I have a new sewing table/area, wanna see?

[Katymac]

Look!! So chuffed!!

A bit messy but still......

[SoupDragon]

No.

[sulk]

[insideout]

That looks brilliant, I am totally jealous especially as all my sewing paraphernalia has been packed up and put into the basement as I have no time to sew at the moment . Love the baskets, always makes things look tidy.

[Katymac]

Are you jealous SoupDragon or feeling poorly?

I've got to fill & paint the wall behind it before I fill it with all my lovely stuff!! I can't wait!!

So exciting!!

[Katymac]

OK I need colour help

The wall behind the table is grey (Egyptian Cotton), the wall opposite is soft sage green (Croquet) & I have some lime green

I have one of those Ikea mini drawers with 3 drawers at the top, 2 in the middle & one at the bottom

So how do I order the paints?

[Owllady]

I hate you :o
It looks fab!

[Gatekeeper]

I am beyond envious

I gave up my craft and sewing room for dd and dd to have as their den and gaming room and I am grumpy about it

[cookiefiend]

Sooooo nice!

[PurpleCrazyHorse]

Oh I love the Egyptian Cotton colour. Had it in our old house and have just painted a wall in our new house with it :)

Very jealous of your craft area. Mine's stashed around the house with a 'handy' area on the back of the sofa (out of the toddler's reach!)

Work so no two drawers are the same colour?

I have never been hated so much on MN - does it make you feel better if you know I just lost my job? & that's why I have the space?

[Katymac]

Purple is there a small cat in your bag?

[Katymac]

You all hate me & aren't talking to me

I do think

will work

[PurpleCrazyHorse]

No small cat in the bag :) Several WIPs though in various bags.

Not sure about colours (I leave that to DH or in the case of our lounge, copied a Farrow and Ball picture!). I'd just go for it, it can always be repainted.

[Katymac]

When I made it bigger I could see no cat but it did look a bit like that really

[Katymac]

In contrast the other end of the room looks like this

[Katymac]

& someone just gave me a size 12 form & I'm collecting a size 8-14 adjustable one next week (£20)

[SoupDragon]

Will there be more malevolent swans?

Oh happy memories of days of long ago!

[glorious]

Jealous. That is all!

[Katymac]

oh god I hope so - that was a bargain on eBay £25 for that bloody dress - I'll never get such a good buy again!!

Can you imagine the swan it is now on one of those dressmaking forms in the corner of the room!!

[Katymac]

glorious - you did see the other end of the room pic?- I could cry at that bit!!

[SoupDragon]

That swan is eyeing you up. Be afraid, be very afraid... :)

[Katymac]

I'll cope - I think it's beautiful!!

[glorious]

Yeah but I'm still jealous! My DD could play with all the toys and I could sew

I love the dress as well. The movement in the skirt is amazing.

[Katymac]

The jumble sale bit is the end of 13 years of nursery so it's really sad as I'm selling it all

My DD is 18

[AuldYow]

You can't beat order, everything in its place - it looks fab.

[glorious]

Awh yes that must be sad - end of an era and all that. Still, imagine how much sewing stuff you will be able to fit in when you've cleared it all!
