Catching Up!

Hi all -- where did the summer go?  How did I only manage a couple of posts in the past three months?  The summer was a bit HOT, and a bit DRY, and a bit CRAZY.  One of the best things we did was attend a national family reunion in Albuquerque.  It was fun to catch up with relatives and I discovered one of my 'cousins' follows my blog!  Hi Betsy!  We also took our oldest two grandson's along with us.  Here is a shot of them playing on a mountain top...Sandia Peak...they loved it!


My sewing room is almost done...except for six pieces of wood that have to be ordered and restained to match the rest on the windowed doors.  How do home improvement projects always seem to get so complicated?  At any rate, this past week I moved my 'stuff' back in to the sewing room and reclaimed our bedroom as a place to sleep and not a place to just fall over things.


Here are some shots of my sewing room.  I am so lucky to have a dedicated place to sew with plenty of light and a view.  That being said, it is hard to arrange things when all four walls have big doors.  I am trying a different arrangement right now than I had before.  But I have my doubts that this is the final scheme.

 
 

Here is hoping I will be back sewing in no time.  I have a couple of works in progress I'd like to finish up plus I acquired a 'few' stash pieces over the summer.  Glad to be back!!!

A lovely room, made for you, and yes, rearranging might be done, as we all seem to want to change layouts once they have been used, and find another way that might be better.Your cutting and sewing tables look great. Happy sewing, quilting, or maybe just sitting and dreaming,enjoy it all. Cheers from Jean.

That's a stunning view from your family reunion pic.
Love seeing your sewing room come together. Great to see all the light coming in. I think it always takes a while to arrange a workplace the way you want it. You have to sew in it first to see what works best. Good luck and enjoy your lovely space!

Hi there! What a gorgeous space and your furniture pieces are beautiful. I would never leave a room with such a view and natural light.

I love your new sewing room. All the beautiful furniture, windows and natural light! Awesome!

Your sewing room has so much wonderful natural light! I can see it would be a challenge for the furniture arrangement though. It seems like remodeling always takes longer than it should. The furniture is beautiful. I'm guessing it might be made by Amish craftsmen.

It's a beautiful room, but an arranging challenge, as you said. Have fun creating in there!
