A Place Of My Own

A couple years ago we moved into this house, which is much bigger than the house we lived in before. But even with more rooms and more space, I couldn't figure out a place to set up an area of my own. A place to sew and keep my stuff and just do whatever. I'm pretty easy going and mostly I got over it, but sometimes when I started thinking about it a lot I got pretty annoyed. Every time I wanted to sew it was such an ordeal because the dining room table was it. Chris and I would talk about it once in awhile and try to figure something out, but nothing ever came of it.


Well I'm happy to report that finally we figured out where I can have a work space in the family room. Chris rearranged some stuff and started setting it up for me, and even though there's still a lot to do, my area is now usable. Hooray!


I already made my first project. I wanted a little pouch to keep my sewing scissors in and other little things that I use often. I found directions online for exactly what I had in mind, made a pattern, and got down to business. I'm pretty much a learn as I go kind of girl when it comes to sewing, and my technique has a lot of room for improvement. I somehow missed an important step in the directions (duh! moment) and had to remove some stitches, but I still finished in one night. I'm really happy with how it came out. I can't wait to try something else! Now we're in the midst of re-arranging kid bedrooms and trying to get some things organized, but I'll be thinking of what my next project will be...
