never enough orange!

Thank you for your words yesterday.  

Seems we all struggle at times, 

and hearing it from others helps to know we're not alone

 in overcoming our shortcomings.

On a happier note!

  We live in a small house.

  That's not the happier note, but 

I'm getting to it.  I always looked longingly

 at blogs whose seamstresses had their own

 space: spread out and make a mess, and don't vacuum

 threads, fold up patterns and tuck away fabric every night if 

you don't want to!  I didn't think that was a possibility for me,

 until a couple weeks ago Ryan suggested to turn the art room

 into a studio for me!  We had high hopes of the baby dills spending

 hours and hours creating away in that bright, beautiful, sunlit room.

  But if you're a mom, you know that the kids go wherever you are

...the shower, the water closet, hiding under a bed for some

 peace a quiet.  So, the transformation has begun.  The 

desk and table have been set up, and much 

sewing has already taken place, 

but now the fun begins:

Orange will preside, 

as I begin the decorating, 

and the adding of little touches.

As I complete my projects I will share 

tutorials on some fun little ways to add a 

personal touch to your sewing area, big or small.

  Of course you may choose the hue of your hankering,

but you'll be seeing an awful lot of orange around these

 parts.  If you come across something orange that might

 be calling my name, for Sam's sake, give me a holler!

  My hands have been at it with spray paint.  The 

untrained eye might mistake them for a

 botched tan-in-a-bottle job, 

but you and I know better.

  Much better.
