I have been cleaning my sewing room since Thanksgiving -- organizing, dusting, finishing quilts, getting rid of things -- all to get ready for yesterday. Yesterday, I got new windows in my sewing room. The old windows were broken and living in here was just like living outside: cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and with plenty of seasonal bugs.
The window guys gave me instructions on preparing my room: move everything away from the windows so that we can work. Um...... I have shelving along all of the walls and under each window. I have two longarm machines that have projects stacked under them. Basically, everything in the sewing room was going to have to be moved. To say I was panic-stricken by this news is an understatement.
To prepare, I pulled everything out from under each longarm, decided what to keep and what to donate, and neatly packed it back under the machine in plastic bins. I could slide these bins around when I moved the machine without accidentally dumping out the contents and making a larger mess than I started with.
Yesterday morning, my husband and I moved the longarms and shelves away from the windows and the window guys successfully installed four new windows. Hopefully they will keep the weather and bugs out so I can quilt more comfortably.
Today I am putting my sewing room back to rights and hope to further clean and organize during the rest of my month at home.
