This post isn't just from the sewing room. It is my sewing room!
It is clean and organized. Because of this, the door is open and you can come right in!!!
better hurry... I'm not sure how long it will stay this way
this is the view upon entering
my work area
one view from my machine
looking out the windows
My husband surprised
me with this hutch one year as a birthday gift... he's so good :)
The photo on the left was taken yesterday before I added additional
baskets. Personally, I think more is better...
The baskets are from Ikea and a steal at $5.99.
Go get some, they're great for organizing!
I have a thing for vintage labels...
Close ups...

| Love jars filled with white buttons, pincushion (pin head) designed by me, my daughter made the white sock elephant which I love and will never part with! They are all sitting next to a vintage sewing machine given to me by a kindred seamstress at a yard sale... |

| current project, it has something to do with the gray dining room... more on that later |
Being surrounded by things I love whether it's aesthetic or has a good memory attached,
makes me feel good.
Having it all clean and organized after a long season
of shows (see our Worthy Goods blog) well, it's heavenly!
Thanks for coming along on the tour!

Your very own sewing room? I am green with envy. Actually, a shade beyond green!!
This is totally gorgeous.
I agree - more baskets looks better.
Mom, it looks so good! I've seen your sewing room go through a lot of transformations over the years, but this is the best :)
Laurie,
It looks so nice!!! Mine really needs help! In fact, I have Mr. T & T helping w/ that right now....while I'm *cough* working......;) Your prettiness distracted me :)
btw, love your new booth at Monticello....that etiquette book is too funny!

Your sewing room looks so pretty and calm. Love the tall chest of drawers and all the pretty pin cusions. (especially the one made from a meat grinder! so clever).

I totally agree that there's nothing better than snuggling in bed with a good book!
It makes me feel all cosy just thinking aboutit!!
I hope you're having a lovely Sunday,

What a nice room to sew in...
Looks great!
I also love white buttons in jars. My father in law collected mother of pearl buttons in large jars sorted by size. I'll never forget when I first saw them lined up on shelves. Years ago he gave them to me and they are in my studio. I'm selling them slowly but I'll always keep some for myself.
I have big plans for my kid's room when they move out....uh huh
Hope you have a great week
Hugs
