Default It only took me 18 months...

We moved into our house 18 months ago. We downsized quite a bit in house (upsized in land) and I lost my sewing room. It turned out to be a blessing though. We ended up doing away with our home office (we both work from laptops when home anyway) and I got the office space for my sewing area. I took me several tries to get the furniture in the right spots, but I'm finally happy with it. Oh, and it works out really well using the blinds as a 'design wall' with Wonder Clips (man, I love those things).

I'm in the process of remodeling my childhood dollhouse that inherited from my grandmother a few months ago, in case you are wondering what all that is about. My fabric is stored in the storage room, tucked away in plastic boxes. I learned last winter to put all textiles in containers after the mice made a happy little habitat in my embroidery thread. Oh the joys of the country!

Please excuse my floors. Chickens live right out back.

Looks great! Your doll house needs a teeny tiny quilt hanging off the front porch.

How nice your space looks. Mine gets all messed up with each project.

Nice looking, very organized space. I look forward to seeing what you create there.

First a great looking space. If you need a large design wall, my wall is very portable. I just use a vinyl flannel back table cloth with a grid and super cheap. Then I use 2-4 skirt hangers with the swivel hooks that would fit the top of your windows and attached to your vinyl tablecloth. Easily fold and store nicely.

You have an amazing space. I would die for that much natural light.

I've thought about that. How does one make a teeny tiny quilt?
