Here are two pictures of my "new sewing area" and what I did today. For those of you following my woes of the dog, I have brought a sewing machine to the kitchen so I can keep an eye on the ailing dog and still do something besides "cook".

great job on your stockings!

sorry your furbaby is ailing....That's what got me back quilting last summer - my baby couldn't do the steps any longer to come upstairs.

beautiful stockings!!!

Good job ;) :thumbup:

Looks a lot like my dining room sewing area,,,(or where ever else I decide to sew in the house) :lol:

I just love your cute little pink iron. I've never seen one like it before. I really like your stocking projects.

Thanks, I think I got that at AC Moore with a coupon. I forgot I had it till I was trying to figure how I could iron without running back and forth. The stockings are from a kit from Connecting Threads I got last winter and never made. I really don't want to make a mess of the house so whatever I can do at the kitchen table will have to do.

Love the stockings

What we won't do for our pets! I'm glad Gus is getting better. After all this re-arranging, how are you going to find anything? Love your projects. You sound like me--I can't sit still, have to be doing something. Doing something you love surrounded by Gus & Heidi must make you very happy.

Glad you've managed to move things around. Did the ramp get built?

How are your dogs doing?

See, people without pets don't understand. When I adopted them I made a commitment to care for them the best way I could. If it means sacrificing some things, so be it. I am trying not to disrupt the basement sewing room too much; especially since I just cleaned it last week. Luckily no one else is in the house to care what I do and I rarely eat at the kitchen table so it might as well become my sewing area. Now that I found that both dogs are much happier without all the gates I can flow from room to room much easier; still can't go to the basement without endless barking but......

Those are such cute stockings. I'm sorry your fur baby is not feeling well, They really bocome attatched to us. I love all the bright colors I see in your photo, looks like a very "Happy" place to sew.

Very cute

Thanks for asking. I posted some pics the other day. Look in "Update on Gus". There is a pic somewhere of him using the ramp. They both seem to really like it. Don't know how well it will hold up this winter; it may have to be rebuilt with exterior plywood.

the stockings are cute... but I"m most impressed with the "flower garden " on ur walls.... I LOVE them...so cheery and springy!!!!! Did U paint them ur self????
The pink iron is cute... how do u like it? I've seen the around HObby Lobby, JOanns, etc..... often considered getting one....

Those are darling. I love your wallpaper.

The flower garden is all stencils. I did it about 10 years ago and have no intentions of getting rid of it. The grandkids enjoy it. They think that it is cool to eat "in the garden" even in the winter. I have birds nests on branches over the door and herbs in pots on the backsplash.
The iron is okay, doesn't get very hot or takes too long, or I am impatient, don't know which. It at least makes a good enough crease to make binding okay.

I love your kitchen!! Such a pretty place, your stockings are adorable :D:D:D

Glad you found a way to keep you and your furbabies happy :D:D:D

LOVE your stockings and your sewing area LOVE the painted walls too, so cool, sorry about your dog

kitchen is the most wonderful places to work good job

I got that Kit, maybe I can work on those and get motivated to get back in my sewing room.

Love your garden wall. Stockings are cute to.

I love your work area and also love your garden wall. I have a garden wall similar and it is uplifting to walk through it. Can't fit a table in it so I work on the dining room table and set up my iron against a wall. When company comes I put away my project and drape a table cloth over the ironing board - or if my quilt top is large enough under way - I drape that over it. Its my home and I can sew where I want to.

I'm so sorry to hear that your dog is ill. I understand the heartache. Your kitchen table looks just like my dining room which also spills into the livingroom! Keep sewing!

Love your happy wall too !!!

Love the pink iron...and the stockings are adorable!!!
