Sewing Room Redo Part I

So I started sewing my window treatments
 this past Saturday,
FINALLY!! I've only had that

room for 4 years now!

So in my last post

I actually showed you my workspace,

but I knew if I did that

then I would

have to

work on it, so I did, on Saturday, YEA!!

I sewed the window

treatments on all three windows that I have,

Front window:

Just a simple roll up shade, nothing

fancy,

Don't you love my little sign:

Casa Bella,

I found it at Marshalls sometime

back and only

paid 5 dollars for it, so I was very

happy.

Now, my side window which I get to

look out of when

I'm at my sewing machine:

I love this spot, because I have a window

box there, and in the

spring and summer with flowers blooming

it looks pretty.

I can also look right at my house so if DH needs

me he can get my attention.

Now the back window:

You can see part of my fabrics there,

I need to find room

for more of my fabrics, I need to

get another storage

unit in there.

I have an old antique dresser in my room

but I need to paint it

and put it in our guestroom, so I'll need

something to store

all my papers, and extra fabrics and ribbons.

I have a cabinet in the

garage that needs alot of TLC so I may end

up putting that in here.

We'll see.

I will be adding a list on the right side of my

blog showing what

still needs to be done in my sewing room.

Today, I was able to

clean it well, steamed mopped the floors as well

so now its clean, no shoes in

there either, especially

on snowy or rainy days, its just makes my pretty

floors all dirty!

So there you have it ladies, I did my window

treatments. And it

didn't even take me that long to make either.

Except for when I had to

run back to

Hobby Lobby and purchase more ribbon, I

ran out!

Nothing more frustrating than that. I was on

a roll, and darnit, I ran

out of the black and white ribbon to tie up the

treatments with.

When I got there, they had only one left, and

thank goodness, that's

all I needed to finish this project. Hope you like

it, I do.

Another Craft Show

My friend, Valerie and I, are getting ready for another show this Saturday. The show is in Cascade, MD at the Ft. Ritchie Community Center. This time I'm trying to make some pretty clipboards. Of course, this isn't a new idea. It's been done by others and I thought, "I could do that". I collect scrapbook paper and all kinds of stickers and fun stuff. I like paper crafting and so does Valerie. So we attempting this project. My workstation looked like it exploded. But that's how I work. Then when I'm done, you wouldn't be able to tell I was even there. I love my workshop. My hubby gave up the "man room" for me. Since I love to sew, scrapbook, and do crafting, he gave me the room beside the garage. I'll have to take pictures and post them. It's a great room, my getaway. And as you see, I even have tea there. I do have pretty tea cups, I just need to get them out, since tea is much better in dainty girly teacups.

So, I've been working hard getting ready for the show and I can't wait. All I need to do is add ribbon to my clipboards and I'm ready to go. Oh my, it's only 3 days away, no stress.............
