Has Anyone Seen My Sewing Machine?

-5395

I haven't seen it in about a week. With a house guest and then a new Treadmill. The office/sewing room has been overtaken.  The treadmill ended up being a bit bigger then I expected. So we modified the desk. WE as in Brett cut off 20 inches and then put it back together. It looks great. I will show you when I can actual see the desk :) Now I am cleaning out the closet and trying to organize all of my fabric, wip's, yarn, ect.  You always have to make a bigger mess before it is clean, right?

My hope is to have this organized enough by this evening that I will not be embarrassed for the In-laws to see the office tonight :) Wish me luck!

I know you have been very busy these past few months. We watch you from our windows as you bury your treasures.
We would like to make you a deal. If you could please come closer to the door so that we could see you a little better...Colin thinks you are a kitty. We in return will help you bury your acorns. As it seems you are running out of time and are just throwing them anywhere and everywhere. If you agree to these terms simply reply by standing in front of the sliding glass door for Colin.

Anxiously waiting,
Elizabeth & Colin

Being Productive

Sorry for the bad picture it's from my cell phone, batteries are dead in the camera.

This is the best I could do...in case you couldn't tell it's an airplane in the clouds :)

I have been drawing airplanes for days and this is the end result. One thing I have learned is that practice does not make perfect but it does make acceptable :)
