My New Stitching Room

This week has been busy, busy, busy! Each day I've been on the go and by the time I get home I'm just too tired to stitch or Blog :o(

As I mentioned in a previous post, we 'were' expecting delivery of our new entertainment unit this past Monday. Well...they called Monday and asked for directions but it turns out they were on the other side of the province. Apparently there are two places with the same name. Okay, so I explain where we are and set up delivery for Wednesday. Well...they called Wednesday and asked for directions but guess what? They went to the OTHER place...AGAIN! Maybe I didn't speak proper English when I gave them the directions ;o) Now it's set up for this coming Monday morning. We'll see if they can find us this time. The third time's a charm right? LOL!

In the meantime, we've been getting things ready and one of my jobs was to rearrange my stitching room to accommodate my revamped sofa :o) After seeing the totes upon totes of stuff, DH says I have too many hobbies. Pfffffttttt!

This morning I went and got my hair done. It's been about ten months since I got my foils so I was due. I needed something to cover those white hairs that are mysteriously popping out of my head ;o) When I arrived home, DH must have gotten one of the guys from work over because we had a case of musical chairs. LOL! So here are some pictures of my new room -

My desk remains in the same spot since all the plug-ins are along that wall -

Even poor Popcorn had to be moved -

The only problem I have with her new location is that my little 'sweetheart' can nibble the curtain if I leave it down so it has to be knotted up...

The 'majority' of my stash ;o)

And the 'new' loveseat -

Eventually I would like to get a flat screen television with built in DVD player to put on the wall above the desk. Besides that, the only other thing missing is my table and lamp. I'm still deciding which one I want to put there.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on Sabrina :o)

  4. Great room! I wish I had a separate space for crafting. My condo is an all-in-one eat, work , stitch arrangement! Always looks like a hurricane just came through!

    Isn't it great to look in the mirror and so those nasty gray lines have disappeared?

  7. Oh, I stopped with the foils. Just not enough coverage of the white hair. I have gone to the 'full-coverage' color. ;0)

    I can't believe that soda was a sectional. So what did you do with the rest of it?

    Is DH daff? You have too many hobbies? Silly man. Love all the totes. What would be cool is if you showed us what was in those drawers.

    Looks wonderful - Congrats!

  11. Very nice!!
    Man, I wish my stash was all in one place like that. I have floss stashed in one room, patterns in another, beads downstairs in a closet. It's like a workout going around and up and down trying to kit something up. lol

    Love the colors in that room too! Makes me itchy to paint a few rooms in my house. :)

  13. Looks great Cathey!

    Surely it wasn't the SAME people delivering? Could they really make the same mistake again? Are you sure you weren't supposed to move to the other side of the province so when they came back they'd be in the right place? Crazy stuff!

  19. Very nice room! I'm still dreaming about the day when I can claim a room for my very own :)

    Ah yes, the foils! I started doing them a few years ago, and can always tell it is time for a touch-up when I start looking too close in the mirror and plucking out white hairs.

    I have also been told that I have too much hobby stuff. Whenever that comes up, I mention all of the tools. That is usually the end of the discussion!

    Hope your delivery people show up as scheduled this time :)

  20. Congrats! So nice to have a 'space' for your stash and a neat one at that. A flat screen will be a nice addition but watch out.....it could distract you from stitching.

  27. I hope you have got your entertainment unit today. Three tries is a good number, don't you think, lol.
    Your new room looks gorgeous. And there's plenty of wall space for your cross stitched beauties. Like Sabrina. I saw her in your last post and her dress is just stunning.

  28. You have a fantastic space!
    A tv is also on my list for my craft room but it's an extra, so, it will be one of the last things to buy.
    I love your stash drawers, everything is in place and very practical! I don't have the space for something like that =/ Well, I think that I also don't have so mush stash to fill them :p Lol
    How is Popcorn behaving? As she been a good girl around the house? :)
    Have a great week!!! :D

    PS: love your winter layout ;)
