Sewing to follow... eventually

Has anyone ever seen The Money Pit? Everything in their house is supposed to be done in "two weeks". Well that's how I feel. We have made progress in that we are all moved into the new house. However, the boxes have exploded everywhere. I am picturing the many projects I will make in my new sewing room. I think it will be ready to go in "two weeks".

As an incentive to complete the unpacking and organizing in the sewing room, the hubby has offered a large reward. A dress form! I have considered the duct tape dress form but I have yet to see one that comes out right (no offense to anyone has one). The thrifty side of me has also looked at the less expensive singer and dritz models but the reviews on them are horrible.

So a question: If you are so lucky to have one, what kind of dress form do you use? How do you like it?

Missing you...

Wow, it's probably been about two week since I've even signed in. I've been totally swamped with the new house. I never knew how much busy work goes into purchasing a new home. We close tomorrow... yeah!! My new sewing room is getting some fresh paint and flooring and then I can move the Bernina and everything that goes with it in.

Thank you all for your very kind words. I'm not only missing the actual sewing but I'm missing being able to share it with all of you! My last two issues of Burda are sitting by my bed, hardly even opened. Usually I've bought atleast two pieces of material per issue by now!

So I can't wait until things get back to "normal"... hopefully by the New Year I'll have a new home with a fresh new sewing room and projects to share! If I don't get logged in again by then, Happy Holidays to everyone!

New house!!

So we made an offer on the house... and got it! It's going to have my own sewing room! And it's going to be almost twice the size of our current location. The idea is to start a family within the next year or so. We are very excited! We close in the middle of December. In the mean time we've been packing and getting rid of extra clutter we don't need. Hopefully I can get some sewing in and write a couple of posts. Hang in there with me...
