Sew I continue to either entertain you or at least provide
you with some ideas on how you too can be more productive
in 2010. There I said it, this could be a NEW YEARS resolution
for some of you.
I am all about being thrifty and taking advantage
of things I already have, like bookcases, wardrobes,
shelves, all in all in organized materials to give me more space.
And as doll and bear makers, we can always use more space..
( nod yes) Ü
Take for instance this bookcase, you can find these
at Ikea. I was searching for a perfect height and width
for an ironing station. The fact it had 4 shelves for
added storage was a bonus. It is 3 feet wide
and about 4 feet in height. I took a piece of wood
covered it with some quilt batting, and stapled
some chocolate brown with pink dots as my ironing
board. ( of course dots) lol... Perfect size
for ironing all the body parts and dresses.
And I spray everything with Lavender linen spray
( give you that formula on how to make your own
on another day) Part 3 tomorrow.
Oh you could use an old dresser too for an ironing
station. mmmmm
This white cupboard was a JAM cupboard,
it never really did house jams, but a lot of t-cups
at one time. But I had a kitchen for that...♥
SEW, I painted it white and now it is ideal
for my hair collection...( wool - for hair)
I like to keep my sewing machine seperate from
my design and construction table ( showed
that yesterday) That actually was a dining
table we purchased 20 years ago,
and it was always in storage as it was
too large for us once all the kids left home.
This sewing fold up table I found at Walmart
for under $20.00. I like it because it is the perfect
size to sew and there is no room really to pile
up anything, sew it always stays neat.
I have a tree of bobbins, once a month
I wind 20 bobbins of white, ivory and black
sew I always have a back up...Gosh I am
beginning to sound a bit like M.S.
( not my intention at all
this world does not need another Martha)

Lighting is very important, sew I did invest
in 2 OTT lights, they are as natural as the sun
for sewing. Sew I have one at my sewing station
and yesterday, you could see the table one on my
design and construction table. Both I purchased
at SEARS, watch for their sales, I got them
1/2 price, sew that was buy one get one free.
I would call Sears and ask them when their
next sale is, should be in January...
Ok, I had provided a couple more
pics but this was just too much too
savour all in one day Ü...Sew tomorrow
part 3. Shelving and hooks behind door
for boas and my new doll...
Keeping you organized
