My new Singer Futura Sewing/Embroidery machine. I love this thing. It's very finicky, but if you bend to it's weird little whims, (only a certain brand of thread, for instance), you will love the machine and what it can do. I still have "Old Betsy" my $99 Singer Inspiration, and I still use her. That little lady is a true gem!
I was looking for a creative way to display all of my ribbons, and I wanted them to not only be pretty, but within easy reach when I needed them. I found this vintage style bottle dryer at a local shop on the square for $40. I just love how it looks and everything is visible and easy to get to.
The project table came from World Market and I bought it for a song on clearance! It was the last one left. Lucky!! The orange storage boxes came from The Container Store and I filled them with labeling supplies, sewing notions and hot glue guns. I used inexpensive glass cookie jars for binding tapes, rik rak, buttons and bits and pieces of ribbon. Everything is labled so it's easy to find!
This self and baskets are from Ballard Designs. They hold all of my fabrics quite nicely!
My secretary also came from Ballard Designs. I love the handrubbed finish and I love how you can close it all up if you want so that everything stays nice and neat. Oh, and I got a great deal on the rugs too. I bought two of them on sale at Hobby Lobby and paid less than $50 for both of them!
On top of my secretary I placed our phone charger, a decorative tray, a picture from our trip to San Francisco last summer (one of my favorites) and two old cameras given to me by my Dad. I can't help but look at these things and smile.
The Hubby's Desk. He got a sawhorse desk from Ballard Designs and he loves it. We used a rolling cart from The Container Store to house my "shop ready" garments, as well as our all-in-one copier and bins full of office supplies. Notice the brick walls? That is existing brick from the exterior of our house. It gives the room such a great feel....
