My Sewing Room

I've done it!

Sorted my sewing room out.

But it took a lot longer than the one day

that I had set aside for it :(

I wasn't sure whether to post these pics,

'cos it will show the world,

just how much of a sewing room sloth

I had become.

And,

I confess,

these are actually some of the less slothy photos,

'cos the others were just too shameful :(

... but even so, it's pretty bad...

... badder still!!



... it's not good, ay!

Not good at all :(

I am hanging my head in shame as I write this.

This is part way through the process,

and yes,

I know,

it looks worse than ever,

but there really was some degree

of method

happening here.

I do remember the child coming into the room

about this stage,

and ....

backing out again,

very quietly!!!

I think he was genuinely petrified

I was going to ask him to stay and help!!!

But,

then the sun came out,

and three days later

here it is ...

 I found things I had forgotten about,

like my little button mannequin which I love...

...and all my needles in one place,

instead of here, there and everywhere...

Have to say,

it will be novelty

to be able to sew,

without first having to clear a space...



You know what the best thing was,

about the cleaning,

and sorting,

and tidying?

It's not that I can now see all my

''can't live without''

favourite fabrics

nicely

neatly

carefully

folded...



... and it's not that I felt

an incredible sense of

achievement

and elation

that I now have a fabulously tidy room.

Nope ...

the best thing was ...

the chocolate!!!

I know what you are thinking,

any excuse :)

But it's a fact,

I had to have it to maintain energy levels,

and my sanity :)

Sooooo ...

that's the little story

of how the sorriest looking sewing room

is now looking

much much much betterer:)

See you :)

P.S. I don't want to use it now,

though,

in case I make a mess:)
