Guess what I got?

A serger! Woohoo! Now I have to figure out how to use it. :) I can't wait! I had to completely re-arrange my sewing shed/room so that I had a place to put it. I also have a new work table. Ok so I took the ping pong table and set it up in my sewing room. Just don't tell my brothers where the thing disappeared to. ;) Now I have a great big space to cut my patterns and fabric on. No more bringing my projects into the house to cut out on the floor in the dinning room. Yeah! I was also able to put a real book shelf in as well. Because that little tiny metal display shelf thingy just wasn't enough room for my books. I will put pics of my serger on tomorrow so that y'all can  ohh and ahh over it. Oh yeah, and I'll put pics on of my new and improved sewing room as well.

Work

So for the last week and a half I've been cleaning out the storage shed/new sewing room. While cleaning out the inside part of the shed I found Christmas ornaments that were missing, a newspaper from November 23,1963, and pictures of Dad when he was a teeny little boy. He looked like Judah. :-) He was cute! So after I cleaned the floor, it was time to fix the door knob and the windows. One of the windows was broken by yours truly (I told you I couldn't aim well), and the other one was broken by Timmy. He has no excuse for bad aim. Come on, he plays baseball. He has no excuse for hitting the window instead of the tree. ;-) I successfully removed what remained of the bottom window without any thing or any one getting hurt. Then I moved on to the top window. Removed the glass but not without a trip to the house for some hydrogen peroxide and band-aides. Ouch! So now I'm working on cleaning the outside portion of the shed, which has been used as a place for the bikes, lawn mowers, spare washing machines and dryers, and in the rare event of a hurricane ever hitting us, a goat shelter. I've also found out that this is where our dogs bring the little "treasures" that they find in the woods. You can not imagine all the things that they've brought back from their daily wanderings. So by tomorrow evening I'm hoping to have the entire shed cleaned out and organized so that on Tuesday I can start moving my sewing stuff in there. I can't wait!! :-)
