Furniture

Check it off the list! We bought our living room furniture tonight! We ended up with a sweet darkish leather sectional. Now to look for a coffee table and a cool rug.

Oh, and remember this chair?

It will be in my house in 3-6 weeks! :)

Sewing Studio Thoughts

I've been sick the last few days... fever, sore throat, congestion, no appetite... blah. Test negative for Flu and Step (that's a relief), dr. thinks it is just a virus.

So between naps and gatorade sips I have been thinking about my new sewing studio. My dear sister helped me paint both spare rooms last weekend (see pics in previous post). Now my cutting table, sewing machine desk, and bookcase have been moved into my Sewing Studio (don't you just love that name?)

So I have been thinking about all the ways to store the fabric I have. I am thinking that I am going to go with the comic book cardboard technique...

Don't ya just love this? Little mini bolts! Some have been homemade out of cardboard, and others have used comic book cardboard inserts. I think they are like $9.00 for 100 inserts, seems like a seriously good deal for all that organization!

Fall Back

Thank goodness for that extra hour of sleep. That was awesome! :)

We've been busy today. Found a great pizza place less than 1.5 miles from the house, checked on our furniture (came home to do more measurements) and bought some "home" things at Target.

When I got home it was so dreary and yucky that I decided I would scoot to the grocery store (less than a mile) and picked up some goodies.

I ended up making Chili for dinner with grilled cheese sandwiches (yum yum)


And these cutie pies ;) Mini pumpkin pies made in a mini muffin pan! I was able to make 4 dozen out of one recipe!
