Studio cleaning

It's been another whirlwind week. I did finish my "autumn cross-stitch", but still needs some finishing touches, so I'll post that soon and get it hung up before it's winter. I've also been cleaning my craft studio, I just need to dismantle the day bed and get rid of it. Thinking about Craigslist, but I don't know, I feel like calling up the Goodwill to come pick it up. Once that is gone I can set up another table so that my daughter has a crafting area she can call her own and also a spot for my Cricut (which I haven't bought yet, but as soon as there is a dedicated spot I'm going to get it!). These are a few random books on my bookshelf.


Oh, and I'm so exicted! I have an "art table"! Well, technically, it's a laptop desk, but it was being miss-used as a "catch-all table", so I cleared it off and rolled it over to my side of the bedroom and now I use it for my embroidery/cross-stitch table. I usually get up around 6 am and use to watch the news and drink coffee. Now, I can watch the news, drink coffee and be ready to stitch. I could put my laptop there, but I'll never get anything done if I do that! We've had this table for years, I don't know why it took me this long to put it to good use. This table is really nice, because I can tilt part of it and use it to look at my chart. The other side can be tilted, too, but I keep it level for other items. I can also sit at it as a desk, but I just keep it at the side of the bed for now. I bought this from Frontgate, oh look it's on sale! Actually, I saw a cheaper one at IKEA which looks a little different, but would serve the same purpose.

I'm back cross-stitching

  Well, not yet, but real soon because my daughter found a Halloween cross-stitch booklet that I thought I lost forever. So my plans are to ...
