I'm so good at doing all the things she does; covering boxes with fabric to make then look more professional as well as with good ideas. But now that I actually gave the room to create it, I'm finding myself stuck with hurdles in every corner. Lol. The pressure to make it perfect and little pockets of time inbetween taking care of my two yr old, has proven to be harder than I'd imagined. I'd love to have her standing in my room for 5 mins for some of her fresh eyes!

I am on my own crafting journey myself. I am working on my crafts room atm... the best I can but am having some troubles along the way. seems I want it to be perfect and we all knows how that goes.. when you want something perfect, that's when it seems to never come out right! Haha. I'd love your opinion on what I've done so far and some fresh eyes! I'm at a stand still with it and can't seem to get past some hurdles. Let me know if you have sometime to have some pics sent to you and maybe you can give me some much needed advice! Your ideas r AMAZING! I'm so great at crafts and doing things I love like household decor.. but for some reason I just can't get my own room right! Ugh. Here's my email if you get some time for the pics.

I have gotten so many wonderful ideas from your post, thank you so much. I love the scissors everywhere idea - I currently keep them in every room of my house because you always seem to need them. My room is quite a bit smaller, but I think I'm going to try and get my papisan chair in there, which is my favorite to relax in. I am so in awe of your room - if you haven't done so recently, sit back and take it all in, for you are the envy of many =) Thank you so very much for taking the time to write it all out for our benefit!Brehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259466607337474107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-65329059903278876182015-12-17T06:38:16.337-05:002015-12-17T06:38:16.337-05:00This room is fabulous!

I ended up touring your sewing room. Love it. Many ideas. Organization is so important to me (close to a behavioral disorder - LOL) but helps me get things done efficiently, which is where I'm at. I also do lots of different projects, including helping non-profit retreat and women's centers re-do rooms and furniture. You might be interested in how I handle Paint Touch up for rooms and furniture. Just recovering from long term illness and feels so good this spring to be back on projects. Thanks for inspiration to become even more efficient.

I'm working hard to make a studio for myself. I don't have anyone to help. I can't repaint or change the furniture/blinds/walls. That is very limiting for me, as I'm all about color. Luckily, the walls were white (I can live with that) and the blind is a blue I love.<br />That brings me to the real point of my comment, your opening statement is that your space was born of tragedy. I've had breast cancer twice, my sister has MS. Almost all my relatives/friends have passed. I miss them more than you can ever imagine. Things can be replaced but people can't. What you've experienced in the flooding of your sewing room is unfortunate but no tragedy. You can replace those things.Artyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444388577263040867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-14587838867196458202014-10-27T18:31:06.139-04:002014-10-27T18:31:06.139-04:00I find the surge protector and light a great idea ...I find the surge protector and light a great idea - I have my iron, sewing machine etc. plugged into it and when the light is off, so is everything else. I use the olive tray idea to keep my seam ripper, extra bobbins and thread and if I have to use more than one presser foot during a project, the one that's not in use is right where I need it. I've also taken to covering boxes on my shelves and one of my very fav things is my label maker. I bought some little mesh bridal bags and have labelled them - one for each of my presser feet and keep them in a plastic drawer box on the shelf over my sewing center. Being organized has really helped me to sew more efficiently. Just wish I had a bigger space but then I feel lucky just to have an area where I can close the door. Keep the ideas coming Karen. I just love them!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313769306944527605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-89698511697696885092014-07-26T12:30:38.130-04:002014-07-26T12:30:38.130-04:00ahhhhmazing! ahhhhmazing!
