Oh I can't hold it in any longer!

I wanted to show you one of those pretty "After" shots.  You know the kind.  Everything that's all in its place and organized.  Ummm, unless you want to wait a week to hear about my secret.

Here I go.

Just keeping it real, Folks.  Just keeping it real.

So???  Did you figure out what I got yet??!  Here's the room while I was waiting, for comparison purposes; just in case you don't see it.


One of these days I will organize myself on these shelves

Do you see it now?!  Yes!!  Buried under all my sewing room "treasures" is a Koala Sewing cabinet!  OOOOOOO YAHHHHHHH.  I bought the QuiltMate Pro IV with the outback extension table.  Delivered yesterday and I am SO EXCITED to get creative again.  But at the moment, I am putting the room back together.  I have stuff in the hallway, stuff in Amelia's bedroom and everything else in my bedroom.  I'm having heart palpitations with all the stuff all over.  Tonight, Chris is going to attach the mini pressing and notion tables and I will be organizing myself.  In a couple of weeks, I'll be getting a few more shelves for the cabinet.  I wasn't sure if I would need them and now that I see the table and figuring where things are going to go, they will come in handy.

I can't get sewing yet after I'm all organized and put away though.  I took this opportunity to bring my machine in for its cleaning and to get my self threader fixed.  And I'm waiting for a new chair.  While I have a perfectly good chair, it's not tall enough and I knew that.  Just didn't feel like spending the money until the table got here.  The whole unit is 35" tall so that I'm not hunched over when I'm cutting.  But that means my sewing machine is at 35" tall and I don't stand when I sew.

I promise to show you better pictures when everything is in its place.  I just couldn't wait to show you any longer!

Oh!  And Amelia lost another tooth last night.  2 Tooth Fairy visits in less than a week.  Of course, I wasn't prepared!  Thankfully Chris was home and he hooked her up with $2.00.



I'm sorry for the weird looking pictures.  If Amelia smiles, her bottom lip covers her teeth and you can't see her new Jack-O-Lantern smile.  :)

Enjoy your day!
Jen

  16. Sweet! Is it the kind that will lift your machine up and down (do they all do that?)? It'll be nice to not be hunched over. I have that issue too. Amelia is really raking in the moolah! She's such a cute kid!
