Sewing Room!

WOW! Things were coming along really Great! I finally do not have a Garage anymore and I now have a new door and windows!!! The New Sewing Room is closed and everything was pulled out. Tralyn and Carter came to visit with me for a week! She was an Amazing Help! I would never have gotten done what is done without her! I LOVE YOU NUGGIE! Thank You!


All the boxes were taken out of the cabinets, shelves and drawers. Tralyn washed and scrubbed all of the cabinets, shelves and drawers! They were so used to being full of tools, electircial, fishing and all kinds of men stuff now it is time to pamper it up and make it feel and look like it should be! A SEWING ROOM!!!! With 39 cabinets and 18 drawers, this is a Sewing Woman's Dream! My Dream! 25 years in the making!!! I would be almost finished right now but I fell sick last week and I don't see myself getting better in the next few days, so I am taking my time out to rest and catch up on computer stuff and of course, handsewing! I will be doing a little at a time due to my being short of breathe. I pulled out a few pieces I need to finish smocking and I am getting ready to set up a few things on my memory card to embroidery some baby burp cloths, bibs and work on a last minute layette set for my new Grandson due within the next three weeks!!! Man talk about last minute! That's me!

The Sewing Room!

The New Sewing Room is well on it's way! I have about 20 more boxes to go through that were taken out of the garage, then the next step is to pull everything out of the cabinets & finish taking the rest of the things out of the drawers, go through them and the garage doors can come down & the walls, door & windows can be put up!! I am SO EXCITED!!! The floors are all designed out, the paints & stains are all purchased! The lady came over to look at the floors & I told her what I wanted & she is ready to get on it as soon as we are ready! I purchased a BEAUTIFUL door & of course it has a Fleur de lis in the glass area!
The carpenter said the fastest way to get things done was for him to pull everything down & put the walls up for the Air Conditioner to be installed & then it will be easier for me to go through everything and I won't be in the heat! I guess that is the way it will be done! Now I have to wait for him to finish the job he is on to start on my walls!!! Today I am going look at windows to purchase the ones I need for when he is ready to get started!! The excitement is almost overwhelming, I am like a kid in a Candy Store!! I don't know what I want to do 1st!!
I do know I also have to look at some cabinets to design my sewing area! I know what I want I just need to go take some measurements then get to Lowe's & Home Depot to check out & see what they have to offer me!! After this is all completed, I will be looking at some new livingroom furniture to move my livingroom into the sitting room & make the livingroom I have now My Sitting Room, something like a Sit & Sew! This of course will only be for hand sewing as my sewing room will be were all my creation will come to life! I am thinking about purchasing rockers or gliders to put into my sewing room to do my hand sewing or just to sit there and rock my babies!!!!
LORD, please if it is YOUR WILL, let my sewing room be completed before Thanksgiving 2011!!!!
I pray this in the Name of YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST! AMEN!!!

Phoebe's Sketches!

Phoebe's designs & sketchings are getting better each time she puts a pencil to the drawing board or sketch pad! I am so amazed at the different designs she is coming up with! On one outfit she designed she even sketched out the boots with fringes having off of them! WOW! She is into the asseccories also! I am so Proud of her!!

Passing it down!

I had my granddaughter here with me and she asked me for a coloring book and colors. I told her, "You limit your Creativity when you use a coloring book and colors!" I gave her a BLANK sketch pad and a pencil, "Now you have a Blank Canvas, see what comes to your mind!" I am Absolutely Amazed at 11 years old what this child put down on paper. She sketched some AWESOME DESIGNS!!! I have a binder in which I keep her designs in, this way she can look back on what she has designed and maybe one day I will help her to make the outfit. We picked out some crazy fabric to make her an apron. Not those boring aprons that the Home Ec. teachers make you make in Jr. High and High School. By the time Phoebe gets into Home Ec. the teacher will definetely be impressed and wonder where she is getting her lessons from. Then she can proudly say, "My Me-Me put a needle and thread into my hands at the young age of 8 years old." You see I first put a needle and thread into her hands at 8 years old beginning with the plastic needle, crochet thread and gave her a piece of plastic canvas to help her learn without the danger of possibly being stuck with a metal needle.
I am so anxious for my sewing room to be finished for her and I to get in there to just play all day long!!! And when I say PLAY, this means sewing all day long. This is my LOVE, my PASSION! It's what GOD gave me and I am so excited to share it with people, especially Phoebe!!!!!
I LOVE YOU MY BABY GIRL!!!!
