The "Now you see it ~ now you don't *sewing room* "..

A few years ago I reclaimed some space in our house and declared it MY "quilting cave". We have company m-a-y-b-e twice a year, and I do a whole lot more sewing then that! So.. we invented the redneck "wall-bed", and when people come over we just lower the mattress off the wall, and set the bed up on cinder blocks...lol You honestly cannot tell UNLESS you stub your toe on said "cinder blocks" *gasp*. We've learned to set them back a LITTLE extra because it was makin' us use our "pin ball" language.

Necessity REALLY IS the Mother of Invention. We C-clamped the head board to the wall so that when I tie the mattress/box spring to it they don't slump or fall over. When the bed is tied up I have two .99¢ flannel backed table clothes pinned on and that's my flannel wall working space. Provided I have not been working on a messy project I can go from sewing room to guest room in about an hour. I love this small space.. it's only about a 12'x12' room.. but it beats dragging all my stuff out to the kitchen table. Also, company is WELL aware that they are sleeping in my sewing room. The women love it because it's full of magazines and other great craft books...and the guys get a big kick out the concept. We cracked ourselves up when it was done....lol
