New Sewing Room Pictures, Show Tomorrow!

6/23/07

ladyfestto_posterjune24Show Tomorrow!
The Ladyfest Craft Show is happening tomorrow afternoon in Kensington Market (during a Pedestrian Sunday) at the Kapisanan Philippine Centre (right across from the Boat, at Dundas + Augusta). There will be music during the event and the entrance is pay-what-you-can. There's also going to be a raffle in which Pink Olive will have an item. So if you're in the neighbourhood, please come by.


I cleaned up my sewing room (again) last weekend.. it seems like it's always getting so damn messy! I'm blaming it on the size of the room :)

I made some additions as well. (Click the images to see larger sizes)

I love the Mac Plus parade in the hallway leading up to my sewing room (which is in the back of our house and was previously an underused office/room-that-leads-to-the-deck)

Here's the biggest wall and the door that leads to the deck. I love leaving that door open on nice days!

Here's a shot when the door is closed. I think I'm going to make some curtains for the little window on the door (off-white eyelet material?)

My main workspace. I just put up that little shelf for my ipod/speakers/pins/pens/etc and rearranged the entire thing so I could hang my lovely spool holder (which now, thanks to a trip to my mom's house is totally full of new spools of thread)

Here's another shot of the long wall - I've hung up my craft show sign that I made and added some hooks from Home Depot to the wall to display my things

Oh and the ultimate gift.. Here's the story:
Thursday night I came home from work and went out for a jog (yes, I've started jogging... mostly walking haha) and came back, had a shower/etc. I was watching a bit of tv and talking with Aidan for about, oh I don't know... forty-five minutes or so.. And Aidan says to me, "Oh I picked up your laundry from downstairs for you" (referring to some fabric I had washed). So i went to go take a peek and fold it up and what did I find?
New Serger!!

The boy bought the girl a serger!!! (and kept it a secret ALL DAY from me!)
It's a Janome MyLock 204D and I think I'm in love. I've only had a chance to play with it a bit and I'm trying to figure out the tension/threading (4 threads.. ah!) and everything, but I LOVE it.

Now I'm going to go get some lunch and start/continue to work on some things for tomorrow's show.
