I admit, I do have a loving and indulgent hubby, I'm lucky. Today, at the Joann's 1/2 price sale I bought the curtain liner for my design wall, and a wooden dowel gadget to hold my thread. It's all coming together. The contractor will be there next week. I will buy the Target shelving for the cutting table Monday when I have my strong nephew around to help me pack it out of the store. I will also get the foam insulation for the design wall on Monday. Wow! You all have given me such good ideas! My son has promised to come lay the floor. And, not that I'm in the habit of dumpster diving, but while taking out my garbage this am., in the dumpster, I found the nicest wrought iron shelf holders. :-). SO MUCH FUN!
