I'd like to begin by telling you about my new abode...my DH and my three boys, (5,16 & 26), recently completed my "quilt-shack". It's actually a very nice, roomy, 20 x 24 building.....JUST FOR ME!!! and all my "stuff" YEA!!!
I've got lights, lights, and more lights, beautiful french-doors, and the armstrong flooring...that I requested...for ease of cleaning, and the icing on the cake...for me anyway, the cute little wrought-iron daybed...that I just "had to have"...cause I might want to read instead of quilt....yeah, right.
Soooo, I've been going through the house...taking ALL my "craft-stuff" out to my new building....man-o-man has it been a job!! Who knew that I had sooooo much...."stuff"!!?? Well, to say it's been making me a little "crazy", or dare I say it, a little "Dr. Seussie". Well, that would be a complete...UNDERSTATEMENT!!!

I've been going through boxes and emptying totes,
Running the vacume and shaking out dust motes.
I've cleaned out the cabinets, and under the beds,
My family keeps grinning and shaking their heads.
I've gone through the closets, and cleaned out my dresser's,
Who would of thought I'd be such a messer? (is that even a word??? eh, it rhymes)
I've found bags full of ribbons, and jars full of buttons,
Can you please tell me why this quilter is such a glutton.
I've picked it up in here, and carried it out there,
Don't you think that just maybe, I should learn to share??
Now my sweet little building is soooo full of "JUNK",
It's made me grumpy and put me in a funk.
So now you're all wondering...what will she ever do?
Will she get it all finished? Will she ever get over feeling so blue?
So here's my decision...I tell you it's true,
I'll just get a cuppa coffee and sit down and talk to you!!!

Whew, I just had to get that out of my system...LOL... thanks for listening my QB friends. Beckie :shock: :D

Great poem!!!


Enjoy your new sewing "room"

Once you get everything all put away and cleaned up you will have a beautiful space to work in!

Great poem, now you get to rest on your new day bed and daydream about your next quilt and craft project. Enjoy, May in Jersey

You are one lucky girl!!

Boy are you lucky!!!

Well my friend take it from me
What you need, I have the key
grab that coffee, Sit down and relax
and let me tell you all the facts
Give me your totes
minus the all the motes
Safely be under my bed
and out of your head!

Tooo funny! Do you ever just wonder where we get all this "much - needed" stuff???

Yep I need it ALL! Congrats on your new space, would love to see a picture when you get it all set up and ready to sew.

Love the poets on this thread, both of them, so far. Very entertaining. Watching for more.

The nice thing is you have a mental inventory that's up to date. You'll have it sorted & stored in no time at all so you can start creating & messing it up.

We need pictures of your new abode!

O Gravy, if I showed you what it looked like now....you'd probably just fall over!!!! I have bins and totes EVERYWHERE...and I do mean everywhere. It will be another week or two to get all the fabrics and trims sorted...BUT, when it looks all "purty" I'll post all sorts of pics. :):) Beckie

it is just a STORY without pictures to make it FACTUAL...just saying..a picture is worth a MILLION words...ehhehe

Ok Ms. Jaciq....you asked for it....but you need to sit down BEFORE you look at the pics. I wasn't lying when I said it a big mess, and it's been making me crazy...LOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK...lol :shock: :shock: :shock:

That's hilarious! You had all this packed away? You're good!

There's still BUNCHES in my bedroom....who knew I had sooo much?
:oops:


PS. DH says "He knew I had that much" lol

First of all, congrats! How wonderful! Such a wonderful team to do this for you! It would be fun to see the pics now and later, if your of mind! Oh to design your own room! How awesome! We just buy a house with one already there.

Don't I know it!!! My guys are the best!!! And my honey is always looking for things to "add or improve" my little get away. Gotta love em' :P

You will have it all sorted and stored in no time
Just do it a bit at a time, no need to whine

Sort fat quarters today and thread tomorrow
Make one big stack of things that you borrowed.

Batting, backing, then the meat of your stash
Sort by colors, make them flash.

Then when you are done, have it the perfect way
Sit back, smile, and then begin to play!!

What a great space! Hope you have more shelves than show in the pics. You must have so much space in your house now.

We have some great poets here. Never could write poetry.

Lucky you!! It looks like fun waiting to happen. Little bits and it will all be done.

piney

Enjoyed your poem.....now go enjoy your new domain :D

Enjoyed your poem.....and how wonderful your own quilting domain:D

I'd like to be smiling NOW!!!
:mrgreen: But, I'll keep at it until I'm done :shock: :shock:

The metal shelves are temps...we're working on some built in's.....it just takes soooooooo long to get it all done. And would you believe I've been working out there for about 3 weeks now :shock: :shock: :shock: You should have seen it before :XD: :XD:

I hope you enjoy your new space when you get it organized. It looks like a nice big space to play in. Have fun.

WOW!! I am in awe!! You are my hero!! So much stashed away and you actually found it!! (I love your poem, too.)
