the day i nearly killed the sewing machine
i was only saying last night how smoothly my machine was working. Of course i jinxed myself. With a sewing deadline looming, my beloved Elna decides to throw a wobbly.
It was almost thrown out the window but some quiet words and all was well again. Must be feeling a little jealous of the singer overlocker arriving next week. So back to sewing some easter treats.

attack on the sewing room, round two
ok, so first post is about the war with my sewing room. I have a husband who is a minimalist and me, a hoarder and lover of clutter who thrives in chaos.
Add a relatively small house, two small children, running a small business and no patience (on my husbands side) into the mix and you get what is referred to as the "end room"
My husbands idea is to just back a skip up to the window and "that will fix your dilemma in no time honey".
I do have another plan, hence round two. I just love stuff and am fabulous at starting something, finding something else equally as exciting, starting that, reading a few blogs, getting some more ideas, browsing flickr, and BAM there you have it! Sarah has started a million things, finished none, written ten thousand lists (i LOVE writing lists) and has a craft room that looks like its suffered a mortar attack!
So im on attempt two the clean up/sort out/THROW out of all of my beloved stuff. And to tell you the truth, it's actually going really well! i have a small bag for the rubbish, two large boxes for recycling, an actual idea of all the "stuff" i have (boy it's a lot!) rediscovered some beautiful memories- my son's 20 week scan- he still has the same little nose, some GREAT supplies, plenty of wool ready for winter knitting, more vintage and reclaimed fabric than you can poke a stick at and yes, some UFO"S. ok. not really some, LOADS!
Im so embarrassed to post a before picture, i think i'll just delight in the joys of after.
