The Sewing Room re-organised:

It took the two of us two hours completely re-jig the Sewing Room. It turns out, one of us is a squirrel and it's not me! To the question "where shall we put this?" was always "in this space just here". It made the Sewing Room look like the tardis off Dr Who! Amazingly now, we can get to the plug sockets without having to get on our knees and crawl under the desk! Genius! The re-organisation also means we both have a place to sit other than the floor! And we'll no longer have to throw things to each other either as we'll be sat within passing distance! The next stage is to get a big shelf put up above the main desk, so more of our sewing bits and bobs are within reaching distance. A shelf full of boxes is not only a very good use of space, it means we can indulge our passion for boxes.

We both get very excited when we discover boxes of all shapes, sizes and colours in places like Hobbycraft - sad we know! Any type of box - we can find a reason for buying it! You've heard of the term 'bag-lady'...well we're the box-ladies! How many of you out there can stand looking at an aisle of plastic boxes with lids and say words like 'wow' and 'isn't it cute'? We're not sure whether there is a medical name for it but we figure that being drawn towards boxes is not as bad as some of the other addictions out there!
