The sewing room. Dear me, the sewing room. I could probably have one month dedicated to the sewing room, and STILL not get any sewing done. But since I NEED to get some sewing done (I need a new purse--literally, the handles are almost completely shredded on my current one), I need to get this room clean.
Full disclosure: some of this stuff was just thrown in the sewing room to making my living room clean from the day before. My house is like a constant re-arranging of stuff. This needs to stop. On the plus side, I did throw away two things today when I decided that they outlasted their novelty/usefulness. It was a hard decision, but it's definitely for the best!
But what sort of mess did it look like before? First, let's look at the table...
There's actually a sewing machine on this table. Plus the cover for the sewing machine. I know you don't believe me, but there is! That pink quilt was on my bed this winter (yep, down blanket, wool comforter, and this quilt...). The crocheted blankets were on my couch and chair this winter. The crocheted blankets are my youngest cat's favorite blankets. But they don't belong on my sewing table! (Right now they're on my couch, waiting to be washed tomorrow. Then I'll have to find a summer home for them...)
It's not a whole lot better, but at least you can see the sewing machine and its cover! The shoebox, by the way, has some fabric in it. It's a set of fabric, that I was originally thinking about using to make a purse, but then I remembered that it's very light colored fabric and purses should be bright or dark...light colors get dirty too fast! The denim is a skirt that I think is in here for mending, but maybe it should go in my pile of denim to make a denim quilt with. Hmm.
Anyway, I also worked on the floor. I couldn't take a good before picture of the floor because I couldn't really walk far enough into the room! I had to move boxes to get INTO the room.
You can sorta see a Target bag, as well as the cat cubes (formerly in the bedroom, now back in the bedroom; I took them out last night to vacuum, and figured my bedroom could look reasonably nice for my my guests today). And under the blankets? fabric. Piles and piles of fabric that are now in the wash because a certain cat doesn't like to use the litter box that much. :sigh:
It's still dirty and messy, but it's getting there!
On a side note, I really need to purchase a steam cleaner vacuum. Add it to the list if I ever get employed again...
