Judy and I have separated and are going our own ways. I begged her to stay but she told me that her quilting frame was of more use at her house than at mine. I disagree because I find it very useful at mine ;-)
So, I suddenly found lots of space that was crying out to stay clean and tidy but that's not what's going to happen! My frame is now where Judy's was and my sewing machine has been moved to where my frame was. At this point it was lovely and tidy and spacious and I decided to set up my machine properly which involved me giving it a good clean. I love my Brother sewing machine but getting the bobbin case back in the right spot once you remove it is an absolute nightmare! It really needed a good clean out though. My friend Annie is probably gasping in shock at this fluff I found! And yes, it took me about an hour and a billion attempts to get the bobbin case back in and working correctly grrr!
Well then I decided that I now had enough room in the sewing room, after moving my sewing machine, to add a second area for either cutting or pressing. I've seen some IKEA hack cutting stations so I'm going to use the Kallax units I already have to make one. This involves emptying everything, rearranging and then tidying it all back up again before I can even think about making the IKEA hack unit.
This is where I'm up to. I think it's going to take quite a bit of time. I'm exhausted and over it already! I have so much stuff I doubt I'll ever use again! Why do I hang on to it all? I was very good and started a throw away pile and a take to charity pile. They grew quite large and then I made the mistake of looking at them thinking some things might be useful one day...
Jill is coming over tomorrow to put the last border on her alien quilt so I'll have a bit of a rest and then go back and attempt to clear a pathway for her so she can get to the sewing machine at least.
Whatever was I thinking???
