Friday Night Sew In! What a week!

Yesterday was my last day at my job at Eaton Metal.  I worked very hard to get everything done and the people who were going to be doing things I used to do trained.  I was working all the way up until the end of the work day at 4:45...I was a little bit sad but I can't wait to get started at my new job.  My boss at Eaton was great and I wish I could have taken her with me!  She even wrote me a really nice email saying that she would be a reference for me if I ever needed it!  But with every ending comes a new beginning and I start with Kaiser on Monday.

I have been busy busy in my sewing room!  Last weekend I moved most of my sewing stuff upstairs.  We had a guest room that we had only had one guest in the two years we've lived here.   I decided last week to move everything upstairs and take advantage of a room with a door and the wonderful light that comes from the window.  Part of me was holding off doing this because I thought we'd have a baby soon but God's timing is perfect and we'll get there when He has it planned for us :)

Last weekend we bought a grill and while we were at Home Dep*t, we got some peg board to put up in the sewing room.  We didn't get it put up until during the week but I spent a lot of time in there organizing (which is one of my very favorite activities!).  I still need to clean out the little closet that is in there but I have a bunch of craft stuff in storage in the basement that I want to bring up and put in there.....we're hoping to do that tomorrow.

So in the mean time here are some pictures of things I got done in the sewing room this week :)

One corner of a small room- I found the 

shelf at a garage sale last year.

Here's another corner- I have a shelf in there with lots of stuff on it.  I need to figure out some better storage options for current projects, my ironing board and folding table.  I'm thinking that once I get the closet situated I'll know better about how to do that :)

Here's the table with my sewing machine on it and the peg board above.  I used the same things that I've seen used in garages to store tools and so far it's working out great.  I've got a plastic storage box under the futon with all of my fabric stash and a separate container with fusible fleece to make purses.

I also made a purse for a woman I work with.  It was a L*zy Girl Designs pattern and it's the same as the one I made last weekend but with color.  I was pretty happy with how it turned out :)

I got out and about today and found a quilt shop in Broomfield called Tomorrow's Heirlooms.   Unfortunately they were going out of business but I did find some cute fabrics!  I'll be making some more bags soon :)
