Oksew--sounds treacherous! Pleeease be careful.
Rob--throw.it.out! Goodness, how cheap is elastic? Consider it respiratory therapy to give your space room to breathe. You will thank yourself, trust me.
As February comes to a close, my progress on the Jan/Feb sewing room tidy list continues slowly but surely. It has taken a backseat to getting the master bedroom decluttered, cleaned, paint samples chosen (still deciding) , and then my sister from Tx announced she was coming. She stays at my dad's house, but I'm his cleaning lady , so I've been trying to keep up two houses. But I am determined to get my sewing room in shape so she (a quilter) can come play with my machine.
