My Room...

Just so....
everyone knows I'm still alive and kickin' -  albeit no stitchin' (or none that I can show you anyway....)
I thought I'd show you my new Sewing/Finishing room! See it's a dilemma that has been solved! We have this odd shaped 4th bedroom and its been mainly a guest room/playroom/catch all room for the past 4 years we've lived here. But this summer after doing some "major" re-doing of the kids rooms (i.e. purchasing bunk beds, desks, chairs, etc - we definitely stimulated the economy!)....My dear husband told me that I should make this room my room. So without further ado...we started moving everything from the basement up two flights of stairs to the third floor. And here we are, welcome to:

My Room:






My work area....
notice the double windows which face the street and primarily where my kids play so I can beat on the windows, shake my fists and make dirty faces at them if they are doing something wrong. Plus, see my best friend in the basket? Mama had to buy him a basket so he'd keep his paws off my work area :) He sleeps in there all day....



Hey....
whatcha working on?


Then....
I've mentioned my flock of friends before and here they are for you to meet, roosting by my windows.


And...
I moved up my thread cabinet (spool chest, whatever you want to call it) up here too...so that all my treasures that are stitching related are in this room.


Here's a new idea....
my furry friends were digging around on my plastic bag of fiber fill. So I purchased a tall kitchen waste basket and the problem was solved, and it looks neat and clean too!




Fiberfill anyone?....


And you all remember my 15 drawer organizer....
it found a new home too, and nicely labeled so that at a glance I can pull the over dyed cotton or silk and find the perfect count fabric.


What's in those baskets on the top? Well let's see.....
Well who would have guessed?!  :)



And in the other....
boy am I behind...four years worth behind too.....


Then this summer I added a 10 drawer organizer in snazzy pink!
I labeled them with all of my FAV designers and each drawer contains all the patterns I own of that particular designer! Little House and Country Cottage Needleworks has their own tub file system since I believe (last fondling of the patterns) that I have all of them ever published....(yes, I am a glutton) And Prairie Schooler and Blackbird Designs are getting pretty close to needing their own tub filing system too.
*note this organizer can be found at Office Depot for around $40*



Hey, what's in the basket on top?...
Well, who would have guessed?!



Oh and I've got more baskets....
All of these are kitted with threads and ready to go....and I have two more PICNIC baskets, but I'm going to stop here. Probably go to confession too, because I believe I've passed gluttony and have gone on to gorging incessantly.....


In fact....
maybe I need to lie down in my room and think about my gluttonous sins for awhile.


Oh look who joined me....
sweet boy of mine....he's a fellow glutton too...although of the Fancy Feast Cat Food kind....I believe he just got done with a can, in fact...



Well....
maybe a little boob tube might ease our collective conscious....



Hey! YoHOO! One of you five other people that live in this house?! Can somebody bring me a Coke? Red and I are resting. . . .

THANK YOU for touring my Room with me  :) That was fun!

Until next time....
I'll see you next time, hopefully with some real stitching to show you. Until then, I'll be "keeping my hands to work and heart to God"!
Hugs and love,

"My Room".....
