The Christening of a Room

Sep 14, 2005 3 Replies

I was sewing along this morning, making blocks for one of my first 'for sale' baby quilts...with three sewing machines out on the table, ironing board up, fabric everywhere, and me having hotflashes while I sew...it dawned on me that my room looks like a sweat shop, of sorts. So, I've nicknamed it "The Sweat Shop". It's totally tongue in cheek, mind you. Not meant to offend anyone. I intend to make a little cross stitched sign to go above the doorway to the studio, though.

Congratulations!!!! Good luck on your sales and Christmas coming will help ! We just finished the construction of our 2 large climate controlled wood floor storage rooms after two full years of working on them last weekend. We loaded them on Monday so everything came out of my sewing room closet filled to the brim the first two years. Yesterday I loaded my new sewing room u- shaped walk in closet . We built the house so I designed how I wanted it with shelving and all and an ironing board down the middle. It looks like it is going to work just fine. I had a wonderful day setting the room up finally and now finally feel like we are "home".barbara

I've always called my sewing room, my sweat shop also.

I used to put a sign up in about October that read: "Santa's Workshop. Knock please" Now that I live by myself (and my QI Sasha still can't read) I don't bother with the sign. Sasha does what she wants anyway.
