40 Years in the Making

I'm so excited about this little room, that I don't care if it's not perfectly decorated yet. I've been officially sewing since I was in the 7th grade. That was A LONG time ago. I have never had my own sewing room. I've sewn on the kitchen table, in the Master Bedroom, in a big closet. All over the place, but never my own room. Finally, here it is! At this point things are just piled up in here. I have a long way to go with the organization. But, just since Sunday, I've already done some mending and started a new project! 
I've got a lot to work with, though.  This was our guest room that I previously posted here.  I have vintage curtains, and pretty rose paintings; four are real, two are Home Goods.  Now I've got to rearrange them around my new needs. I have fun plans for this little floor lamp.  My daughter's IKEA desk works for now, till she needs it back.  
I can get my Serger off the bookshelf soon. The bolster project will be finished this week!

This little guy likes his new digs.  Please ignore the dirty window. Yikes!
I have a lovely view when I'm sewing.

And my wonderful Pandora radio station keeps me company.
So does Buddy. 
Here's a hint of my next project.

  5. Ah! a room of one's own, is just perfect.
    I have a room up in the attics that I keep just for my scrapbooking projects, it's great to be able to leave everything on the table and not have to clear things away before a page is finished.

  6. Back when I was serious about sewing would have given eye teeth for a room where everything could be left out and worked on when the spirit moves. Look forward to the "it's finished" tour. Hey Buddy!
