So, you're moving to Fountain Hills? When the kids were little we used to go out there on a drive so they could play in the grass and see the fountain. That was on the days we didn't go to the railroad park instead. Are you seeing docs at Mayo or Scottsdale Memorial North...er, maybe they don't call it that anymore. Anyway, the hospital at Shea and about
96th???if my memory serves. There was always some friction when Mayo came to town.Where is the new quilt shop you found? KJ
Oh my! Heidi. I don't want to lead anyone into temptation! But, that's a very nice thing to say. You have at least six months to save up! . In message , Heidi from Germany writes
The preschool at my church was throwing away a perfectly good very large metal desk, so I took it home for my sewing table. I went to Home Depot and bought an 8'x4' piece of white laminate to place over the top of the desk. Then I placed a long table at a 90 degree angle to the desk with another 4'x8' white laminate board over that. I sew at the desk and love having a long narrow drawer right in front of me that I use for bobbins, scissors, etc, and a file cabinet built in on my right. The other end of the "L" holds three white laminate shoe cubbies, which gives me 65 eleven inch long cubbies, perfect for folded fat-quarters. I can fit up to 20 fat quarters in each cubbie.
I then purchased another piece of white laminate and added folding legs to it (also bought at Home Depot) DH added locking wheels to each leg which makes it taller for me to use as a cutting table, or I can roll it away from the wall to use for basting quilts. At various yard sales, I've been able to pick up assorted sizes of white laminate book cases and cubes which all add storage. I use cloth storage boxes in the cubes for odds and ends like starch, iron, extra ott light, tape, patterns, etc.
Last month we took everything out of this room to put in a new wood floor, but it's all back to normal now and looks so nice with everything in white. It cost us very little, probably under $100 to outfit the whole room. I just bought a little ceramic heater to use under the desk on cold days.
The white laminate table tops are very inexpensive at Home Depot and they will cut them any length you need. I got mine even cheaper because they were slightly damaged on one side, I didn't care as we only see one side anyways. I see used desks at yard sales all the time, so it really doesn't have to be expensive to have a really nice room. I put a tv in the center of the "L" and I'm right next to the kitchen so it's perfect.

Hoping too :) Haven't made it to the Railroad park in Scottsdale and it isn't that far away! MUST put it on the calendar:) At Mayo on Shea, big part of the reason we moved here was for me to go there...so far so good :) DH has been a patient at the mayo Hospital a coupla of times already and the Dr says he may have to again before the hernia surgery.....gotta get a clearance from having Valley Fever before he can have it :( He is much better..but they can't say if it will be this year or next.
