Cleaning out the sewing room... well sorta

I look at all I put in the sewing room and wonder WHY is it all in there...then I remember...a a a a a
I am supposed to do something with it...
So I pulled out this little chair that has been under bench covered up with stuff. It was nasty looking. My sis in law was going to throw it away and I latched on to it. I has a few tears and was missing a cushion...well YEARS later I have finally fixed it....need to dig out a before shot. I think I have one somewhere

this is one of those child sized chairs. Some of the grandkids are still small enough to sit in it. 

DECEMBER ATLAST!

Tis the season to catch the flu, fa la la la la la la la la
        Whenever anyone asks me "have you had your flu shot yet?" I simply tell them NO, I CAUGHT THE STINKIN STUFF WITHOUT IT!".  There I have that off my chest. I am now in my 3RD MONTH of feeling like death warmed over. This latest has not knocked the props out and I can function but I would just as soon not have it at all.  My hubby and the Brat have had it too... so much fun NOT!
     Been working on designs and even got a few done but OH MY this one set has given me a royal headache. So many changes and fixes and after stitching the set myself I see a few little things I need to check.  I love them too much to NOT keep on them till they are near perfect.  Each design in the set takes 3 hours to stitch on the slowest speed. This barring thread breaks or being called away from the machine.  But I did them all in less then a week.  I had my other machine going doing some things I needed and worked on cleaning my sewing room so it was not wasted time sitting there watching... though I do like to do that.  It is neat to watch the pictures take form in front of your eyes. I did them on Olive fabric so that I could make a dress border out of it. The dress is just finished and I have not photographed them yet, but I will .  here is an example of some of them...

Now if I can just get all my sewing done...yeah right, sure. LOL  But atleast I got my Christmas shopping done and most wrapped...
