New Year- Fresh start

 New Year's day we spent the day switching the Pantry with the "Office". I don't have any before pictures to show- I am awful at rememering to take pictures before I start a project. The small bedroom had become really cluttered and the pantry area behind the living room was making me crazy because the kids were constantly getting into the food.

I have already liked the move- it's great to be able to close the door and keep the kids out of hte pantry, and it has given us a place to move the hamper so it doesn't block the hallway.

The Sewing machine was in the family room already because I needed to be with the kids while I worked on projects. So now I can work and have access to all my supplies without running back and forth.

This is still a mess, Adam moved everything for me, so it's going to take a while to organize it into a working system. I am excited to have the sewing machines next to each other again- it's nice when I want to switch between them.

It will look better and eventually we might even get to finishing the basement.

We have been having so much fun over the holidays that I have neglected the blog. I also have been busy making a heap of christmas gifts. The total included at least 8 little girls aprons, 6 bibs, 2 nightgowns, 2 dresses, 3 purses, 3 soft alphabets in bags, 2 pajama pants, 5 sets of hot pads, 12+ hair clippies, 5 crayon roll-ups, 1 monogram for a lunch box, 3 pairs altered PJs (imogene, xander and jack), and a bunch of gift bags to hold it all. I still have lunch boxes to "un-monogram", some pot holders in progress, a shirt to finish for me, a pattern for a couple of shirts for me, Adam's pj shorts, and I want to embroider little designs on flour sack dishtowels but I have to finish MiMi's cross stiched stocking first. And I need to make some progress on Xander's stocking as he is asking me when I will work on his.
