Morning Sunshine

It's Day 3 of my four day weekend. 

Yesterday after straighten up the house and baking some Carrot & Banana Cookies for the Pup, I spent the rest of the day cutting fabric for some new items for the shop.

This morning I noticed the sun streaming in through the window of my studio...

Around the Studio

Working on a new tote with a wonderful Italian Orange Linen...

Thread & Morning Sunshine

While drinking my coffee this morning, I was enjoying the quiet and the morning sunshine streaming through my studio.   Snapped a few photos of spools of Serger thread...

Studio Madness

It's that time of year.

I am catching up on Holiday orders so its been a bit quiet on the blog lately, or should I say, I have been a bit of a slacker with keeping up on my blogging.   Not only has the blog been neglected, but my Studio as well.

I usually pride myself in keeping my Studio fairly organzied, but during this time of year, not so much...

Bags in various stages of completion, straps, lining and etc just laying all about....What a mess.

I'll be back after the holidays, a few more orders to ship before DH and I head North for Christmas in a few days.

Have a wonderful holiday.

New Studio

So the new Studio is just about done, and I thought I would share a few photos...

 There are many more pictures of my new sunny Studio, which you can browse through here

New Studio

Last Tuesday when I brought home my new Juki and DH and I kept trying to find room for him in my Studio, DH said, why don't you switch rooms, take over the guest room since it's larger.

So Tuesday night I kept thinking about it and I think I also had dreams about it. I awoke Wednesday morning around 4:00am and I knew I had made the decision to do it!

 I had a four day weekend off, so I have turned my entire house upside down by moving my studio out and into the living room, dining room and kitchen.  Before moving the guest room furniture into my old space, I decided to painted the walls, (I'll post photos), one project breeds another one...

I am now in the midst of moving everything that is all over the house into my new space and reorganizing the new studio.  Although it's not done, I was admiring the morning sun shining through my TWO windows...and thought I would snap a photo...

Studio Extension

I have been ill for the pass few days and will be in bed bed for at least another week..sigh...And in that time I have watched a bunch of movies, hours of tv and way too many infomercials. Every now and then, I call the day job to see how things are going and stress a little more.

So, since I have a lot of time on my hands, I thought I would start catching up on my blogging since it doesn't appear that I will sewing any time soon, (thanks DH for getting me a laptop for Christmas). Speaking of sewing, last week I spent the whole weekend cutting fabric to make a bunch of messenger bags. I should have known that something was wrong as I was so fatigue while I was cutting.

A few weeks ago I took advantage of a deal offered by my fabric supplier and ended up with a large bolt of 10oz canvas. This large bolt presents a problem whenever I pull it out, which is that it is too large for my cutting table. So what's a girl to do, why use that large island in the kitchen of course!

It makes for a perfect cutting table, (probably to DH's dismal), it's smooth large surface can accommodate a large bolt of fabric. So I guess I have found my new studio extension.
