It's Been Sew Long . . .

I have been hankering to have some alone time with this machine for awhile now, but other things kept getting in the way! One very major obstruction was that my husband's hobbies were taking over our shared hobby room! My little sewing corner was being suffocated by all manner of guy stuff!  Finally, after trying to stand my ground and protect my corner, I decided it would be more productive to actually work on sewing projects with what little time I have for that sort of thing, instead of wasting those precious minutes defending my space!

Thus, I have temporarily set up camp on the dining room table! And guess what? I actually got a bunch of sewing done! The mending pile was first, then some fun stuff I've been wanting to work on. I'm excited to work on more things and learn a little more about sewing. I'm very thankful that my Mom taught me how to use a sewing machine while I was growing up, but I definitely need to brush up on my skills and learn a bit more. My in-laws bought me my beautiful machine a few Christmases ago, and I absolutely love it!

The plan is to set up a sewing area in a corner of our large attic bedroom, but I'll probably always tote what I'm working on downstairs to the dining room table. At least for now, I've gotten out of that claustrophobic "man room" and I'm sewing once again! :)
