IS THIS YOU?
lol how cute is this? I came across this on Pinterest this morning what a cute new name for all those UFO’s lol! when things settle in the sewing room, there’ll be a lot of missing body parts (dolly legs, arms etc) that’s just going to the trash bin, then there’s those nakies that’s been waiting for a new face or new legs cause I wasn’t happy how they turned out but I’m sure someone will come along through a thrift store & be glad to rework them, I believe this will help release the creative side of me & make those PHD’s go a lot faster lol!

PLAYING IN THE SEWING ROOM
This week has been a busy one so not much time to play in the sewing room as planned but that’s just how I roll lol! but it’s still getting done here & there
I’m thinking about putting fabric all down the top of this shelf, whata ya think? as far as in front of the fabric, sheep? supply jars? button collection? just dunno but this I do know, that green trims gotta go! lol!
the little cubby hole is a good place for an extra machine, not sure where to put the other 2 extras lol! the Ann/Andy painting I got at craft show for $10, can you believe it?
I think the next phase in the sewing room will be getting the trim painted & getting the curtains made, I believe this help get my creative juices flowing as to what to do & how to do this room

WHAT AM I DOING TODAY?
hubby is off today & he is helping me with the sewing room, isn’t he sweet? lol! we’ve been pulling out what doesn’t work & pulling back in what does, when it comes to my sewing room, a dear friend always tells me, “don’t tell me, show me!” LOL so I will show one wall that I’m working with in the sewing room ok maybe two
this side I’m beginning to like ,the cubbie cases are as old as dirt lol has been on every wall every which away, even on their sides on the floor lol! & the shelf came out of the walk in closet we’re transforming into a man’s closet for hubby, anyways this all gets painted a pretty cream
then over here, this corner is taking shape I think I need to hurry & finish painting, get the curtains done, things hung up before I start moving everything around again, it’s starting to feel like a sewing room again & I don’t wantta lose the inspiration lol! I have a busy week but am determined to work on my sewing room everyday till it’s done, you should see all the boxes of sewing stuff I have to go through & sort but I am determined it will get done lol!

IS THERE ANY END?
Seriously, is there ever any true end to the unending UFO”s known as unfinished or ongoing projects LOL!
traditional raggedy Ann & Andy’s, that didn’t get finished due to gallbladder surgery
I’ve actually been working on this one,I started it with my Aunt a few years ago & I’m determined to get it finished so I can show her I did it while she still remembers who I am, so I’m pushing myself on this one for sure
I’m not sure where I even put her, no she did not get burned up in a fire LoL! she will be a Prim grungy Snow Angel when I find her lol!
hum what do we have here ,the snowmen I know go to an Annie from You Are Special pattern,looks like some candy corns, crows & somebody’s legs LOL!
this is patterned after the picnic quilt that Pleasant Home gave a tutorial for a while back
http://www.pleasant-home.com/2012/01/scraptacular-picnic-quilt.html
well it just isn’t looking picnicee enough for me LOl!but I do want to make one so I’m going to start over on this project
yes! yes! yes! this is finally turning into happy curtains!
I participation in a red & white quilt square swap about 2 years ago, I've found the perfect star block to work with, just haven’t had the time to get started on it
maybe i should put this in my sewing room LOL

WHY DO WE DO IT? LOL
well I think I’ve went & done it! lol! a few weeks back I came across a neat looking challenge over at
http://ricochetandaway.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-will-wear-it-in-public-sewing.html
this past Easter ,my daughter shows me a skirt she bought, nice long full, looks like sewn in strips, we both agree we could probably make one of those lol, then I come across this challenge, here’s where the “now I’ve done it” comes in lol all this time I was thinking that the date May 31st was the signup deadline, I went back & re-read & there it was! a tiny little word that I’d missed! ENTRY!!! oh my & I’ signed up this morning before seeing that lol! soooooo plans have changed & there’s creating,designing & sewing to be done quick! lol!
