You did a great job. Now that you don't have anything to do maybe you could come and organize my room.
Your "new" room looks great, and it does appear that your best friend is liking it, too.

My sewing buddy's name is Penny and she loves to "help" me sew. Also she enjoys looking out the window at the birds and squirrels.

You must have got some things from Collectionsetc...that's where I got all mine...they don't have many sewing things like they use to...love the row of ladies with the hats..where did you get those..

Most of the memory items in my room were given to me by family and friends through the years. Some things in there are 30-40 years old and I can tell you who gave me what on 99% of the things. That's what makes them so special to me.

What a neat collection of memory items! My mom made a match-stick cross just like the one you have on your wall, back in the 70's maybe? How nice to surround yourself with warm memories as you create.

You did an amazing job cleaning up your sewing room. I need to organize my fabrics again. I have been sewing up a storm and have used up a bunch and have bunches left.

Thanks for the tour around your sewing room...grat before and after. I love the tree on your wall. Did you have to get rid of a lot or was it mostly just reorganizing?

Good job! I used sell Avon in the early 80's and I had the Lady Thimble collection too, I gave it to my youngest daughter with all my other Avon collectables, including my Mrs. Alby's. You have lots of treasures!
