I've done it!

Yep. I'm in my new room. My machine is now in the centre of the room, so I'll be able to quilt large quilts easier. Before, I was up against a window. Hubby bought me a new shelving unit and I've managed to fill it, and there are no books in it! He has allowed me to keep my bookcases in the other room, which will now be a store room. I've been "told" that I have to keep the 2 spare rooms as "bedrooms" now - which is all well and good, but I still need a place to lay out stuff and a bed is the best place. And if no-one is staying, I can leave it on the bed, - cant I?

This is looking from my sewing machine to my stash cupboard. I'm considering getting a ceiling fan, but for the moment this one does OK. The drawers behind the fan hold my "Bonnie Hunter" style scraps (1.5",2" & 2.5" strips: 2", 2.5",3.5" & 4.5" squares; etc). I use the trestle table as a desk to design, write notes and "play".
This one is looking in from the door. The trestle table is about half an inch higher than the Horn cabinet, but I'll put a bit of plastic or something there eventually, so the quilts glide over. A Piecemakers calendar hangs from the curtain behind the ironing board. I'm still fiddling with the shelving unit. It looks a little messy at the moment.
And this shot shows my cutting table (which is a bit higher than a regular table) and my new shelving unit. My cutting table is an old door on a couple of leg stands that we got from Bunnings quite a few years ago. HE told me I could have a new table, but this one does me fine.

I'm still changing things, but I think it's about right now. I'm so glad He agreed that my books could stay in the other room. One day I might take a couple of shots of my book/magazine collection. I've culled it quite a lot lately, but there's still way too many. So many things I'd like to make - too little time left to make them. The trouble is, the older I get, the more I find that I'd like to make. It just never gets any less - know what I mean?

Anyhow, I'm loving my "sea-change" :-)

Till next time,

Cheers,

Faye.
