WHY???

WHY, oh, WHY can't I keep a clean sewing room/office???? I don't understand it. How did it get this bad so quickly?? Today will find me getting this mess cleaned up once AGAIN! I meant to have Sweet Hubby take the 2 old computers back to the basement storage area yesterday, but forgot. Now I will have to do it myself. The desk is a mess, as is the sewing table. Hazel (my vacuum cleaner) will be spending some time in here. At least the closet is staying clean. Ewwww, an open drawer...a pet peeve of mine.

Libby asked for us to show our ironing boards. I have two. This little one is on my sewing table and I use it for block piecing and bias stem making, etc. The big one I have to drag into my sewing room from the bedroom as it is a shared board. I only need it if I am piecing a top or pressing backing fabric, etc. This iron gets much hotter than mine. Nothing spectacular. Not horrible, but not a pretty sight either!

Speaking of pretty sights...or sites...I was able to get my blog out of the black hole with a colored background. I am still a work in progress and want to create a soothing look to my blog. I like the template, but may end up changing that to. I found a GREAT new blog that is helping me to do this. Amy is the wizard of blogs. Just go here to see what she offers...it is free and easy to understand. I learned how to put in a search box and replace the word "comments" at the end of my posts. Also, the background color change was not tricky even though it was manual. Amy's tutorials are user friendly! She also offers services at very reasonable prices. Thanks Tammy for leading me to Split Decisionz.

Thinking of great blogs, don't you all miss Joni??? I know she is working full time and needed to close her blog because of time constraints, but I reeeeeally miss her posts.

Well this room is not going to clean itself...I have tried that! Zachary has decided to learn to use a yo-yo for math...Notice the math paper and pencil on the messy table behind him. Nice try, kiddo!!!
