sewing room pics

I have kind of been in the doldrums lately and decided to organize the
sewing room. A week of disaster later
it still isn't great but better. I folded fabric for days and days. I
found things I didn't remember I had and have
found old projects that long to be finished. The result is that I have too
many project unfinished. Too much fabric
and my room is too small. I really love this room and space anyway. Go
figure. I have a big stack of 56 gallon
plastic tubs that will go in the garage or a storage shed out back that will
help a lot. For many years I had only
a corner in one room or another but this little secondary bedroom is a happy
place for me. I'd like a long table
for one machine and a serger in front of the window. I built the shelves
for that so one day maybe that will be
a fun addition. In the meanwhile the $10 thrift store cabinet is pretty
wonderful. Hopefully I'll get in there to
sew soon!

What I wouldn't do for a room of my own. I share a spare bedroom with
another person, three tables and a bookshelf. I have a desk for my machine,
two shelves in the closet, plastic shoe boxes under my computer desk along
with a six-drawer stack next to this table. Cutting happens elsewhere and
the ironing board is attached to the door.

I love all your fabric stacked in the closet. I nearly fainted from envy.

Looking good, Taria.
Hope you soon get the chance to get in and enjoy the space. The extra
'stuff' you have will resolve in time. Hope it makes you feel
good/better to have achieved the sorting.

Good, GOOD for you, Taria. My bins look like they've been tossed in a rock
polishing drum. I need desperately to restore order. The Simple Stars
quilt followed by the Peepers quilt both called for a piece of everything
here and pandemonium was the result. You've inspired me.
Not a whole lot but some.

If it makes you happy that's what matters. I really like your room.

Well done, Taria - it looks so nice and organized now. I particularly
drooled over your fabric stash. I need to get my fabric out in the
open like that because I always forget what it is I have!!

You're in the right zone by making your room 'bigger' by removing
stuff. Maybe you can put th tubs not so far away so they're easier to
get to? Still, having more space does help with the creative energy
so hopefully you'll get in there to sew and move those projects out.
It's a lovely room that becons!

Howdy!
Well, howdy-do! That's looking mighty tasty, Taria.
Over there in that corner, down a little, ...next shelf..
yeah, that's it! Let's have a look at what you go there... mmm-hmm,
that would do just fine. ... Oh, you did mean to share some of that,
right? Isn't that why you're showing us the good stuff? Pick & choose?

A month ago, younger son helped set up metal racks in the green room; I
got stuff out of piles, off the floor, and kinda-sorta organized just a bit,
so I can find things without hop-scotching across the room... or falling
flat on my face stretching so far. The big tubs are still in the big
closet, the extras are on the shelves, and the rest is in the dining room
being transformed (into quilts, of course... or curtains... or art g).
A little rearranging is always good to remind us "what's here" and
"Oh, yeah, I forgot I had this!" ...still no UFOs...

Looks great Taria!
I also found way too many UFOs and stuff I forgot I had when I started
reorganizing so I feel your pain. lol
Hope you enjoy your new space!

Put a paaste of 'Meat Tenderizer' mixed with plain water. Keep it on for no
longer than 20 min at a time. Should take the 'ouch' and most of the
swelling out. It works a treat on Hornets and Mosquito bites on me. I swell
something awful from them and the Tenderizer usually gets it quite calmed
down within the 20 min.
