Hello my dears. Ok, the sewing room is really almost done now. But, there are three major elements that are yet to be finished for the BIG reveal! But you are all so patient and kind, that I'm going to give you a fix. A few little peeks if you will.
This is my darling. I took this picture of him when I was 19, and he was 20. It's been by my bedside ever since. Mr. Anyone Can Quilt is having a 35th birthday very soon by the way. Maybe he'd like some new fabric for his birthday... you think ... no ...?
Rosie has been a huge help as you can imagine. Don't you just want to scoop her up and kiss her soft ears?! If you did she'd just try to lick your mouth and that would ruin the moment anyway.
An addiction.
To help me with my addiction.
One of my great-grandmother's crafts. Don't you love her blue eyeshadow?
My sewing room is right across the hall from our bedroom. And these are the only two bedrooms in the house. Which is why we are so happy that the girls are now in their attic rooms! It has made our little cottage seem so much bigger. Here is the view from my little sewing room, to our little bedroom.
When it comes to old houses, tiny = cozy in my opinion. And that's just right for me. Now, cross your fingers that when the birthday boy gets home from work he'll help me hang the sewing room's new light fixture. He's very good at those kinds of things, but dreads doing it, and may say bad words while in the midst of the wiring. Can't wait till you see that loveliness. And by that I mean my new light fixture... not the birthday boy hanging it... the boy is just for me, curse words and all. x
I can tell that your room is just absolutely beautiful! Such inspiration.

Living it already. I noticed lots of RED fabrics in there! My favorites. I studied each photo veeery carefully..didn't want to miss any of your creativity! I did notice the what I think..is fabric on embroidery hoops hanging on the wall! What a fantastic idea! I'm off now to find some embroidery hoops and my absolute fav fabric! Oooh..can match the quilt I'm in the makings with!
LOVE THIS BLOG!

OMG... I want to weep it's all so beautiful! Weepy cute. And that goes for Mr. ACQ at 20 too!
Holy smokes and I can't wait to see more. Warn us first though... so we can have our hankies handy! xom

I had to look at the pictures in this post several times. They were all so lovely. It is such a beautiful home and seeting. Mr. Anyone can quilt looks like a very young Tom Cruise! I'd guard him with my life if I were you! ;-) I'd get him a few fat quarters just for fun. At our house we call those gifts "roller skates for grandma" and we do it for a little fun now and then.

I could weep from the beauty here too! Love the boots by the bed, and the stack of fabric? *Swoon*
Posted by: threeundertwo | January 19, 2009 at 10:32 AM
I think I may have two more magazines than you!
Posted by: Anne Donald | January 20, 2009 at 03:31 AM
Oh, I can't wait to see the finished room!
The sneak peeks are wonderful. Beautiful bedroom, too.
I'm in the process of redoing my sewing room, too. (Just bringing elements together at this point)
We're in a small 2 bedroom house, as well...except that we don't have that finished attic space.
BTW, I'm coveting those gorgeous boots by the bed. LOL

I love this room. I mean wow.... I am a little jealous. Well a lot who am I kidding. And I love the attic rooms too. I have always wanted attic rooms for my kids. One day. You have some awesome decorating going on too!
And I have a magazine addiction too. Hum. wonder where we need to go for that addiction to be helped? My hubby just rolls his eyes when he sees another crafty magazine jump into my hands. :) he he
