I´m back with part two....

of my sewing room tour..
Ok where were we... 
First corner showed...
When looking more to the left I have the "sewingpart" of the room.. 
Long room..:O))... but narrow... 
and the angled ceiling takes away lots of space..
 but thats how it is.. I know I have LOTS of SPACE!! 
But I do have a lot of things too..lol...

Some white paint would do magic to the ceiling... 
but I think I save that to my next ReDo..:O))
The white desk have become Viktors favorite place to do his homework....
Had a cutting table here before.. but took it away because all that happened was that I piled up everything on that table when coming from downstairs...
NOT GOOD..

 Some storage along the wall and a newly made note board
with old doilies...
At the end of this room beside the window...
  is where I sit and ponder and hopefully sews something..:o)
Behind the sewing table I have my books and my patterns...
neatly organized now!!!!


My little cutting table made from old boxes that held bulbs of tulips and other spring bulbs before. Stacked on each other, an old table top on top and some baskets.. :o)
And on wheels..:O))

Designwall made from a styrofoam board..
just glued to a rod.. and covered with flannel..
Works super!!
Now looking back to the beginning of the room..
I have my fabric cabinet...
Filled with LOTS of fabrics... 
the prettier ones high up.. I hardly open the lower doors... 
where the darker fabrics are..:O))

I love this cabinet.. its perfect!!
 Well... Almost back at the beginning... 
Here is where I have a little show and tell corner..:O))
Quilts made by friends, in swaps, and by myself.. and changed after mood!
And erhmmmm..
did you take notice??
The  white "small" pile hidden under my grandmothers laundry bag...
FABRICS...
but unwashed!!!! 
Ahh.. when will I ever catch up my washing... 
PREWASH or NOT... thats the question... right ...:o))

So thats it.. my Creative place in my corner of the world!!! :o)

No sewing here yet today...
have been on a mission today looking at a puppy for my Mum...
So sweet so sweet...
Could adopt her right away!!
To cute... :o))
Hope she stayed still for some seconds and got caught on a picture...
have to check my camera later..:O))

See you ..:O)
maybe I should make something tonight..???

My Creative place....

Well lets say ..
I NEVER EVER HOPE THIS WILL HAVE TO BE DONE AGAIN!!!!

So.. shall we start a tour of my de-cluttered sewing room...

OK..:O)
It all started with me buying a glass cabinet...and having the glorious idea of having it in my sewing-room ...
it was just that I had to reorganize everything to get it in place!!
Silly me!! :o)
But finally after a lot of not so nice words popping out of my mouth...
and the THINKING hat on.. I managed to squeeze it in... :o)

And I love it.. it holds all those things I had all over the room before
 and collecting DUST...
Yes I have that in my room...lol..LOTS!!!
Now I can see where everything is...
except for all those little bits that I have stuffed in tins and cant see!!!
Oh.. and there you can see a pretty new little bundle of joy...
BUTTERCUP...


I had the amazing  luck in winning it from Fig Tree Quilts and Joanna earlier !!
Looks lovely right!! :o)

Moving to the left I have a little cabinet filled with this and that.. 
and a little place to show some quilts....
Further to the left I have a guest bed..
So Marica.. if you come some day you have to sleep in another direction...lol
and hope you wont fall out of the bed..;O)

That was the first corner...:o)
Think its time for a cup of tea for me... 
(promise to be back and show the other side of the room...)
and perhaps a book or two to read and sigh about!!

Can you tell me..
How in the world do you do when you sew!!
Think I lost it!!

And its a little bit of grumbling here from me..
I bit off a piece from a tooth this morning.. 
Lucky me.. 
Glasses yesterday .. the tooth today...
well well....
as long as my boys are having a great time over at sunny Mallorca Im happy..
sun...the pool.. great food... and lovely tennis courts..:O)
at least that is what they tell me..:o)

And OH.. I have a question for you in the USA....
Where is it the best to buy a San Jose Shark t-shirt for Viktor????
Birthday coming up here!!! :o)

LOVE ...:o)

My week at home...

I spent organizing...
in the sewing room..
I had things all over..
Sorry no BEFORE photos...lol..
It took all week.. since I had to rest all the time.. but
I got it done..
so I can finally have place for the sewing machine and the cutting mats!!!
I love it..
its a comfy space where I can sit and relax and just enjoy
my things..
Some wishes are...
is to have white ceiling... and more walls!!!
Got my blocks from Norway up on the design wall..
and I have almost finished the top this weekend...
Pictures will come... :o)
Just needed to call Louise for help on deciding on the border!!
Funny ... 
 debating on to take that one or that one.. isnt funny doing all alone...
and when talking to Louise..
everything comes to place! 
Thanks for your input my friend!!! :o)

Ok.. more pictures from my room..
little things to be inspired from...
at least I think so..

Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend..
some I know have sewed on mysteries..
some just sewed.. some don't...
some maybe relaxed..
and all of that sounds just fine to me...

Have to try to work tomorrow..
back still not good...
so it will be exciting...
up on the bike tomorrow.. in minus degrees...
sigh!!!
See you later...

Hello ...

still here...
didn´t get lost in the sewingroom.. .
or even worse ...got attacked by some awful dustbunnies!!! :o)

Im on the run!!!!
(but more of that later...)

Report from my sewingroom...
Got an idea just in the middle of all the cleaning up..
I needed a designwall !!!!

So DH went away and bought a styrofoamboard..
I put fabric ontop...glued..with hotglue...
Aooouuchhhh!!!! :o)

And wow.. It worked beautifully...:o)
But I had to reaarange everything in the room.. sigh...
so it became even more MESSY!!! lol...
TV...had to go...
but that was a good thing...
...fabric moved....
...empty cupboard moved...
isnt this a great cupboard??? :o)
...filled again on its new place...
Ohh.. I love this one.. its perfect!!! :o)
And this is a view of where I sit and try to be creative.....
...and this is what I see from my sewingarea now...
MY NEW DESIGN WALL!!!!
Woohoo..to great ideas!!!
and cheap ones...:o)

Ok..
I said I ran away...
and so I did...
a fast decision...some telephone calls...
a bus trip...
well...
not so fun trip..this was my view..for about 5 miles or so...
pretty or what...
NO... this is the backdoor of the bus..there was no place to sit in the bus.. and me and another girl had to sit at the stairs...
Pheew...
But I survived.. reached my destination...
To the home of John and Louise..
for a week of Sewing fun!!!
We celebrated their anniversary one night...
and I got to meet their lovely grandchild...
Olivia...
and..wow..she really wanted to have some dessert...
she just sucked on to the foot of the glass..and didnt want to let go!!!
What a sweetie!! :o)
Over and out..and back with some sewing later..
