Sewing Area

So I don't have the luxury of having my own room for sewing anymore since I keep having babies :) This would be the third time we have relocated me to a different spot in the same house not to mention the numerous times we have re arranged furniture to try to make it more efficient for me. Now I am in the living room since it is the largest room in the house and could easily be split into 2 sections.

My favorite part is looking at the pretty fabric in my hutch and thats just cottons :)



Though the best part is this reason below. I love being in the same room with my kids :) Though the youngest has now fiqured out how to climb up the back of the couch onto my table.

giving blogging a try

Who knows if i can keep up with another online account, but I am going to give this a try as well. At least while I have a little time before our new addition, Madeline gets here. Sew Together, that's kinda funny I think, sometimes on the outside looking in it looks together while actually in the inside I am unravelling at the seams. Placing more on my plate than needed and the constant need to make everyone around me happy and not having the ability to say no to projects and commitments.
Sewing is the only peace I feel sometimes when I sit down and just create something. The year before last I turned my hobby into a job so I could afford my hobby, fabric is not cheap!!! & I have a lot!!!! Last year was a really good year for me I finally made it into the black!!! But i noticed I really didn't make anything for me or my family and that made me sad, also I hadn't made a single quilt, and that is what I love to do. So this year I have decided to continue my business, but just on a much smaller scale and to sew more for me and my enjoyment. Who know how it will go. I have heard that if you want to hear God laugh, Tell Him your plans. I know he has been laughing a lot here lately :)
