It's REALLY Going to HAPPEN, Moving.....

Pin It
It's A BIT funny the things that make 
something real to you. 
A house offer, an inspection, an appraisal all done. But, it's didn't all seem real until I started unloading my office. 


My office Before



The shelves are to stay with the house


Packed up all my books, papers and ideas.
I'm ready for our NEW adventure

Staging a Bedroom, Making Rubber Tubs into a Bed

Pin It
Doing it a bit Different 
This is the corner where my buffet was at one time. This room has never had a bed in it, it was my sewing room. So putting the house on the market it needed a bed.
Making Rubber Tubs into a Bed

I took the packed fabric tubs and make a Day Bed

My Singer Feather Weight Sewing Machine

Pin It
I knew it was in the closet and seeing it again, well...
It's been a very long time
I had to say good-bye to it's original box years ago and this carpet bag 
is perfect for it.

my singer feather weight sewing machine

A Singer Feather Weight - 
My mom gave this to me years ago and I used it for classes for years. 
She tells the story behind it.  This sewing machine was the first thing that her and my Father purchased together. She remember is being around 70.00 dollars. If they did it on payments my Grandfather would have to co-sign. They saved and purchased with cash, she said with a very large smile.  The pedal was replaced sometime ??







It works wonderful 


And So Pretty

Sewing Room Clean Out !

Pin It
It took me time, my heart and lots of pictures. My sewing room is getting cleaned up and OUT ! 
Post from a few weeks ago


This is how my sewing room started, I had the buffet for years and it's the perfect height for cutting fabric. Husband built the shelving around it for me. 


The just about there


The THERE 



My buffet was a huge conversation on Facebook, the other day when I posted it's picture. I put it on Craigslist and it sold in 1 day ! It was VERY cold here as it was loaded up, but the lady who purchased it was thrilled and me....I'm alright with it. 

AND NEXT

They say, "If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger"
Here I go !
