"Where Bloggers Create"

This is my first time on "Where Bloggers Create"
not sure I'm ready? (Lot's of cleaning, arranging and purging!)
Big Thank you to Karen from "My Desert Cottage" for doing this!


This is my antique jelly cupboard/ fabric storage unit, that I want to paint creme and "antique"

Thimble and small collection
Lots of stuff in progress...

Dress form, she holds my needles and pins!
Close up of my Singer collectibles, did I mention, I collect cloth tape measures as well?

My husband made the sewing tables for me with machines built in. I usually keep beige thread in the Izek and black in the other Singer. The futuristic Izek Singer is a 150th Anniversary machine that uses a Game boy for the stitch functions.
My sewing room. My machine is undercover, so is my serger!
My husband found this 4 drawer spool cabinet for me, it was painted totally black and he stripped it down and when we found the words were still on, I screamed. The other one we found at a fleatique!
 My fabric cutting room's other corner. Lots of ribbon rolls hanging above.
 I made the lamp shade for the Singer Lamp. Going to "antique" the Hoosier soon, too white!
 This big Singer was for upholstery.  I haven't tried it yet! And I've had it for years!

Love Singer Sewing Machines! Major Collector, here!

Closer view of my cutting table. It's a real old Singer table that I found a sale.

My cutting/storage room. I have taken over our entire basement for my sewing and crafting and storage! I still don't have enough space.

Just added the shows I will be doing this year (as long as I get in to all of them!) Took me a while to figure out how to add the links to the websites. Last year I had them on, but you couldn't click and go to them. I thought they worked automatically when you typed the address! Nothing works automatically on my blog! I don't know how all this blogger stuff operates. Just a computer dork! I type everything in on the search engines and try to follow the directions. It takes a while!!

I know it has been awhile since my Bedford Fall FoliageShow, but I decided to put my pictures on anyway. Things get crazy with the holidays and I get forgetful. But, I was working with Photoshop, trying out different things and I am hooked on these dag frames. So here's a few from October 2010 Bedford...

OMG, after a horribly LONG search for knowledge...I finally found the way to remove my blogger header border!!! I can't believe it took me so long. The usual ways that were listed on all the sites didn't work on my page?! No idea why? Also loving my new background. Cat at Paisleycat Designs helped me with that! She has great things on her blog and was super helpful! I always have a tendency to go with the darker colors (BLACK) and I'm trying to go lighter in the new year.
