I wanted to share something here today that is somewhat of a sad story, I know that's what you came here to read........but really this is a good story that's why I labeled it Bitter Sweet.
As I sat on my back deck waiting for the smoke to clear and just thanking God for the miracle that it was not worse. As my two little girls were asleep( because the smoke did not hit that part of the house, and the smoke alarm didn't go off) I realized how in a minute life could all be so different all because of a stupid mistake! I thought the curtains looked so pretty not thinking about what could happen.
I wanted to share this here as I now practice safety as much as I can and I own 4 fire extinguishers one in every room, also a fire alarm in my studio. Come to find out 80% of house fires start in the kitchen, hmmm I wonder if the other 20% are in studios?
I have since moved as this was a little while back but thought it important to share as hopefully if you read this it will make you think out safety at the bench and if you don't have a fire extinguisher in your studio you should! I now have a great set up and will share pictures of my studio here soon.
