A woman possessed.

I was a woman possessed this week! I have been feeling like I am in a real rut with my quilting (I think its to do with Mill still being away) so I thought I would give my sewing room a good clean out. It was supposed to be a quick sort through a few boxes, but then I just couldn't stop! What ensured was the removal of almost all the furniture from this room, our bathroom became an impromptu library, and the lounge room, well lets just say we had to do a little acrobatics to move around the house!

I did the whole thing all by myself (Jamie was at work) even moving the queen-sized bed and mattress. I am sooooo happy with the result, it feels so clean and fresh!

Here are two shots of what it used to look like. Lots of teaching books piled on high shelves. Little space to actually do much sewing. The chair was in the middle of the L shaped space.

This is what it looks like now. I love the way the bed is now, with the photographs above it, and the blind no longer being behind the bed head.

You might not be able to tell from this photo, but there is just so much more floor space to work in now, and being rectangle shaped and not L shaped this new space is so much more inviting for any visitors that want to do craft too! Last job will be to sort out my sewing table! Eeck!

I have been looking on eBay UK for Liberty of London silk scarfs, which sell on the website for a huge amount of money. I picked up these two beauties for under $15 each!

If you can, post photos of you sewing rooms or where it is you like to quilt? I always love seeing other peoples work areas (remember when Lane let us have a look into his sewing room? When Nancy showed us her chair?). I think it adds to the connection we have with each other as quilters.
