My Hobby/Sewing room Update

I have everything back in my room and thought that I would share a few photos of how it is coming together. I still have a few things that need to find a home but I can actually work in there and thoroughly enjoy the time.

This is the view as you walk into the room from the hallway...

I have two crafting tables set up in an "L" formation and the one in the center of the picture can be opened up to extend the work surface about another 30 inches. I use that table mostly for cutting things out for sewing or quilting. It has drawers on the backside and a cabinet on the side facing the other table. I keep my basic craft items in there - drawing pencils, paint, craft glue, etc... The blue thing hanging on the wall holds measuring tapes, rotary cutters, seam ripers... basically sewing notions. The file cabinet at the back contains my costume patterns, men's clothing patterns, and home decor patterns. On top is the antique radio that Scott restored for me... yes it actually plays... AM only. The basket on top of the radio contains pin cushions and needle cases that I have received in swaps with my online quilting friends.

The shelving unit holds my quilting cottons ( I won't go too much into fabric as then we would have to mention the 25+ containers in the bonus room and we aren't going there today). On the top shelf is my "kitty" collection as well as the little dog I've had since I was a baby.

Now if you walk in and turn around by the sewing table you can see where I work on my paper crafting projects...

You can see the items that still need homes on the floor and I am hoping to find another old wooden stereo cabinet like the one I've re-purposed from our front room. I have supplies in that cabinet and the 12x12 Iris cases fit perfect in the holes where albums used to go. I'm also keeping my eyes open for old wooden crates to hang and house my rubber stamps. The wooden box on the floor next to the stereo cabinet (below the blue box) is a CD holder and will house my clear rubber stamps as soon as I get some empty CD cases to put them in. On the other side of the cabinet are some of my old pictures that I need to organize and put in file boxes until I can get them in scrapbooks. This area is a work in progress.

I'll share the "sewing side" another day as right now the sun is shining so brightly that pictures I take look totally washed out - perhaps I will do a video tour or tours of each side of the room.
