before and after

Here is the after of moving my sewing table to be by the windows.  Notice the big empty space on it.  That is as clean as it will ever be.  It's already covered in stuff again.  It's nice and bright when I have the blinds open. 

Here is the before by the window.  What a mess!

 

And here is where my sewing machine was.  That area now has some of my fabric storage and Henry's Lego setup.  I think I'm happy with it.

And the good news for guests is that there is still room for the air bed to be set up (mostly my parents when they visit!).  :) 

Happy sewing to me!

Cleaning up

Every time I clean up in my sewing space I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. I want to move my sewing table to the other side of the room, to be in front of the window, but I can't seem to make the space to do so. Just to vacuum I need to pick up at least one pile off of the floor.

I did manage to organize on the sewing table itself, but its still far from ideal. On a positive not, I have finished several small projects that have been taking up space for several years. I hope to get them out of the house soon, too.

This past week I gave one recipient a quilt I am swapping for a knitted item and some home canned goods. Also just sent out a quilt to surprise a friend. I will share pictures of the finished projects soon.
