Last week I was in the mood to thrift. So John & I headed towards town. We never made it to town. I saw an estate sale sign so we went there. I was thrilled when I saw this furniture & knew it would look perfect in my sewing room.
It's was made in 1976 by Ethan Allen. So you know it's high quality furniture. I LOVE the daffodil yellow color....it's so retro.
Above is actually 3 different pieces. I put them along the wall so I would have more space to move around the room and easier access to my supplies when sewing.

My cutting station is just to the left of my machine now. So much easier than behind me.
I have plenty of drawer space to hold my fabrics now. I love that I can display my Holly Hobbie dolls (from my childhood) on a shelf instead of in a basket on the floor.
It can still be used as a guest room if needed. But they would hate it when I wake them up at 6 am so I can sew.
I am lovin' my new sewing room. It's so 70's, cozy & inspiring me to get in there and create beautiful things.
John has nicknamed me "The Mad Quilter." So I put the saying on my cork board.
Ben had a major seizure and was just unable to recover from it.
This is my first stipple quilt...it took me 3 hours to stipple it. It was a lot of work but well worth the overall look of the quilt.
It has now become one of my favorites!
I borrowed this cheer-leading outfit from my neighbor. The pom poms were Meg's when she cheered in jr. high.
Here is the front of the quilt. I love the colors & patterns of the fabric.
For the back & binding I decided to use a black & white polka dot.
Here she is at 2 weeks old. She looks just like her momma, but I can see her daddy in her too. She is beautiful.

Thankfully, my outdoor cats are smart and have been staying in the garage where it is cool. We keep a box fan in there for them and it stays about 85°. It makes me sad when I see animals in heat like this without any shade or some kind of shelter.
Speaking of outside cats....anybody out there want one? They are sweet cats! I don't have the heart to take them to the pound. I wonder sometimes what my neighbors think of us! They probably think we are a crazy family....well, we are, but that's another post. At least we live in the country so our houses aren't that close together.
