This is on the opposite wall. I took peg board, painted it, added spacers on the back, and the trim on front. I love it. It is now full of sissors, cutters, rulers, and other odds and ends. The table is a solid-core door that weighs about a billion pounds. I put the handles on both ends to help with haulin it around. The saw horses can be raised, but since I am short, I haven't felt the need. Since these pictures were taken, I have added some shelves in the closet for my stash, a small book shelf just inside the door for my books, and a stand for my TV. I love spending time in here, and have been known to just sit at my table and watch TV because I had nothing else to do. :) (or because I was avoiding homework, but that is the horse of a different color!)
This is the BEAUTIFUL stand of Irises in the backyard. Some of you may know that these were my Grandma Hartleroad's favorite flowers, so it was a wonderful surprise to see them coming up. If you look, there is one yellow one among all the light purple ones. Since taking this picutre, we have several dark purple ones pop out. I love them.
Here is a close-up of one.
Finally, here are some things I have been doing with my new machine: I made them for Z., who seemed to love them. I especially love the pink dress. It came out very cute. I am supposed to be getting some picks of the doll in the cloths, but haven't seen them yet (hint, hint).
I was laid off from work about 8 weeks ago, but have been keeping busy with things around the house, and hanging out with friends at the BumbleTees shop. I'm trying to find another job, but am enjoying the time off for now. It's amazing how many things there are to do when you don't have to bother with getting up and going to work. Finally, I'll leave you with pics of the girls...
Isabel (she-who-must-be-obeyed)
and Corkey (she-who-obeys...well, most of the time) before the summer cut.
