Well, I did it (sort of)!

Today is the day to share your space, via The Blooming Workshop!  Head over there and see where Anita creates *jealous* and to see who else is joining in.

I've moved in!

We finally got my new desk put together and situated in my sewing room.  Gone is the bed for guests (they are relegated to the couch in the basement for now) and in its place in front of the window is my work space.

Great lighting and big work space.

This desk is so much bigger than my old one, I love it!  And the part where the sewing machine sits is lower than the rest, which will help with shoulder pain.  AND that part can be pushed back under the desk if I’m forced to let some guest sleep in the room.

My desk will work for now (I can now sew!)… but I have a few things left to deal with in order to make this a complete room:

  • Extension cord for the sewing machine (so it doesn’t hang under like that).
  • Set up the ironing board (and make it a less unsightly cover).  When I’m quilting, I’m going to set up the ironing board to the right of the sewing machine so I can swivel my chair to iron.  No more getting up and down!  But I do need to find another place for it that isn’t in the way when I’m not needing it constantly.
  • Basket for my bottom drawer there.  It needs some dividing to make it more useful.
  • Bulletin board!
  • Hang my spectrum quilt and a few other things on the wall.
  • Comfy chair for in the corner.
  • More storage!!  We have plans for this(I’d use that shelf, but on its side).  My closet is a mess and I need some more counter and storage space to really make it great in here.  Plus, this will give me room for better organization for my scrapbooking stuff.  Right now, those things are too hard to get at so I don’t use them much.
Shelves in their new home.

Shelves in their new home. Please excuse the brown plant.

The shelves are opposite the desk now, instead of in their original corner (to the left of where the desk is).  It was just too tight with the desk there now.

So that’s my space, where do YOU create?  Go let Anita know!
