New Sewing Room Update

I am trembling with excitement...seriously I am!  I've wanted my very own sewing room for years...I mean a custom designed, fit to my needs sewing room.  Whenever sewing rooms appeared on the internet or in sewing books & magazines, I've peered at them, taking in every detail, storing away ideas for the day that I might be able to have my own room.

Well that day has finally arrived...and I'm back to picking out furnishings, determining the layout of the room and how to cram all of my stuff into it in an orderly fashion. 

Today I want to share with you wall art.  Yes, I'm even having artwork on my sewing room walls...no thread racks for me...nope uh-uh...  I've purchased true art painted by one of our very own.

If you've been a member or visitor to Stitcher's Guild for any length of time you'll know that Hellenne won one of the very first SWAP contests sponsored by Julie Culshaw.  Hellenne is a artist who paints on silk fabric and canvas.  She has a blog called "Hellenne Vermillion Art".  On Monday, she featured a series of dressform paintings.  I saw them and flipped.  I knew that they would be perfect for my new sewing room.  Showed them to my friend who's designing my room and he said to buy them...so I did!

Here are the first pieces (besides my new Imagine serger) for my sewing room:

dressform 1

dressform 2

dressform 3

dressform 4

As soon as they arrive, we are having them framed. They've already been incorporated into the latest drawings of the sewing room.  I am toooooo excited!  When the first drawings of the sewing room are completed, I will share them...and if you don't want to read about my new sewing room design and implementation, feel free to skip these posts...a new sewing one will be up soon, I promise! *LOL*

Speaking of sewing, I know what I want to work on this weekend and since I have no social obligations, I'm locking myself in and happily spending the weekend with my machines and fabrics...

...as always, more later!
