done!

Yep - got into the sewing room -

on the table, on the desk, on the floor - what a mess!  Picked up where I left off yesterday afternoon.  A couple hours into it, I really just wanted to open a drawer and throw stuff in!  But I persevered and got 'er done.
Even straightened up the book shelf of fabric.  And before anyone asks what's on top of the filing cabinet - it's a fax/copier.  It's an older one, but it was free and works great.  The corner you can't see, is my office area but there was no room for the fax/copy machine there so it lives on top of the filing cabinet and the filing cabinet is not used for office stuff - it's filled with fabric :-)    So where was I???? Oh, yeah,  while I was straightening things up, DH comes in and sits down (there's another chair at the office desk that you can't see) and tells me he's going to get rid of "that thing".  When I ask what thing, he mentions the shelf.  So he goes on to tell me he thinks he'll just do a whole wall of built ins!!! Oh, dear, do I really think this will happen - ummm not really, but I do like that he at least thought of it :-)  But I do go on to tell him that I wouldn't mind going to the Habitat Store and seeing what they have in kitchen cabinet type stuff and maybe retro-fitting it to the sewing room.  That covered table is a JoAnn's craft table that fold up.  I have only half of it folded and I made a cover to go over it because it 'houses' a few more boxes of stuff - all my embroidery stabilizer is under there, a small box of patriotic themed fabric, and a couple of  other miscellaneous items that I don't use often.
And here's the other Mug Rug I made for the swap:
I was thinking of Ricky Timm's convergence, but these are so small you don't get the true effect.  I do like it, though.  I hope my swap recipient does, too.
So it's back into the sewing room tomorrow and finish up the one raffle quilt and move on to the next one.

love the mug rug...!!!

as for the sewing room, omg...you would of been so comfortable in mine back at the house. Remarkably like yours only with more room lol, um, you know, packed to the max and no where to turn? LOVE IT! I honestly think I could be creative in there.

Now, this part scares me....

"DH comes in and sits down (there's another chair at the office desk that you can't see) and tells me he's going to get rid of "that thing". When I ask what thing, he mentions the shelf. So he goes on to tell me he thinks he'll just do a whole wall of built ins!!!"

Now, I'm not sure which part scares me MORE. That your DH feels safe entering AND sitting in your sewing room...or that he was actually THINKING of how to make it better!

But to understand why it scares me would be to know my husband....

I still find it amazing that all husbands are not alike, cause both of mine sure seemed to end up that way. I might be able to imagine this from my first husband if I really tried hard enough, but no way in heck, from keith.
