Hitting the Blocks

A few weeks ago I walked into our office/sewing room and just stood there, completely at a loss where to start cleaning/organizing/attacking the mess it had become.

So I sent out an SOS to my mother, who excels at this reorganization sort of thing, and last week we redid the room.

This is a built-in desk we made. My DH had been begging for more table space (for more space in general–previously he was the one stuck in the corner), so the section that juts out into the room is now his, as is the computer by the door. I rather like being in the corner, so that is now my computer space.



Right beside my writing space is my quilting corner. My really high quality fabrics are displayed on the shelves, my medium quality (Nice Jo-Ann’s and Hancocks) are tucked in the corner next to it, and my low quality (Wal-Mart) stuff is hidden in the cabinets above the craft armoire.



Even my fat quarters have a nice little home now!









I found this huge computer table at a garage sale for $10. My sewing machine fits oh-so-nicely on the drop-down keyboard tray, giving me an almost flush sewing surface, and the additional 3 feet of table space to the left of the machine will be lovely when doing larger quilts. All my other sewing fabrics are in those boxes above the window.

And I even have a design wall (almost a 5′ x 7′)!






The only drawback is this whole deal is that we lost a bit of storage space, but what we have now is so much more useful and accessible. I love it! (Thanks Mom!)
