Ok so the resolution of posting regularly hasn't exactly worked out...I missed the whole of February! That doesn't mean I haven't been productive there are a quite a few rooms to I need to blog about and I have been applying for some per enact jobs at work as well as shipping over 40,000 parts to China...I mean who knew that airbags had to be in bomb proof containers in case they explode in the middle of the ocean and that screws are the hardest thing to import into china? Anyway, I digress!
The big news in the sewing room is my new space.....
Some of you may remember my lovely lounge that was an old library, here is a picture when I moved in
This is an amazing room that we had been using as a formal lounge if you like, my craft room has slowly been becoming a family room with Greg moving in his work laptop, Maddison all her homework things, which added to all my crafty stuff and workspace we were bursting at the seams!
We took the decisions to have a mega trip to IKEA (which involves a very funny story about getting the wrong size van and taking up an entire row of parking at IKEA Coventry!) we then had some fab friends over who helped us build said IKEA mega trip and move everything upstairs (thanks guys) they were graciously paid in ales, curry, a bed for the night and a big English fry up breakfast.
So here is the fruits of their labour, I couldn't be more thrilled and feel a very lucky girl to have such an amazing sewing space.....
The new cutting and basting area...
The new working space including Greg laptop area....
Behind the desk is a wall of shelving for frequently used items...
The library shelves now hold fabric, card making items and some whisky, I am starting yo see how the DSLR urgently needs fixing as some of the amazing colours are lost...
Finally, Maddi's little sewing and homework station, she is soooo pleased and eecially loves having mummy's old machine.....
I'm not quite sure how the amazing sunshine we had today has come out so dark but I think my iPhone did its best, hope you enjoyed looking around and I plan on being back soon with some more pics on the detail and the projects I have been delinquent in blogging
Happy stitching
Alex
