Dans le Studio/In The Habitat

Welllllllllll!!!  I’ve had a few notes recently from a handful of ladies asking me to do a short video of myself working in the studio.  Today I set the Flip down on Fat Baby (my press), put on some Dierks Bentley and recorded myself working for the length of the song.  It’s totally weird — at least it is to me.  I don’t know how I put anything together correctly when I’m bopping around like this…and at one point RW walks in, squeezes my bottom and smooches me (or did I smooch him….???) (we’re kind of like a crazy pair of teenagers).  Either way, you get a good look at 4 minutes of my day while I was in the studio this afternoon!

PS  Have I told you lately how much I love the mandolin.  And the banjo.  And…and…and…Dierks?


PSS  I was making this:

  9. how adorable you two are!!! Hope you are doing well the new designs are as always fantastic

  10. marie bell says

    well, yes: love mandolin and banjo and all that sweet folksy stuff.
    [it must have been wax'd into my blood upon my birth….]

    love the "love" scene.
    ain't nothin' more tender than a man pattin' his woman's butt.
    [we know. yes. we do.]

  11. Lizzy Derksen says

    You two are the acme.

  12. indigorhino says

  13. yip-yip!

    Now that's what I call an artisans workbench, if i say so myself!

    (love the *blush* – hehe)

  14. Drat, no golden ticket. But then again we all DO have the golden ticket, in a way, because we can peek in on the marvelous machinations of the Plume Gables Factory whenever we pop over to your blog. What will be in the works today? Jam, silver, stories, photos? You, dear Plume, are an Everlasting Gobstopper. Please do consider another Golden Ticket contest (accompanied by a charming guest post!) in the future. Thanks for bringing this, and so many things, to life, to light. X's and O's and tictactoes.

  15. Heather Fawn says

    Flippin' love this! Love the song, love watching you make your magic, and love the magic between you and your honey♥ Awesome!

  16. Anna-Karin Hallström says

    And don't forget… once you've finished the piece you were soldering there… you must tell us it was the vidoe-piece piece!! You MUST!

    Love your studio. Makes me wonder how I can create anything in my dungeon. And it is a dungeon, despite the fact that it's situated on the top-floor. All very confusing reallay.

    And yes – you two are adorable. 🙂

  17. The Noisy Plume: says

    HA HA!!!!! These comments make me laugh!

    Rhino: It's actually Dierks singing the U2 song, Pride. It's on his "Up on the Ridge" album — the entire album is really great, get the whole thing.

    xxxxxxx

  18. okay. this comment is going to be unintelligent and it's not going to impress anyone, but i don't care.

  34. Love the glimpse into your studio, and love the song!

  35. Oh J-dillydo, that made me so happy. Like really warm squishy happy.

  36. I love the dancing around the studio moment, I often find myself boppin' along to my tunes while plugging away in mine as well! Thanks for sharing with us Jillian, and can I just say that the length of your table/bench is quite satisfying!!!!

    jeeze, 32 comments and you're not even doing a giveaway. bow. bow.

    SOOOO.
    That was the most deelightful thing I've seen all day. Why? I have no idea other than it was truly like being a fly on the wall. You were decidedly more boppy after that ass-grab. LOVE. LOVE. DOUBLE LOVEY DOVEY.

    P.s. Just opened the package you sent. Thank YOU EVER SO MUCH my generous jilly.

  38. you.
    are.
    amazing.

    thanks for letting us in for a peek.

  39. Candace mentioned "fly on the wall"…HA!!! That'd be more than a few flies! What a treat this virtual visit was. Loved the soundtrack and RW's touching base and the bopping, all of which are essential elements of the creative process.
