My temporary sewing room.
My sewing room is redecorated and some other work. I won't show you a picture because it looks very sad. the whole ceiling is down! (I had a leak last year and it needed replacing) But it will take 2 weeks to finish so I dragged one of my machines downstairs in the living room (To the annoyance of my husband) You just forget how much you need for one project and a small (quite wobbly) table does not hold it all so I am spreading. I hope these 2 weeks will go fast and that they don't find more problems. (An old house always seems to throw up surprises and this part of the house is 300 years old).

Glad you were able to squeeze out a corner for you to at least do a bit of sewing. Hope that there are no surprises in your repair and that it will be done in 2 weeks. Most of us who have done any remodeling/repair projects say to almost double the time quoted. If done earlier than double the time and less than 30% higher bill then in my opinion you have had a successful project! Hope you can find all your supplies you need while your sewing room is in boxes and totes. I so understand!

Thank you. Yes very difficult to find anything as it is stored in 3 different rooms.

sorry about the leak in the ceiling... does that mean a new roof.. well when the project is done it will be wonderful.. and a new space for sewing is always fun to decorate.. a 300 year old house will have a break down once in a while..

We did the roof last year but I postponed doing the ceiling to this year!

You are so right about old houses. They are full of surprises at the worst times. Enjoy stitching no matter where you are and I hope the work goes smoothly and quickly.

I know what you mean!!! Our house is no where near the age of yours, but we are having lots of trouble right now...it's sinking!! Seems there's a fresh water spring under the addition! Foundation is cracking, etc. Aggg! Hope your sewing room is up & running soon!!
