Working Hole

This here is my little working hole. As you can see it is also our laundry room but I find it is the perfect place for me. Since I didn't have a ton of space to work with I couldn't buy a table to do my cutting on. Instead I used the top of my washer and dryer and put a piece of plywood over them. It works great! I am not cutting to high or low so if I have a lot to do I am not hurting myself. 

You can also notice my little helper in the picture. He is always there to see what new is being made.

I plan to recover that chair someday very soon and get the floor painted. That will all come in time. 
Since I didn't want to be on the concrete floor for sometimes hours  doing my cutting I went to walmart and bought a package of those foam blocks to put down. They work great and also where it is a laundry room and things do tend to get wet from time to time I am not wasting time drying out a rug. Wipe these babies down and keep going. 

I have found that a good sewing table is a must!!! It makes things so much easier and also keeps all your important tools such as scissors, bobbins, pins etc right at your finger tips. I found this little beauty at a thrift store for $9.99! 
As you can see it is nothing fancy, but that's how I roll! :)

I hope to publish a blog after I finish any quilts, sewing, knitting, crafts etc. Hope you all enjoy! 
P.S. A big thank you to my friend Heather  aka. Traveling Thrifter for all of her help keeping me motivated.

  3. I got some Christmas craft ideas that I am going to do up and get posted on here, hopefully soon! Lets hope they turn out lol
    I think I know what type of bird house you are talking about. Maybe I will try to make one from memory and post how I cut the pieces etc. I don't think they are very hard at all.
