As the new year rolled in, I was inspired to take charge of my sewing room. I have been multi-tasking my resolutions to get more fit
and organized by rearranging my room as well as adding some new furniture to make life a bit easier.
First order of business? A new cutting table.
It's about time. Sometimes I get the impression that the entire population of folks on the internet is around 5 feet tall and I am some kind of aberrant giant at 5' 9-1/2". Anyway. I was breaking my back cutting fabric and felt on my old table (which had formerly been our dining table, until it was scratched in one of our moves), which is nearly 7" shorter than the new one.
I haven't cut anything on it yet but I can already tell the height will make a world of difference. (P.S. Those sadly empty shelves will be brimming with
felt by early next week!)
Please pardon the grainy camera phone photos, perhaps my regular camera was misplaced in the excitement of furniture moving?
I noticed this when I flipped over the old table after it was disassembled. Apparently we move around a lot (she says, tongue in cheek)? The first time we relocated with a moving company I was religious about taking off all the moving stickers, but apparently I gave up soon thereafter.
Next order of business?
A new shelf, which I adore. Camera: found!
Mmm. Colors.
This shelf is so cleverly designed and so gorgeous that I pretty much want to buy all my furniture now from
Land Of Nod. I am sure to spend hours playing with it, there are just too many possibilities. I feel like a little girl rearranging her dollhouse; in fact the arrangement is already different from the photo. Yes, the migrating dolls on the lower part shelf are a pattern in progress, I plan to have that available for you soon(ish)!
I will show you more of my room as other bits fall into place. Anyone else have sewing room resolutions this year?
Happy Stitching!
