Doing some work on My Garden and my Creation Station

I was quite shocked the other day when I walked into my Creation Station to find it looking like this. I am aware it was getting to this stage but just kept turning a blind eye.

During the Christmas season, this becomes a dumping ground for items that I "just want to put out of the way". No way any sewing can get done in here at this rate so time for a quick tidy up.

That done, I set up my machine to do some sewing but alas, an error kept coming up on the screen.....aaaarghhh!!! Might be time for a service.  Thank goodness I have my Pfaff as a back up.

With that all set up it was time to do some sewing........but not before I unpicked one of the blocks that was annoying me.


Yep, all those one inch strips had to come off because I had not sewn them on correctly and it became very evident once I had sewn this block onto the completed rows.

After I sewed it back together and reattached it to the completed section, I started on the first block of row 3.

And that is all I got done in about 3 hours while also watching a few episodes of "Fringe" (Season 3). The fact is, I had to keep leaving the room as it got too hot and I had to retreat to the living room and sit under the fan for awhile which is not a bad thing as it gave me a chance to also catch up on some blogging.

  2. Darn that reverse sewing - I have just had a little bit to do too! I'm sure your Creation Station looks better now - it gives it a whole new look when you tidy up doesn't it??

  7. I love seeing other "messy" craft areas, it means I am not alone.
    However it does get to the stage when you have to tidy up, well done.
    Love seeing all your blocks

  12. Creation station is a term I might need to steal. My sewing room looks like Dresden during WWII. :(
