Oh, Look!

I have a desk!

Or maybe a sewing table?

Desk / Sewing Table ...
I've been in a bit of a funk lately, not inspired to sew much. When I get that way I try to make myself DO something, anything to make myself feel productive. And that often results in a cleaning and/or organizing.

I have a really nice desk on the bridge upstairs, but I found that I was always wanting to check something on the laptop while in the kitchen on the main floor or downstairs in the studio. A couple years ago, when I needed the computer to write and modify pattern instructions as I made a sample quilt, I set up this table in the sewing room. And that's where the laptop resided until the unfortunate scamming incident this summer -- I was too upset to even write about it at the time but it has definitely contributed to my funk.

The laptop went to the fixit shop and the desk began accumulating a variety of detritus.  It was about time to make room for the laptop again, but that involved filing about 3 month's worth of receipts, and trashing expired coupons, and tossing dried up pens, and finding a home for last year's files, and well, you get the idea.

Now that it's cleared off, however, I'm thinking it might make a nice sewing table. See those little silver dots on the leg?


The table height is adjustable so it would be easy to lower it to a comfortable position and it would be the perfect place to put my Pfaff with the dual feed to do the quilting on these Christmas table runners.


I think I may have just talked myself into it!

Hmm, now where to put the laptop? Stay tuned ...

  1. Sewing machine is more important than a lap top, well most times. Rearranging always leaves me with the Why-didn't-I-think-of-this-before thoughts.

  2. You know, a TV tray is just the right size for a laptop....
