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!
