AHHHHHH.

My sewing machine is home.  My new chair was delivered.  My new sewing area was picked up and I got a chance to use it today.  Oh it feels so good.  My table doesn't shake, rattle and roll when I sew.  It's a smooooooth ride.  I'm waiting on one piece.  My custom cut machine insert so that my machine is flush with the table top.  That is to come by the end of the month. 

So?  Wanna see?

view from my doorway

Hello friend.  Happy to have you home again and playing nice.

My little pressing station

My notions table.  It will probably just hold the TV remote

what I'm working on... Swoon blocks and my postage stamp quit.

Just another view

There you have it.  My new "toy".  Of course my husband said to me that either Amelia is going to be an only child or she will have to share her bedroom because there was NO WAY he was moving that thing out of my sewing room.  HA.  Men.

Did you see the white rocker hanging around?  That is the one and only antique that I own.  I do not remember the exact circumstances as to why I asked my aunt for it but it's been with me since I was like 16.  It was my cousin's but it was living in my aunt's attic and maybe I felt I needed to rescue it??  I have no idea.  My cousin took her 1 year pictures in that rocking chair and she's going to be 42 this year.  The only thing my aunt asked of me when she gave me that chair was to not paint it.  Just leave it as is.  I cleaned it up with some soap and water when I first got it to get the grime and dust off it but that's it.  When my cousin had her little boy (who is now 14), I told her that I'm sorry but the rocker is mine and you're not getting back.  I've taken very good care of it.  Amelia has sat in it a time or two but I took it back.  I don't know why.  I have a strong connection to that little rocking chair.  Right now it's hold some fabrics for me.

Punk stayed home from school today because she was complaining of a belly ache when she awoke this morning and then she finally let it all go.  She's feeling better so I'm going to take this time to head back upstairs and finish my 4th Swoon block.

Enjoy your day!
Jen :)
