Coalie does your lovely sewing room have a view. Mine looks out to the boring old road but it is good to see the world going by? Your room (from those photos) looks like it is in an attic!

Hello again. A much more lively day today. I have been stitching and have mowed the lawns again. They grew so fast this week with the moisture and the warmth...now more moisture is on the way!
Gosh it was hot this morning...and now it is cooling down. I have little boys here for afternoon tea but will go back to my shed when they go off to rugby practise. You having fun?

jumbobon - 2013-04-18 15:41:00
42559

yes having fun Jumbo but no little boys here so not as much fun as you are having :)
Judy yes have views of hills and trees but have to stand to see them but the sky and the stars at night are lovely. Its a mezzanine floor it looks down on the kitchen / dining / lounge.
pork and vege soup for tea here cooking away in the crockpot mmmm still haven't lit the fire. Plenty for all :)

Right just before I sit here to watch the Sewing Bee I'll show you my workspace. It's the smallest bedroom in our house, was my daughter's (now living in Auckland) so I've taken it over. I swore I'd keep the bed uncluttered but had to have a major tidy up last weekend so as to get some order back in the room (and my head).

Pin tins - mine on the left and one I gave to my sister on the right. We are both quilters and the tins have quilters safety pins in them and ordinary pins on the top.

My goodness what a tidy sewing room Judy, I better tidy mine first before I will show any pics, it will take me days to tidy as its organised chaos in there.

skippie1 - 2013-04-18 18:13:00
42563

Oh look at all you peoples with sewing rooms, im so jealous...our office nook doubles as my sewing room... but i can shut the doors on it if its a mess lol...oh cool another sewing bee will watch it tomoro then finish sewing my top....cuppa time.

grizzvk - 2013-04-18 18:14:00
42564

Ha ha, it's only tidy because it was overwhelming me prior to last weekend. What happens to me is that I can't seem to work at or complete anything when my space is cluttered.

This also serves as my home office, so I also caught up on my filing.

Soooooo pious me, haha (see the icon I used)

yduj - 2013-04-18 18:19:00
42565

whoohoo Judy that is a shiny halo hehe
nice bright sewing / office room and tis a nice view. The pin cushion idea is clever, love the bag oooh and your mountain art quilt is looking stunning is it finished ? ( not being cheeky just it looks like it might be )

coalrange1 - 2013-04-18 18:56:00
42566

nooooo . . . it's not finished. The top half (two of the mountains) mostly is but the bottom isn't. It's the third mountain with the crater lake. I got restarted then stopped again. I'll get there one day. Darn it, that halo is now slipping!

yduj - 2013-04-18 20:11:00
42567

haha it only slipped when the tongue came out it was fine till then hahaha
well its looking finished so that's got to be a good thing, not too much to go.
ive been sewing, I undid some of one bag and changed it, it just wasn't right but happy with it now. Doc Who on soon, not enjoying it as much as the last doc :(
will find some snupper

Good evening everyone. I have been writing 200 lines ..."I do not need any more fabric" ....... Went to get one fat quarter today for my Christmas crumb quilt and came out $60 poorer but much richer in fabric lol.... There was a piece I just could not leave behind and a fat quarter was not going to satisfy so bought a metre. And then, since I had already overspent, I thought what the heck and bought another metre of another lovely piece ... I did get the fat quarter I went in for though.

Just read backwards to see what everyone is up to ... Judy I love your sewing space. So tidy. You have a great view ....my sewing table is by a window too and I can watch the world go by as I sew. And I also love your tote bag .... Purple is my favourite colour :)
I should be sleeping .... Have to catch a plane at 7am so will have to be up and dressed by 6am which is when the taxi arrives. I hate flying so my tummy is in knots already. Will arrive home about 8pm tomorrow so it's a long day ahead of me.

Good morning you lot, I've just been tippy toeing around Coalie's and Judy's craft havens... quietly snooping LOL. Lovely but both much too tidy, surely they're not like that all of the time (I hope)???... have you not heard that "creative minds are seldom tidy"? Thats my excuse, and I'm sticking to it LOL! Thank you for sharing! Hope you don't miss your tote bag Judy, but I couldn't resist... tis my colouring hehe. Right time to do a little sewing I think... curtains for my bro... I'm such a good lil sis ;-)

Morning all. You beat me up Iviolets. I am normally still snoring at this time. The two cats and dog are so excited to see someone up and are playing chasing through the house. They sound like elephants on the wooden floors. Just as well Mum is deaf although I will take her a cuppa soon as she wanted to be woken before I left. Happy sewing everyone.

Hello. I am at Wellington Airport with another 2 hours before my flight. Can't sew so will look for a spot where I can watch the sewing bee. Don't have headphones so need to find a quiet corner somewhere. Airports can be boring when you have so much time to fill

barbrose - 2013-04-19 17:08:00

Barb nothing more boring then sitting in an airport. Have fun watching the sewing bee.

Well what a lovely day I have had. Skippie came and had a cuppa this morning and then we went into town where I bought two magazines, a metre of fabric for making bags, some machine oil in a long necked squeeze container and some short pins. Had soup and toast for lunch...made the soup yesterday with a chicken carcass...and have made five scrappy house blocks. Took the boys out for a celebratory start of the holidays shopping trip and had a ball! Just waiting for tea to finish cooking now. Won't be long. Are you safely home bar?

jumbobon - 2013-04-19 19:18:00

Been home 10 mins and having a long overdue coffee. I swear that plane was piloted by a school boy! I looked for flying undies but it was dark and I missed them.

barbrose - 2013-04-19 20:09:00
42594

Oops...I thought you were shit scared and were looking for undies! Then I remembered flying bloomers...

Ooh...thank you coalie. Grumbling has eased but snoring from him next to me continues. Fortunately the cat doesn't seem to notice. She is stretched out right beside me, fast asleep. I should get up, or could get up, but feeling too lazy bones!
