What a difference a day can make!

My two Helpers, my son Max and my niece Samantha, and  I got a lot of stuff done. The sewing area is set up because I have orders coming in! (Yikes!) So much more to do, but tomorrow is a dump run day.

but we got some great pictures today!
so here are some before and after:

Before

After! Like my disco Ball?

My big machine is all set up and ready to go, all the other smaller machines are scattered around, and the shelves with all my folded fabrics. that is maybe 1/3 of the fabric. sheesh, a lot will be hung in the storeroom.

getting cleaned up and organized. we are going to have a resident pet rat foe a while, Mocha.

And Max took some time to take some artsy photos

in the soon to be "courtyard" with a view,

with props

my best sewing machine, a close up of the foot.

and my old singer. I have about 6 or 7 machines, but i will mostly just the juki, a newer singer and a even newer singer that is an embroidery machine.

Next: More painting and more setting up.

thanks for reading my blog!

We are Here!

Hello again!
We have finally made the move and now the work on the shop can begin with gusto! or maybe after i take another nap..
Right now the shop is full of everything ive been carrying around and adding to my stock of stuff, fabric, machines thread, trims and in the last year things i think might be good deco items for the shop.

Now the real work will begin! Ive got 2 helpers for 2 days and then one helper for a big chunk of the summer. I hope now that we are here and there are many hands to make lighter work, I think the shop will begin to materialize.
here are some progress photos I took when i was here working on the shop last:

Base coat of paint almost done, so now we can start the deco! In the meantime we have to work around all of the additional furniture and machines.

the storage room is getting full

This is supposed to look like a sewing room, but it dosent-yet!

More and more and more stuff!

maybe in a week or two I can think! and Hopefully there will be more progress soon.
