WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE SEWING ROOM

That's a question I often ask myself too LOL when the sewing room was painted a mustard like yellow with the green trim, there was jut something about it that made me not want to be in there, maybe it was the green trim throwing me off, maybe the yellow in the fabric on the yellow walls , all I knew was I was losing my mojo LOL, maybe it was leaning too much toward Chic than prim LOL oh well the wait has been long enough , when you've got over 12 yards of fabric you should do something with it right? LOL so I've decided to pull in more colors to tone down the yellow on yellow

I pulled out my dollhouse like bookcase & decided to use it in the sewing room,I'm going through a if ya got it use it kind thing LOL, see that green trim? maybe I'll paint it white LOL

I had 2 of these, with most of my fabrics in them,one had to go to make more room since I turned everything around, thinking about painting it pink & making green squares outta the green fabric for the shelves, the tree on top will be loaded with ornies from 2 ornie swaps

my hubby's childhood toy box has either been in the closet or just stuck somewhere through the years, another case of if you got it use it! LOL sooo I Incorporated it into my sewing room, my little bunnies I purchased from Hobby Lobby makes me smile so I decided they could stay out all year round, who made the law bunnies are just fro Easter anyway? LOL

there's a lot more to this little room, so stay tuned for over all pictures once it's all completed, for the crafting part I've been working on Americana this week, every thing's about ready for pictures, the sewing room looks like an Americana bomb went off LOL , Annie's, Andy's ,wreaths, pillows, there's even a rag quilt being put together LOL

till next time, happy crafting!

I WANTTA FINISH MY QUILT!

LOL I was dragging out some unfinished projects, trust me there's a lot! LOL anyways I was thinking about a quilt that I had started with my Aunt a few years back, she often ask if I ever finished it, she even gave me her quilting frame which is over 100 yrs old & takes up a whole room, anyways I was thinking humm I do need to get that quilt out but I think I shall finish it on a hoop LOL so I pulled it out of the closet & spread it across the bed to let you see how sweet it is

here's a closer look, pulling it out brings back sweet memories of when she brought that quilting frame to my house & we set up in the living room for a few days working on this quilt, I never will forget her asking for a flashlight & going up under the frame & askign where's your stitches! LOL LOL I wasn't poking my needle through deep enough LOL LOL

yes indeedie I think I shall work on this a little each day, then go for a visit & show her it is finish, I know she'll be so proud, I know I will be! LOL LOL oh & to make sure to show her all the stiches on the other side! LOL LOL
