Sewing

posted in sewing |

We recently moved from Chicago to the Dallas area.  I was sharing my sewing room with my daughter, the room was also her toy room and a sometimes guest bedroom.  Let’s just say, there was a lot going on in that room! 

Now that we’ve moved, I actually get to have my own sewing room!  I am so excited.  The problem has been setting it up.  When we bought the house, the room was the bedroom of a 5 year old girl and it was painted hot pink!  Now, I have nothing against pink, but how did she ever get any sleep in there?  It was definitely not a calming color!   It was too unnerving for me to even think about sewing in there! 

 Well, I have finally found time to start the painting of the pink!  I managed to get a coat of primer on the walls this week.  The pink is gone!  Now I just have to find the time to go put the actual paint on the walls.  I am looking forward to getting my sewing machine plugged back in!  It’s been months since I’ve had it out of the case.  I have a baby quilt that I need to do machine embroidery on and then put together, so I really need to get busy!  That baby is due before the end of July!

I feel motivated today since I got a flyer in the mail from JoAnn’s.  I need to go buy machine embroidery thread, but it doesn’t look like it’s on sale right now.  Since we’ve moved, I haven’t even been to JoAnn’s.  You should know, before we moved, I was there a minimum of once a week!  I even purchase my machine at the Viking store inside of JoAnn’s and before we moved, I went in to tell the good-bye and I cried!  They were the most fabulous women and taught me so much!

 Hope everyone has a great day!  Our sunshine is all ready fading, but I’m going to try to stay motivated!

    Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. My niece who got me started blogging lives in Chicago, and my husband brother’s family live in Dallas. We’ve been to Dallas several times, and will take our first trip to Chicago in September. It was fun reading your blog. Peggy

    Oh! You will really enjoy Chicago in September! The weather is beautiful that time of year, getting windy towards the lake (downtown), but temperatures and humidity are very comfortable!

    Hi! How I wish I could do quilting and sewing too. Few years ago, I was hooked doing cross stitching but later on I got bored so I stop. Then I plan to quilt but never had the chance when I got busy with work. Goodluck on your sewing. :)

    Hi!

    Oh, that’s so nice… to have a sewing room.
    It’s a long time ago I had one, and many more years will go by before I have one again.

    I hope your room will be beautiful!
