Moving to a new space

I have been working from home for about nine weeks now, so I finally decided I needed a more ergonomic set-up than an armchair in my living room. Also, I got tired of hearing my daughter complain about the scattered paperwork. A week or so ago she wisely suggested that I should turn our sunroom into my art space since that’s where I stored a lot of my stuff anyway. If I just decided to use it, maybe I would get out of the habit of taking over the dining room table. As a result, over the last few days I brought my sewing machine table up from the little sewing room In the basement that I never use, and took a desk I never use in the sunroom to the basement.

My goodness it is amazing what one can overlook when simply passing through a space on the way to the laundry room! As I sit at my computer I am constantly irritated by things I don’t need, Or that are out of place. Every time I need a little break, something else gets tossed, put away, or mended. I have been meaning to tackle the filing cabinet and some storage bins for ages, but never had a real incentive to get it done - until now.

The sun room May be a longer term project as that needs to wait for a weekend. And to be honest, I’ll never do all my sewing there. I like to use the living room floor to cut out fabric, and the dining room table has enough space for me to set up my iPad to watch TV while I sew. Still, if I can tidy things away on the main floor instead of hauling them to the basement, it will be an improvement.

This is the ancient cast iron Husqvarna sewing machine I love to use.
