PROCRASTINATING A BIT

So I still haven't started working on my monster guys. Ugh! I'm in a bit of creative funk and procrastinating. I decided to reorganize and clean my studio from top to bottom. Sometimes this helps me get re-energized. I decided I disliked my work my table and wanted something new. Unfortunately I don't have a ton of money and everything I like is way out of my price range. The above pick is Pottery Barn's craft table that I've loved for quite some time. My husband and I decided how hard could this really be to make. So we found some building plans on line and decided to tackle it.



Here it is and I LOVE it! It really was not hard at all. It took two weekends to complete. I finished it up last weekend.  It would have gotten done sooner but we really could only work on it when my 3 year old was asleep.



The Closet Maid canvas baskets fit perfectly in the cubbies.



Table top measures 38" x 56". Lots of cutting space. The table is 38" tall. Perfect for standing at, which is mostly how I work.



Here's a few pics of the table in progress.





So my first project on my new table was swing a pirate hat for my daughter. As soon as I finished sewing the hat my machine decided to act up and now needs to be serviced. UGH! The bobbin casing has a crack and chunk of plastic missing out of it. I'll be heading to MoSew next weekend to have it cleaned and fixed. Guess I'll try and get my old Singer out and use it for a while.

I'll post some pics of the pirate hat when I finish it. I've got lots of ruffles and ribbons to hand sew on first.
