Easter - Family fun

 Our kids don’t come home very often for Easter so considering Easter Saturday was also my birthday this year it was more than special to have them home. We had egg hunts in the golf buggy , lots of swimming and food with family.

Making sound devices with poppy
Help with the jobs .

January 

Yes I did clean up the sewing room and do an audit. I know I am so very lucky to have this space. I was even able to get rid of some furniture in there to make more space. Chooky’s daughter ended up the recipient of a very good cutting bench. We have to encourage the young quilters. I also parted with a few odds and ends and fabric I no longer liked. Life is too short to sew with fabric you really don’t like. 

Enter from the door or lounge That’s my long arm of course. The reason I had to part with the extra cutting bench . 
This is your first view- matching drawers both sides with a bench in the middle. 
Minnie’s bed under the long arm . 

Rotating shelf to hold the stuff you need quickly. - ready to go project bags, threads and rulers 

Cutting table and work space and the quilt is a temporary hang on my design wall. 
Work bench and second set of drawers. The ironing board has to move if I need the drawers . The drawers aren’t my most used though. 
My sewing space , behind the blind is a garden but the sun comes in too strong so the blind is down and it _ gives me a place for this cute quilt
