Project update - my sewing room and wall hanging




I decided to rearrange my sewing room and it feels so much more spacious. I now have decent floor space for laying projects out. The table in front of the window can fold up and be stored in the basement when I don't need to use it but I have a feeling it may stay. It was a gift from a friend who was moving. Lucy likes to sit under there and look out of the window.
I still have to finish putting peg boards and projects up on the walls and I plan on making a felt hanging wall for the long bookcase to use when I want to look at my blocks in progress.
The bed is still in the room and John and the kids like to lie on it and chat if I am working away on a project :)
With our corner unit now back in the corner I can sew away without Lucy lying across my feet and the sewing machine pedal, as she was prone to do. She is happy to sprawl across the floor :)
I was going to show you progress pictures of the wall hanging I am working on for I am a Stitchers Angel but all of a sudden blogger uploading went screwy on me and none of them would go right way up. Aaaaaaaaaargh. Maybe next week. The background is finished and I have decided to makes the leaves, bird wing and some mini poppies 3 dimensional.

My current sewing area


My current sewing area - nightime and daytime lighting. The room itself is about 11'x10'. To the left of the long window is a single bed. To the right of my sewing table are three bookcases and the door into the room. One of the bookcases holds most of my craft, design, quilting and painting books. The others have childrens books and some of my hubbies books. The plastic drawers beside the window are sitting on stair treads that will eventually be made into a shelving unit. The peg board will probably sit on the top shelf and be used for displaying small projects in process. I borrowed my son's lamp to shine light on my sewing machine when the main light is too low to see properly. I keep most of my current quilt and interior design magazines in the large basket under my table.
