Geneva, what fun spending time with your beautiful granddaughter.

While some were enjoying the weekend seeing the quilts and shopping in Houston or spending time with family, I was spending my time organizing my attic sewing room in my country home. It was to the point that I could no longer enjoy working in it, plus I moved another carload of stuff there so now almost everything sewing related is at the same place. I no longer have to look for thread charts as they have been found and most of my storage is on open shelves or in clear bins. All of my ribbons from the last 12 years have finally found a home. This attic space was originally going to be a large storage room for supplies that didn't get used often, but my DH added length and width to the carport underneath and I ended up with enough space for a large room. It will never be as picture perfect as the original room that was going to be at the other side of the house and is now a guest bedroom instead, but I like the fact that everything is together and easy to see without having to do a lot of searching. The down side to having everything easy to see is all of the projects that are started and not finished distract me to the point that I don't know which one to work on next, after my grandson's quilt that is which I hope to do next weekend.



This is my main work area. The cutting table is actually useable. I'm still debating on the best cutting mat to purchase as this one is quite worn and not completely flat. I'm in the process of making a big board for my ironing board. My goal now is to finish 1 project at a time so I won't end up with a cluttered mess again. We'll see how long that lasts!

Wow look at all those ribbons! Your room is looking very organized.

What a beautiful space you have for creating...and so very organized now.

Hey good news for me! We are grandparents for a third time! Our Bridget and Jeff had a little boy to join big sister Caitlin. I missed going to Houston but what a prize. When Caitlin came to see him for the first time one of the nurses gave her a graham cracker and she promptly broke off a teeny little piece to share with him.

Thank you Dorothy! It's fun to see our little population explosion here on the forum.

Congratulations, Karen. Your daughter is beautiful and looks so relaxed with her children. The children are so cute. I'll bet you'll never see or look at a graham cracker without thinking of this precious beginning! Best wishes!
