…. at least that is what it feels like… I certainly disappeared from blogland! I know that as I get older the years go by faster, but last year was just ridiculous. I really don’t know where it went! I am hoping that this year will go a little slower and I will get time to keep up with my blog and all my blog friends.
So Happy New Year everyone! I have been wandering around some of blogland looking at the new challenges and boms out there, and so far I have been sucked into a few 🙂 It feels good to be back and to have a clean slate ahead of me to make plans and look forward to.
I am not sure I will choose a word for this year! Last year it didn’t turn out so well, although I have to say that in the last month I have done more organizing than in the whole year! We moved house three months ago and some of the boxes still weren’t unpacked. Last week I decided I needed to tackle the “school room”. DS says I’m fooling no-one calling it a school room since 90% of the stuff in it is sewing related 🙂 Here are a few photos:
This is the school room – with a table in the back corner for my sewing machines:
Under the window are tubs that are mostly labeled:
They are all sorted at least, and it is so nice to be able to find things. I also organized my stash:
But I haven’t finished with these bookshelves yet:
See the bookshelf on the left? That is school stuff, hence it is the school room 🙂 Actually the big tables in the middle that still have stuff needing sorting are where we are going to do school so that makes it more of a school room… right???!!!!
At least we have a spot to do our “work” whether it is school or sewing…. and maybe I can even get some sewing in while I supervise the school work!
As I tidied up the room, I FOUND a lot of UFO’s…. but I will leave that to another post 🙂 For now I shall keep going with my tidying and catch you all later….
Wow you are all nicely organized these days! Me not so much. My room is a dumping ground it seems for things non sewing related! This must end! 😉
Hope you have a wonderful new year and get loads done!
Hugs,
Lola
definitely looks like a school room to me………….that’s all educational learning on the shelves if you ask me……….nice to see you back………..

So nice to see you back posting! What a lovely room–sewing or school. I would love to have a whole room! 2012 did go fast. I’m hoping to make 2013 more productive!
