Or should I say decks, as in plural....in other words, multiple cluttered surfaces. As of late, I have been somewhat confined okay quite a bit confined to the house. My youngest daughter has been dealing with some health issues and is home from Montreal. Soooo....I thought I should make good use of my time. Let me share some of my progress with you.
A little fat quarter storage....CD holders from Ikea do the trick. In all honesty, I still have two huge rubber maid containers full, that I need to refold, since using them to pack breakables etc. when we moved over a year ago.
The design walls up and working.....lovely way to display quilts when not being used!!
The Long Arm all cleared off.....time to start longarming again. Hmm....is that even a word??
Lots of storage, for works in progress.....trust me, that is just the touch of the iceberg....there are many many more buckets of those. What can I say, it's part of my process.
See....all clear.
Extra, sitting down, ironing space.
I believe in using every nook and cranny....for all those awkward things.
Storage right up to the ceiling!!!!!
SOOO.....DOES UNEARTHING THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER MEAN I ACTUALLY HAVE TO USE IT?????
Me and my drill got a little carried away....like I said, I like to use every nook and cranny.
Speaking of drills.....I even organized my tool area!!!
Now that the cutting table has been cleared off....does that mean I have to start sewing????
Note my design wall....my little Paige has been at it again.
We moved over a year ago and I finally unpacked the last box, on Monday......doing the dance of joy!!!!!
Now I'm bracing myself for the Kitchen Reno.
What a wonderfully clean and organized work space!!! Such joy. Doing the happy dance with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteAwesome quilting space! The trainer has been unearthed so you can drape works in progress on it!
ReplyDeleteI need a nap.
ReplyDeleteAmazing quilting space!!:) so cool! And all that fabric! wow, so cool again :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, I hope you start creating soon.
ReplyDeletewhat wonderful organization and storage!
ReplyDeleteA++ for organization! How did you hang the quilts above the sofa (2nd photo)? One looks as if it's floating on a black wall. Looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteYes, you have to use the elliptical...consider it creative time!;)
ReplyDeleteHope your kiddo is feeling better and thanks for making us all jealous of your space!;)
It looks like a great space to work. I'm pretty impressed with your fabric collection - you obviously have a lot of stash...
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me happy:)
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job getting things in order! You will now have to switch you thinking from unpacking and straightening up to sewing and creating. I have been thru a kitchen reno and it can be a challenge if you haven't prepped for it. One thing I did was have my electrician install a receptacle for the stove in the basement so I could still cook. The fridge ended up in the dining room and microwave was in the enclose porch. I washed dishes in the basement in the laundry tub. There was a lot of walking between spaces to cook a meal, but I was glad to at least still have a stove.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing space! I believe organizing becomes a vicious circle! But you have inspired me. Now yes, it is time to get back to sewing!!
ReplyDeleteSo many great ideas!
ReplyDeletePfwhew!! That was fun! Great tour.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteLove all of this! And just in time as I am about to design a new sewing room! Is that a door over the Ikea CD racks? I have two that I am using for FQ storage; they work beautifully!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! What a "stash" you have! No wonder it's taken you a year to get unpacked and organized. I have the same Brother machine and love it :)
ReplyDeleteYes...now it's time to sew and create again :)
Hope your daughter will be OK.
I know it's crazy how much fabric I've collected over the years. That machine is wonderful isn't it. Thanks, my daughter is seeing some improvement.
Deletewow amazing. I wish I have all your fabric and storage:)
ReplyDeleteYour quilting area looks amazing! Yes, longarming is a word - I use it all the time, and if you are sewing, you have a valid excuse for not using the elliptical! Wish I lived as close to an IKEA as you obviously do - my sewing area would look so much nicer! Whoop whoop!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sewing studio. Love that table for your Brother sewing machine. Did you buy it and from whom?

ReplyDeleteThanks.....I just bought it from my local quilt shop....they also sell sewing machines. I was lucky the brother machine just happened to fit really well. I think Janome makes a very similar table.
DeleteThank you for visiting. I enjoyed your blogs.
