The Studio

OK, so the first step in the new sewing room is complete and here are some pics. This is actually our garage, we put a wall up and used it as the Lego Room for years; the outside garage door still works and when opened it reveals a small storage area along the front.

The room sits off the entry way and kitchen, here is the view back toward the house. Please notice the ironing station on top of the 13-year old washer and dryer.
Under the table you'll see I keep all my fabric in trash bags, it's how it works for me! Here's the view of the sewing table. My My mom's machine sits at one end and my mom's rotary cutter at the other. The table is the old dining table of a high school friend of ours, his mom gave it to us early on in our marriage. The table against the wall is made of two large speakers Steve won't let me get rid of with one panel of a bi-fold door laid on top. I keep my thread, scissors and other stuff I need while sewing on this table.

Here's the view from the washer & dryer. Those are our hurricane shutters and the Lego table against the wall; we don't have a storage shed so for now this is where they live. Also the large striped blob is a little sofa I have for visitors or for me to sit and read a pattern or sewing book on!

Lastly, this is the view form where I sit. You'll notice another sewing machine in the back right, it's just missing the foot pedal. I hope to get it up and running for the days when "extries" come over to sew!

That's it, step one down and it has a long way to go; more lighting and some color onthe walls, a design board and who knows what else!

Well, I'm off to get ready for a sewing day with friends today, we gotta put this space to use!

Stitch it up!

Larger Sewing Room Coming Soon!

We are in the middle of a room switch.
Legoland as we know it is being broken down into large rubbermaid boxes.
Sad, I know; but....
the lego room is becoming our office/sewing room and the office is becoming the den,
the dinning room is going back to being the homeschool area.
Can't wait!!

Hodge Podge

Here's a vintage lamp I got from my mom. This picture isn't the greatest; what I like about the lamp is it's shade. It has a ballerina dress feel .



My niece and nephew are visiting from New Hampshire. I watched them for a little bit this afternoon. They are so good.

He's such a good boy, not one fuss!


My neice is so smart and a joy to be around!

I also got these new redwork transfers from Wal-mart for $1, although at this site they cost $1.50. I can't wait to try them out!



My new room is getting organized and turning more girly. I've covered the couch with 2 chenille bedspreads and a quilt with pink and other "girl" colors. Another chenille bedspread hangs over the back window, I'm also working on getting the shelves organized.

Loving my new craftsy room!
