a craft room.

happy, happy, happy.

I have my first sewing class in here on Sunday
and I am so very excited. My local friends are
my Scarf Along guinea pigs.
Wish them luck!
All weekend I have been holed up in
here unpacking and organizing.
There is a lot to do, but it has been really fun
I have never had all of my fabric in the same place.
Ummm....
can you say a bit much?
Stacks and stacks of happiness.

Thanks so much to all of you who bought water
yesterday and plan on continuing to by water this season.
Mel shared with me two videos from The Advent Conspiracy that really checked my heart and solidified how I am going to look at this consumer driven Christmas in a whole new way.
I dare you to watch them.
You will be changed.

Speaking of Mel,
I know the winner of their own batch of custom cards.

Is it you?

Mel has generously decided to buy $10 worth of water for each card she designs.
Why don't you save lives while you get AMAZING cards made?

Thanks Mel.
Your heart is so generous.

Happy day my friends.

  6. Can I just say your stacks of fabric really are a big of happiness. That is exactly what I think of every stack of fabric I see. wish I had as many as you. But, that is okay. Someday. Yours look like stacks of BEAUTIFUL fabric too. Even better. Love it. Enjoy your new craft room. There is nothing better then a bit of craft space. :)

  8. My kitties would love to come over and play in all that fabric. They'd have it strewn all over the floor into a big pile in no time. Then they'd curl up and take a nice long cozy nap on top of it all. While they shed profusely. Especially the long-haired black kitty. Because that's what Jemima panther princesses do.

    I guess it's a good thing I don't have a nice big craft room with built-in shelving and am forced to store all my fabric in plastic Rubbermaid bins stacked up precariously all over my dining room and living room. And entryway. And bedroom.

    Yup. I'M the lucky one. You only thought it was you.

    *pouts*



    No, for realz, I'm just kidding. I'm seething with jealousy but I am totally kidding! :-D

    And guess who has an email link on their profile now? Yup. The girl without a craft room!

  18. I need to see more of your craft room.
    And I'm super jealous.
    I about died when I saw the stacks of beautiful fabric.
    My small stack of yummy fabric is stored in a bag.
    I have no place for it. sad.

    Wish I lived in california so I could come to your sewing class!!

  19. WOW that looks fabulous! My dream is to actually have built in shelves so my fabric can ALL be in the same place!! Or perhaps my own actual sewing room instead of having to share it with the kids toy room!!
    Enjoy it, you are soooo lucky :)

  22. You make me want to re-fold all my fabric and redo my office! :) Do you have a big table for your sewing classes? Such a great idea. Thanks for sharing your space!

  23. Coming out of lurkdom to say that this is the first time in over 5 years that I wished I still lived in the OC... so I could come to your sewing class. I love your stacks of fabric and I'm sure the class will be super fun!

  24. Thank you for posting the link to Mel's page with the videos. A few years ago my family went to drawing one name and giving the rest of the money we would spend on eachother to those who really need it. It has been the best thing! We really can make a difference in the world!
