AND
THE SEWING ROOM SAGA CONTINUES---
So, as of Wednesday
night I had moved the tall bookshelf into the sewing room and put in on the
east wall north of the window. I figured the ironing surface could be on the
north wall by the door, and the cutting table would be in the middle of the
room. Unknown to me, this was a very flawed plan.
NOTE- the mini blinds are being replaced-. A certain lard
ass of a cat kept getting into the blinds and breaking them- thanks Newman!
As I was tracking my cutting table delivery Thursday
morning, I once again looked at the description. I finally noticed the table
height- 30”!!! What the hell! Why would
you call a table a craft table that is only 30” high? I sure wish I could read.
So, in frantic texts to my husband I told him to refuse the table. BUMMER! They
do have another one that has a tad less storage, but it is 36” high- now we are
talking! And , the best part is that it is cheaper!
When I got home last
night, I started screwing around in my room. I had an a- ha moment and figured
the new table could be against the south wall to the west of my flannel board.
I had thought the cutting table had drawers on the front and back, but it does
not, so now I can shove it up against the wall. Perfect! More floor space! I
got my trusty measuring tape out and SHIT- in addition to the craft table covering
up part of the closet, there was not enough room to put the cutting table
there. Now what??Well, if I move the bookcase to behind my sewing machine, I
can use that east wall for the cutting table. It would fit perfectly! So, there
I am, unloading that damn bookcase, AGAIN. I move my machine down a bit, throw
the bookshelf in and re load it. AHH- a beautiful spot for my cutting table.
As I was sitting on my ass watching a few minutes of
Breaking Amish (don’t’ judge me- I always wanted to be Amish and this shows me
why I could never cut it- though they do seem to have potty mouths so I just
might fit in!) something came to mind. That cutting table has shelving on either
end, and if I put it against that east wall I will lose that storage. Dear God-
shoot me now.
Out comes the measuring tape, AGAIN, and yes indeed, the
ironing surface will fit on the empty spot where my cutting table was going,
and the table will fit where my ironing surface was. Of course, by now it is
9:30, but this chick cannot stand it. Back into my fricking room I go, and
start moving the whole ironing board set up. Of course, it is not just a board.
There are 700 drawer units under it that
I need to move as well, along with all of the crap I had piled on top of it
that does not have a home yet. And, of course the units are too heavy to move
with the drawers in them so I have to take the drawers out, move the unit, then
put the drawers back in. And I had to move the sewing machine table down a few
feet as well. Thank goodness the surge protector for my sewing machine is long
enough to reach my machines’ new location! It is always good when things are
long enough-J
Today my handsome man is grabbing some
shelving from storage, and then I can start moving my fabric into the closet.
It will be so wonderful to get it out of all of those tubs! I hope it all fits!(
a gal could only hope)
That will be all the
moving/re arranging in there for now. I do need to come up with where I am
going to store all of my in-process kits/not started kits. I think if I sort
through all of my crap I can come up with a drawer or 2. Hopefully the new
cutting table will be here in a few weeks, then I can get some more things
arranged. Maybe I can start sewing
Sunday !WHOO HOO!
Have a good weekend everyone!
