Many thanks for your lovely comments
I've seen clearly that I have to look at my ugly cupboard with another eyes! Maybe it's not so bad, after all :-)
Thank you BluegrassGurl! It's really easy to make and the process was very, very fun.
Hahaha! Oh yes, I do. I kept it simple hoping this way it will be easier to keep clean!
I'm very happy to read this, thanks!
I have a thing with pincushions. When I finish a quilt, I usually make at least one pincushion from the smallest leftovers (you know: those tiny bits that you feel bad to toss because they are beautiful, but they are too small to keep). Then you can save the pincushion for you as a little reminder of that special quilt you made, or you can gift it to someone.
You can also make a pincushion from a little orphan block... or from some scraps that you're using for testing/practicing a new technique. Pincushions are lovely, useful and fun to make, and they are great gift complements!
I thought I was alone with this fever, but one day I found this post http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com.e...ns-galore.html from Crazy Mom Quilts and I had to smile... it's contagious :-)
The cart was specially useful for me before I had the sewing room. I've been quilting in my dining room table until now (continuously placing and removing things) and this cart makes the task easier. Now that I have my own table I don't need to do that, but I've quickly found another tasks that this little helper can do for me... and I'm sure you could also find what it can do for you; it's really versatile!
Yes, we have several Ikea shops. My home is one hour from Valencia, so I usually go there.
I will update the post when I have some news. Thanks again to everyone

I especially like Margarita. ;-)
very sterile....are you sure you sew in there? LOL...
I got all relaxed and warm fuzzy feeling during your tour...
Loved your idea of the pincushion bowl.

I keep looking for an excuse to buy the turquoise cart from Ikea...so far, I can't find a way to shoehorn it into my sewing room
I see you live in Spain. Do you have an Ikea there?

I, too, love the white look, very crisp and clean with your accents of color. Turquoise is my favorite color! Thanks for posting all of the links too. Very helpful. Perhaps you could use those Command hooks to make a little gallery of miniquilts on rhe cabinet. Looking at things that you love might change your view (both literally and otherwise).It's a space begging for a little turquoise + too!
So, enjoy and...enjoy your sewing!!

PS just wanted to add that I love your pincushion idea -about how you use a few scraps at the end of a project. You could do that with mug rugs, too. I looked at the link of the other pincushions and bookmarked a few of her tutorials. Thanks again!
