Awesome studio




We just moved into our new house in the middle of February, and of course it was a nasty, cold, snowy day, but now we are settling in pretty well. There are a lot of special places to hang out like the library, screened in front porch, home theatre room....but my favorite is my awesome new studio. I don't mind bragging about this because if you saw the dungeon I was forced to sew in (for 10 yrs) at the old house, you would agree that I earned this.




It took me a while to get things set up to even this small degree of organization, so I am thrilled to have a nice place with light and no spiders leaping out at me whenever I would pick up a piece of fabric.
My last place was the unfinished basement at our old house which was essentially a dark, dirty, cement box full of huge spiders, crickets, some centipedes, and the occasional mouse.
Needless to say, I didn't get a lot of stuff done there. I would bring my projects upstairs whenever I could, but my sewing machines were down there along with stacks and stacks of bins with all my stash.



Eventually I hope to thin out my stuff and get some cubbyholes on this wall so I can "un-bin" all my yarn and fabric. :)

Blog Do-over

So, I've been reading up on blogs and how to create a better one, which brought to mind this old abandoned blog. Should I start a new one or update this one? I think for the time being I will stay with this one until I get some momentum going. Then probably move to a new one.
I am planning on posting once a week, and will try to post a picture each time. Let me know if anyone is reading this beside my friend at baabins. Ha Ha.
