My sewing studio

view from the door

believe it or not, it's 11 am but looks like nighttime due to storms

My $100 cabinets I scored on Craigslist !!

5' island cutting table and pegboard ruler rack

For some reason, I felt this urge to start a blog......for the life of me, I don't know why. I am no one special, just an ordinary person. An ordinary Joe, except my name is Jeannie. There - that's how I came up with my blog name.

I'm just looking out the window of my sewing studio - it's pouring down rain.  Good thing I love being in my studio. I think that's what I'll talk about today - my sewing studio.

My hubby built this room for me in our new house. Finished it first before anything else - he is such a keeper!

here's what he did: a 10' counter for my 2 machines, with cutouts for the cords to drop thru
A built-in wall cabinet for my embroidery machine thread
a 5' island style cutting table with tons of storage and pegboard on the back for all my rulers,
11' of solid oak cabinetry - top and bottom - we scored these on Craiglsist for just $100. He had to remove them (they were built-ins) but  did we ever get a deal!! I almost peed in my pants when I saw them !!   :)
Put my computer in for me, including a printer
Ran lines for a TV, installed a CD/radio player, hung up a large bulletin board
Hung a wall mounted thread rack that holds 120 spools
Made and hung up a Design wall
I also scored the antique Singer machine (on the top of the cabinet) on Craigslist for FREE - hubby cleaned it up. It was built in 1926 and is a Model 66.
Hope you enjoy the pics
