Still No Sewing Around Here

I am having a hard time getting started back up after the holidays. I did manage to finish one custom cozy last week and I cut up a bunch of sweaters. So I guess that is a start. I do the majority of my sewing after the kids go to bed so if I want to use my sewing machine I have to go out in the garage to sew. Our house is small and my sewing machine is loud so my options are very limited. Anyway, to make a long story short. It is cold here right now. It is hard to get motivated to go out in the unheated garage when it is 14 degrees outside. I guess I am going to have to suck it up because I have a lot of work that needs to be done and apparently those owls and cozies aren't going to sew themselves.

Here's the custom horse cozy I did last week.

Since I don't have a whole lot to show this week, I thought I would follow-up from this post a couple of months ago. Remember those picture frames. I finally finished them and my husband finished the chalkboard for our craft area. I made a felt board and two bulletin boards for the kids artwork. Now I just need to get them up on the wall. It will happen one day. I just know it will. Maybe my husband will read this post and feel sorry for me. Plus he is so much better at hanging pictures. Hint. Hint.

lol, I love the part about your hubbie hanging them...that horse cozy is beautiful and 14 degrees, yikes! I don't blame you for not wanting to go outside. Could you rearange a room to come inside? Perhaps the kids could do an independant project while you work on yours? Hope it gets better!! :)

if you can't find a place inside to do your orders then it's time for you to get a space heater or something. can't have you getting sick! love the horse cozy and the framed boards you made. they're too cute!

Love the craft corner - great idea! Your home looks so cozy and welcoming. 14 degress - that is some serious c.o.l.d! I'm lucky...once N is asleep, she'll sleep thru anything.

Hmmm...I never even thought about how loud my sewing machine is. But...14 degrees, I'd be sewing inside somehow!

I LOVE the chalkboard and your little crafty corner. They make me want to be creative!
