My sitting room has taken on a new name since all my moving things around in the house and closing in the garage with also a new name. The sitting room has taken on the new name of livingroom and the garage has taken on the new name of My Sewing Room!!! My extremely proud accomplishment. The current livingroom has taken on a the new name of sitting room but is not completely finished. Taking one day at a time or one accomplishment at a time I am getting this done the way I want to have them! It really felt good for Christmas for us to celebrate Christmas with the grandbabies in the new livingroom. Carter and Tralyn was able to join in a watch us on Skype as well as I was able to watch them unwrap the gifts that I purchased and mailed to them as they were unwrapping them. I loved being able to see their faces and the surprises as they unwrapped the gifts! Especially when Carter played with his Innotab ~ AKA Kid's iPad!!!
Moet and Ezra was excited to unwrap and unwrap gift after gift. I wish I would have had the camera on them when they unwrapped their Minnie Mouse Scooters. I still have not been able to see either one of them ride their scooter. When times slows down I want to bring them both over here and let them ride all day long on their scooters. Oh but wait! I know the scooters will take a back seat to playing Play-Doh!!! That's always number one on the list when they come here!!! It's always fun when they visit at Me-Me's house!!!!

Sewing Room!
My sewing room has been being filled with all the makings of a woman, a true seamstress's own little "Get Away!" It is now filled with many large rubbermaid containers, drawers and even a 55 gallon drum with large rolls of fabric in the drum. My machines are beginning to take their own place in the room and so has many, many sewing magazines and books. All types of learning and teaching tools, my toys as I refer to them as.
I have been taking my time going through everything I have taken out of the cabinets and drawers. I found some goodies and thankfully found a bunch of stuff I have thrown away or burned. I have been like a kid in a candy store playing with patterns, fabrics, threads, notes, learning and teaching materials, and the list goes on and on. This is the most organized my sewing supplies has ever been! I know exactly where stuff is and I can go straight to whatever I need now WOW! Now that's an accomplishment for me! LOL I still have some other things that have to be cleaned up and added into the sewing room in their own little area, whether it be one of my sewing machines, monogramming or embroidery machines, hand embroidery, smocking threads, smocking plates, counter change, counter change plates, cross stitching, or plastic canvas (this is Phoebe's project supplies). Other things include my fabric areas, lace drawers, applique drawer, reborn baby supplies, the pageant area, wood work paintings, buttons area with probably over 5000 buttons, the drawers with just thread in them, drawers filled with photos to take a trip down memory lane and the list goes on and on!!! This room is 25 years in the making and it is my own little Paradise!
The room has taken yet another stand still with my being sick for 16 weeks, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. The flooring will have to wait a while before I can get it down and ready to be completely finished! Even though the flooring has been put on the back burner for now, I am still loving and proud that I have accomplished this much in this amount of time! With GOD'S Blessing, I will soon be in my room a lot more than what I have been in a long time!
My next project to add in my sewing room is of course, a wall mounted TV and to fix the telephone line so I can get to the phone without running!!!! Continuing with the plans and arranging as time permits!
