I am in love again!

Heehee! What is that all about you ask? Well our house has four bedrooms. It is only me, my husband, and two kids but we have a lot of stuff. The extra bedroom was supposed to be the lego/craft room. Well when we moved in, we just kind of put any thing we did'nt have a place for in there. Then for the holidays, we had an extra chair in there to make room for the tree. On top of that, the room's furniture consists of: a futon, a dining room table, 6 chairs for said table, my sewing machine, all my craft stuff, and my husbands legos. Needless to say it was crowded. When ever I went in to sew, I pulled the chair out from the machine and kind of had to climb over in to it just to sew. The dining room table was taking up a ton of space. Well I finally had enough and went in yesterday and ripped the room apart and rearranged everything and moved stuff. I am sooooo in love with it now. It works soooo much better. I started by taking the rocking chair and putting it back in the computer room, rearranging the closet in the utility room and was able to put 4 dining chairs and two boxes of stuff in there. I then moved everything to a more convenient spot, and even added another chair. Before the transformation, you could not even sit on the futon let alone pull it out to sleep on. Now I just have some empty boxes and a bag of trash (garbage from this room) sitting on it til tomorrow when it goes out for garbage. I am so excited about the room now. I was in there last night sewing, today sewing, and plan to do more tonight. Here are some pics of the new room:

This is most of my husband's legos. See them all separated in the bins?

This is my sewing area. In the far left of the pic you can maybe see 4 bins? Those are my yarn storage solution! LOL!

Finally, this is a picture of my very first quilt. It is a wall hanging I bought last year. I just finished it today. This Saturday is Go Knitter Go night at my house and our theme is 4th of July in January. I thought this would be great.

As far as knitting goes, on the needles are: socks for my hubby, a lace scarf (my first lace project), and a soon to be felted bag. I got a delivery today from the UPS man. It was my needles to start my sweater for our GNG sweater knit along. I will have to swatch for it by Friday. Wow! I sure am glad I am a homemaker or I would never get this crafty stuff finished. Speaking of being a housewife, I better go iron my hubby's uniform, and put the clean dishes away. Ciao everyone!
