An Almost Functional Sewing Room

I finally buckled down, found some energy and attacked my sewing room. Part of the thing that helped is the fact I made room in our hall bathroom closet for a lot of my wigs & hair styling stuff that had previously just been sitting around my office. Having somewhere to put all the wigs and wigheads kinda got me over the hump. There's still about a half hour of ...

Sewing Room – finished!

I finally finished everything up last night and at last have a functional sewing room again. Indy is confused at finding she can actually walk into my office: Closet side: Desk side: I still have a ton of photos in frames I need to find a place for, but that can wait. Also need to organize my bins a bit better, but that's not an immediate concern. Tonight - sewing ...

More sewing room progress

Alllllmost done. A couple of more hours tonight and it should be back to fully functional. Most of the stuff left strewn around my tables and the floor are things I can't figure out where to put... a lot of the photos were on the wall and I can't decide if I want to put them back on the wall or not. And since I got rid of the CD ...

work, work, work

This weekend was kinda busy! Friday night I got all my costumes ready for the photoshoot, which was supposed to be on Saturday. I burnt myself on a glue gun so bad I got a blister! That's a first. Saturday morning we ran errands, but then it was too cold for us to shoot, so I went to work cleaning in my office. I decided to try ironing some of ...

Hammering away

More work in my office last night. Tackled the giant pile of fabric and stuff in front of the closet. Didn't quite get through it but made a dent. Mostly worked on the cabinet -- cleaned it out, got rid of some stuff, found $30 worth of change and a ton of foreign money. Moved all my CDs up there, too! Yay!

More cleaning

I don't know what's less interesting, photos of my puzzles or photos of cleaning. But! I worked in my office last night and got my sewing table cleaned up and put up some new shelves. Still have one more little shelf to put up on the left over there, drill ran out of power before we could finish. While looking at this pic it got me thinking; I have my ...

Organization

Trying to get my sewing room clean; it's slow going. I've been trying to tackle it for over a month now. I did have to rearrange my patterns. I was bursting at the seams - I used to keep them in 3 little fabric square drawers, with some oversized ones stuffed under one of my chest-of-drawers and more in plastic bins. I moved them all over to the bigger drawers of ...

Office updates, new furniture!

Finally got my sewing room cleaned up! Here's the blue cabinet - still needs a new magnet to keep the door closed. And the patterns I shoved underneath it need a new home. Here's the white wardrobe. Still want to do the blue accents, and make curtains, but it's use-able.

Repainting the Chest

Hey remember that yellow chest-of-drawers I posted a few weeks ago? I took today off work and got it painted (and got a lot of laundry done.) I'm SUPER happy with the result. Here's it is after one coat: And here it is finished: I left the interior yellow and LOVE it. Rolling it into my sewing room tomorrow and then I can finally get things organized and cleaned up ...

Next project: yellow chest

Sorry I've been MIA... real life happened but I doubt the story is anyone's interest so I won't bore you with it. My next project for my office is this piece of furniture: It was not quite as dirty as the other piece, and still in very good shape, just one piece of a drawer had come off. Once I got it to my house and looked it over, I ...
