Sewing Room make-Over

Well after writing an article for January's BTWT on organizing your craft room, I got so inspired to work on my own space. If you are looking for ideas for a make-over and organization tips, it's worth checking out! I got so many ideas from the very organized ladies who kindly let us use their pictures and tips.

I have been working slow because of not feeling so great. And my hubby's going to help me after he gets home from his trip for work. I need some shelves put up still :) Good thing he's so handy and has so many great ideas! I have a smaller sized room so I really want to make the most of my space in there.

OH the other thing I couldn't wait to talk about - my friend Sherry, http://www.anniesupboards.com/ & I did our Valentine's Swap. WOW I got soooo many wonderful things from her. This is one big picture but what I want to do is show off the goodies when I get them displayed in the house. I have some special plans for some of these wonderful presents. Look how SWEET that dolly is - it's my first SHERRY dolly, whoo hoo! AND wow I'm adding pink & white and green to my sewing room makeover so everything fits in just perfectly. Thank you Sherry, I love ya my pal! You're a great Valentine! XOXOXO!

Back to work!

It's been a few weeks since I've worked; between the holidays and not feeling great near the end of my first trimester I just haven't had the energy to get much done. Oh, in case you didn't know, the good news I have to share is that we are expecting our first child. My due date is July 4th and both of us are just so excited.

I had some 'afternoon sickness' - lol! Headaches and nauseau seemed to strike me in the afternoon hours for some reason during my first trimester. But just in the last few days, I've been sewing and getting my groove back!

I'm working on some new creations for Valentine's Day. My pal Sherry & I are doing a swap for Valentine's Day, I've been working on some new projects that are just igniting my creativity. I can't share pictures yet because I don't want her to sneak in and see them.

I'm getting ready for a little buying trip later this week, I 'need' more fabrics! If you saw my sewing room, you'd disagree. What can I say? I have a little problem in this area, need more ... need more... need more... WHY you ask? Just look at this mess:
