post: The Fayetteville Friend’s Studio Project, Part I).
Here I am in my observation tissue box taking notes for this blog post:
So after a day of unpacking boxes, J’s studio looked like this:
It might not look like it, but we were making great progress! Especially when we got the closet organized and set up for J’s WIPs (works in progress) to be stored out of the way (plus she could see all the projects she has to get done by the end of the year – ha, ha!):
Unpacking all those boxes we made a bit of mess between the boxes themselves (which we broke down) and the wrapping papers.
But we had a curious kitty Oscar who was fascinated with all our unpacking activities, especially the wrapping paper:
Oscar even tried to help us break down some of the boxes:
I’ll admit Oscar was cute, but I am not too sure of my comfort level around Oscar. When I tried to take my dog Mikelet for a walk around J’s backyard, Oscar came a little to close for comfort:
Tierney had to intervene and move Mikelet and me to another area as we weren’t sure if Oscar would think I was a cat toy!
After a long day of unpacking, J who is an accomplished pianist, treated us to an impromptu concert on her beautiful Estonia piano (which Tierney thought also looked beautiful in B&W):
Wow all those symbols on the page look complicated, not sure how J understood them all!
Well more progress to come in Part III of this series of posts…

Teirneycreates Beastie, looks like you had the perfect vantage point for giving tips. Cats do have a way of making every “messy” project more entertaining. They are always on the lookout for that species of invisible mice that only exist in cats’ minds and crafting boxes. It was probably good you didn’t spray any “eau de catnip” perfume on as Oscar may have found you simply irresistible. The snippet of music was a simply lovely way to end your guest post.

Thanks so much Beth for stopping by! The Beastie says thanks for your fun comments 🙂
Eau de Catnip – ha! Yes that would have been a bad idea!
I should have recorded more of her concert but I was just trying to be in the moment and only get a snippet 🙂

Thanks so much from the Beastie and I! I was surprised how much progress we made. The Beastie was not very good at opening boxes (neither was Oscar the cat) but she provided moral support 🙂

Moral support is a very important part of the process! You ladies really did a ton of work 🙂

Glad Tierney rescued you! Cats think anything they encounter is fair game for them.

Before Oscar spread all the paper around, I noticed that we could see the flooring – going well everyone…
I’ve got part 3, ready to read – here’s hoping it’s all “in place” by then….
