Felt encouraged today....

Today I felt encouraged to write in  my blog... and to share my sewing nest..

Because we host a chinese student, my sewing room in being occupied as his bedroom so therefore I am parked with a lot of my sewing gear down in a part of my living room.. Here are a few pictures of my temporary nest..

The first picture shows one half of my living room... 

The second shows my sewing area.. 

And the third picture shows where I store my bins with my fabric and supplies.. which is under my table and sewing machine cabinet...

 In this shot you can see first and foremost my little jar of skittles.. My hubby don't know they are there yet or they would be gone.. lol  Lynda gave me this wooden caddy she won at the retreat cause she already had something for her things.. So this caddy is holding my 1 x 12 in. ruler, my rotary cutters my scissors, my book of needles, ( was a gift from a friend ) my seam ripper, a couple of my marking pencils and pens. and my magnifying glasses that attach to my prescription glasses..

I try to keep it as tidy as I need for my hubby cause he doesn't like to see the mess all over the place... and I don't blame him one bit.. He is very nervous about pins on the floor.. as am I with the babies but they are not allowed in the sewing part of my living room.. My couch divides up the living area and sewing area but I try my best to make sure all the pins are picked up.. It will be nice to have my room back.. 

Also I want to show what I am working on now which is the snow man blocks I won at the guild...I am hand picking it cause I miss doing the picking on a quilt...

Oh and one last thing... I made this cute rag purse or bag this week... I just love it.. Our next cruise, it is coming with me.. 

Thanks to Wendy  ( It Is what It Is! ) for passing on the idea of sharing our nests..
