back to sewing

This past weekend, the girls and I worked on some serious organization. It looks like we're still with my parents for a bit (no suprises there). In light of that, I decided that our downstairs living space needed to be a bit more functional. The girls and I share a "crafting" table. So far, they have been the only ones to use it. They have covered it in their painting, stamping and coloring. They have taken over the space. I haven't sewn in months. This weekend, I changed that. I organized all of their artisitic items. Once I use some of my fabric, I will be better able to organize the rest of their stuff.

With our current living situation, I spend a large amount of time in my bedroom, especially after the girls have gone to bed or during times when they are not home. I decided last weekend that I wanted a comfy-er looking and feeling bed. Since its just the girls and I, I'm in this very girl-y place (I'm sure i've mentioned that before). Yesterday, I used more of my poppy fabric and made two more pillow cases. I am really pleased with how well they turned out. They were a great easy project to get back into sewing. I need to make the girls graduation dresses for their preschool graduation in a few weeks.

My next large-ish purchases will be a rug for the girls play area in the downstairs living area and hopefully a better colored rug for my room. Next up on the agenda, organize the stuff in my closet.
