Sewing Again!

Hey everyone, I'm finally sewing again. Not quilting just yet, but stitching up things for our new home.

Buying and moving 75 miles away, then updating and selling our old house has taken up all my time. Especially when we've done nearly everything ourselves. Two 70+ year old coots can still get things done and even learn new skills! 

My sewing room was the first room we finished at the new place...priorities, you know. I took the master bedroom with walk-in closet since it was larger. His basement hobby space/workshop/den was second on our list. We are slowly settling in, tired but happy. 

This weekend I added my last new piece: a custom ironing table. The Harbor Freight cart was Jerold's idea--he had an extra one. We painted it, added a plywood top and stapled on a repurposed moving blanket for padding. I sewed the removable cover and it's ready to go. An added bonus: the two baskets underneath were formerly used for laundry, but they fit the cart perfectly to hold my unsorted scraps. Ta-da!

Hopefully soon I'll get back to quilting and posting. Till then, here's a few pics of my new space.
