 When you place an order with me I sew it here in my sewing room over the kitchen. As you can see, I use a simple sewing machine, not a huge commercial beast. I placed my sewing machine next to the window so that I would have something lovely to look at when I rest my eyes. I've got my three tier scrap basket behind me and the wonderful ironing board my husband made me. Do you see the blue shelf on the wall with samples hanging from it? That was a step from my neighbor's old back porch. They had thrown it out for clean up day. I just love the color! I used lamp tops for hooks. The old sewing machine stand for my machine (the top is new) is from another neighbor's trash. You just never know what you'll find.  Next is my "Sit and Sew" area. That's an electric fireplace between the chair and the settee. (Yes, you guessed it. Both pieces were out on the curb on clean up day.) You can see the ceiling line, and how the roof pitches down in this area. I think it's rather cozy, especially with the quilt slip covers. I bring my little pot of tea and I'm set. Do you see that little oil painting over the fireplace? I swapped a budding artist (10 year old) for a lap quilt she liked. It's a sweet painting of a house on a hill with lots of flowers around it. Who knows? Maybe someday she will be famous.  I tidied up the stacks just a bit before I shot this picture. This big closet is where I keep my fabrics, laces, batting, and other necessary sewing supplies. The table (Yes, clean up day.) next to the door is where I put "Out Going Orders" that are in various stages of readiness.  Hello Dolly! She's the mannequin my husband made for my apron picture. She is pink on one side and purple on the other. Isn't her flip hair-do wonderful? As you can tell from the pictures, my cutting table (Someone was throwing out a perfectly good dining room table!) is in the center of the room. The table next to dolly (Who throws away a vintage enamel top table with hinged extensions?) is my "Drop Off" area. Incoming boxes that need to be sorted end up here. The tour is over dear ones. Thank you for stopping by. Please browse through my website and enjoy yourself. |
