Blogging finally. I am enjoying a week of vacation at home. This is day 4, wow, it really goes quick. I started my time off on Thursday. My husband, myself and a young helper began the process of moving my sewing area out of the basement and up into my new sewing studio. Getting everything together is a process that is going to take a little while to complete, but once it is finished it will be fantastic.
My husband purchased cabinets at auction a year or so ago. They are from some kind of lab, so they are heavy duty metal with drawers. Right now they are an ugly grey, but eventually they will be a beautiful light blue with black countertops. We set up the cabinets in an "L" shape that is 9 feet by 14 feet with four workstations, one of which is double wide. I will probably put the embroidery machine in the double wide space. On the back wall, I have the Neechi (in cabinet) that I purchased last year and I have my mother's old Kenmore (in cabinet) that I brought to my house after my father passed away last year. I need to take it in to the shop for service, but I sewed quite a bit on that machine when I was in high school and my mother made a lot of clothes for us on it.
Our home is an old warehouse that we are almost finished converting into a home. It has been a couple long years of lots of construction, but in the end it will be worth it. There are old wooden beams that we left in place. (Actually Thursday started out with my husband giving the wooden beams one last sanding because they had some sheet rock mud on them.)
Tomorrow after I do some more straightening up and finish a sewing project, I will take some more photos to post.
