A ROOM OF MY OWN...., et al

 

A reader asked to see my sewing space....

here is my machine area--with my design

wall behind...

I love how Helga 

[my Husquevarna machine]

sets into my sewing table;

I have tables on R and L;

the right one is an ironing station,

with my wooly mat and baby dry iron;

and on the left, I usually set up 

any block or project I am working on.

You can see by the dim light

 I could use

a good lamp!!!👀

*******************************

 Below is my cutting table that Tom made for me

from an old door nailed over a set of

drawers that his former school planned

to trash when they did rooms over--

He was lucky enough to grab it and 

I am so happy with its height--just right

for "shortcakes" (his nickname for me!!)

:))))

He also put up that shelving when we moved

in here many years ago now...

the black filing cabinet holds my "paper stuff"

for journal making--I will be switching

over to that craft after the Fabric Journal

prompts end in December...

Right now I cannot access all those

shelved items very well--

that is on my agenda when my back gets better

{What a tip up there!! 👿}.

Here is another shot of where I stand and rotary cut;

I just love my little spinning

rotary mat..

And

That old iron 

was my Grand-mere's. ;)))

 Can you believe that

she had to warm 

up three of them on her black

stove in order to iron...???

We have so many amenities 

that we take for granted,these days,

don't we??

I use her iron to stabilize my ruler 

while I am cutting...

it is super heavy and does the job

really well...

thanks, Grand-mere 👄💘

 ***************************************

Here is a better picture of my Fabric journal

work station...see the messy table???

I have a new lighted magnifier lamp that

enables me to SEE to THREAD

my NEEDLE!!!

{My eyes are olde, folks!!}

👀

My DIL says a mess is sign 

of a creative person....

maybe...????

I use SO MANY "little" things to

make these pages that I have 

also stored a lot

in boxes under this table 

and on the 

FLOOR, too...👀👺😁

**********************************

My ironing station (above), with its lowered

ironing board so I can sit and

iron, as standing for long periods

of time is still an issue for me...

My cart holds ironing needs and

also all my Go! Baby dies on 

the lower shelves.

{ignore that stained, old ironing 

board cover!!  I do-- hahaha}

SO everyone,

that is my little tour--

I hope you enjoyed it...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Uhhhh...??????

Did you

Notice;;;;

??

I didn't include my closet shelves of

fabrics--just too messy to picture--

S  I   G   H  

💣💣💣 

**************************

And finally;;;

Here are some 1.5" scrappy strips 

laid out for my

next "sewing for fun" during

my now 20 minute timed 

sewing sessions...

STAY TUNED ...;)))

*************************

I hope your Friday is going well...

We watched Formula One Practice 

this morning from 9-10 while

we had our coffees; and

then we went for our walks at the

local sports field track....

I was able to walk 4/10ths

of a mile on the track!

YAHOO!!!

😂😎😅🙋

Hugs to all,

thanks for visiting,

👵💝😍💓
