So as promised, I have a bunch of photos of my looooong awaited sewing room!! So I figured I would have a little sewing room warming party with you all and introduce you to my brand new sewing room!!! I have waited many many many years for this room to come and I'm soooo excited to FINALLY have it!!!
Let's see this sewing room took one divorce, one major car accident involving a dump truck, a long drawn out university study to get my business degree and a good permanent job with the provincial government.. This all in a 10 year span!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL So without further ado... welcome to my humble little sewing studio!!! please be patient with me as I counted 30 photos I want to share here, so I want to add little notes as I go to each photo!!! So come on in and have a little looksie around!!! :) Cheers Andrea My hope chest if filled with batting. On top are some of my cushions I made and a trapunto runner [ATTACH=CONFIG]37867[/ATTACH] Coming down the stairs from the main house you see this Grapevine Wreath WH and my hope chest [ATTACH=CONFIG]37868[/ATTACH] My UFO cabinet that is filled to capacity!!! This is next to the stairs. [ATTACH=CONFIG]37917[/ATTACH] |

Aaawwwww! Your little helper looks the same size as my little monster, Shea. He's curled up at my feet, under my sewing table, resting his head on my FQ storage bin. I'm thinking he's dreaming up my next project. :mrgreen:
