Craft Studio pics

Well I know you have all been waiting patiently to see what I have accomplished in my studio. Here is where I am at so far.  Hubby and I got a couple of the heavy items moved in this weekend but I still have my antique items to pick up from the store. As you can see my studio is filling up quite nicely.

 Putting in all the bottles and boxes with beads in them I managed to spill some all over the floor. That was fun trying to get those tiny buggers up.

Here I get to sit and look out over the valley and breathe in the fresh mountain air while I sew. I may need to put up a sheer to help block out the afternoon sun somewhat. It can become quite bright.

I have placed another sewing machine on this desk in case I need a back up or someone comes over and wants to sew with me. I placed my books up top which works for me. I know that really getting this place organized is going to take time. As I sit and begin crafting, I will know what needs to be where, as I go.

I still need to have a phone line put in and my computer brought out here. I'm finding more things to move in as I walk around the house.  I did'nt realize I had that much crafting supplies but I keep finding more, under the bed, in the closet, out in the tack room. Goodness you'd think I had enough but I'm always picking up a good bargain when I see one.

I did purchase a new Singer sewing machine, which was still in the box brand new, from a lady over in Medford. She said she had'nt even used it when she found another she liked even more. Good deal for me as I paid half what she paid for it. It stitches like a dream. It can do over 35 different stitches and I will need to do a lot of practice for sure. Heck, it took me 45 minutes to figure out what the picture was trying to show me on how to wind the bobbin. And that was winding on top like I usually do. This puppy can wind itself and thread the needle by itself. That's another lesson for another day.

I have never owned such a nice, more modern type machine. I have always bought inexpensive ones with no frills. They have always worked just fine for me and I hope I don't become too overwhelmed trying to figure out this one.

I am open to any suggestions you all may have on how I can better organize my room. I have looked at many different blogs and have seen some pretty nifty ideas out there. I hope I will be able to incorporate some of them into my room.
