Changes, Changes....

I like to change things around every so often. And I recently had a bee in my bonnet to change around lots of things.

We have 3 mostly unoccupied bedrooms and none of them were being used to their potential. So, with lots of help from Jeff with the big stuff, we have pretty much flopped around 5 rooms.

The back bedroom now holds my craft stuff and the computer - it is pretty much organized but not decorated so check back later when I finish and post some pictures.

This is one of the front bedrooms and was mostly a craft room.

Now, this end of the front corner bedroom is clean and empty - just waiting for a bed for guests, a valance for the window and some decorations on the walls.

Gavin's things are on the end of this same corner bedroom.

The 3rd bedroom is now set up as a guest room and.

Jimmy and his stuff are in that room until he goes back to college -

I'm sure you can imagine why I am not posting pictures of that room either.

We swapped out the furniture in the front dining room. It did have a big glass table with 6 heavy metal chairs.
Now, it has Jeff's grandparent's long dining table.

The black chairs were in the breakfast area and the white chairs were in the craft room. The black chair seats were pink and black stripes, but I recovered them all with fabric in my stash. Now, 2 are polka dot, one is checked and one is toile.

This long table and smaller chairs make this room seem much bigger.

I found a long enough piece of black fabric on hand to sew up a table cloth.

While I was sewing and measuring, I got out this $1 sheet from a recent garage sale and also sewed up a white tablecloth for when I want to switch out the black one.

I don't know why these pictures are so dark - I thought the flash was on....

In the breakfast room, we are now using an oak table and chairs that were in the attic.

While I was sewing up these bibs, my sewing machine quit.

I've tried everything I know to fix it but I think it is serious.

While I decide whether to get my machine repaired, if it can be repaired, or do some research on buying a new machine, Nina is letting me borrow her machine.

You all may of noticed that Nina and John do their sewing at my house anyway

She has my mother's old Singer, the machine I learned to sew on.

I made the tablecloths with it today and it sews like a dream too.

So thank you a bunch Nina!
