OK....... I am not working on the bookshop. I took a step back instead. I went back to the Mystery House for the day. I have made two steps forward. I decided to work on the sewing loft.
I made a Chrysenbon Sewing machine and chair this morning. I think that this is about the fourth one of these machines I have made. Those and the wood stove are two of my all time favorite kits.
I rummaged around looking for sewing stuff I knew I had........Time wasted. I remembered that I put most all of the sewing stuff in the Rusty Needle Quilt Shop. Rats! That means I have to start from scratch for accessories for the sewing loft. I got as far as making a bag with fabric and patterns. These are some old time printies from B.C.(before computers). I save everything. The bag is a Hancock Fabrics bag and the patterns are Simplicity. I am sure I could find some on the net, but I wanted to use some of the old stuff for sentimental reasons. After all, I have held on to them for 20 years or so. Why not use them?
After I finished those, I went on to make one of the dress forms. Oops! This loft is really short. I ended up cutting off the base. I guess that means that the lady that lives here is really short too.
I dug around and found a rug in my stash of made, but homeless, rugs that looks pretty good. Then I stole a basket with white geraniums from the basket shop. I was on a roll! While I was at it, I took a sewing basket too. Sometimes I am glad that I just sit down and make random rugs and baskets when I am bored.
Anyway, I feel like I made some progress today. Did I mention that while I was rummaging for sewing stuff I did some digging out in my workroom too? I am so proud. I can actually walk from the door to the desk on the opposite wall without a leash to pull me back to the door!
Now, I think that while I am going strong, I should keep it up. Back to work.
See you tomorrow.
