tis a beautiful thing..

my new sewing & crafting table all ready to go!

my sewing machine & overlocker live on the top, in season fabrics, machine pedals & rubbish bin underneath...
the plastic drawers hold works-in-progress (sewing & knitting), patterns & tracing paper (ok, el cheapo baking paper ;-) ), and felting fleece...
the built in drawers hold sharp things in the lockable one, felting & knitting tools in the middle, and sewing notions in the bottom...
and stashed in the back are my tracing/cutting board (aka hunk of MDF) & 1m/40" steel ruler.

the stack of fabric on the right, in front of our new curtains *insert happy dance here*, will live elsewhere, once there is an elsewhere for it to live in ;-)

doesn't it just bristle with potential?! :-D

lounge transformation!

in the beginning, there was this mess...
followed by some small changes, and then some bigger ones..

well yesterday i was struck by a giant fit of whim, and did this-

which turned into this-

and this-
(oh yeah!! my own sewing & crafting table!! bliss...)

and let's just not talk about this-
ok?

so i'm not exactly finished, but i'm starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel!

sunday update

i've been hard at work in our study today, making heaps of progress! but i won't post a pic because you'll just laugh..the floor & shelves are still completely covered! but in my defence that is just because i am sorting things in there ;-)

i've been rearranging the books to make better use of the shelves size-wise (because we have more to home in there!), and separating fiction from non, and getting the heavier books off the flimsier shelves!

we've tossed most of the tapes (the LP collection remains..) and our ancient cd-rom stash, a 26 year old forest green laziboy (bought as a nursing chair for me!), and i have started on.. The Toys (insert ominous thunder here)

so today...
2.5 supermarket bags of rubbish
1 big box of stuff to give away
1 big box of D&D books to give away
1 laziboy to give away
1 supermarket bag of paper to recycle

the shed of certain doom

need i say more?

well, i will say one thing- you can't see roughly half of it in these pics. *sigh*
