Determination...that was the theme of this weekend.
With visitors gone, a hush has fallen over Chez Cardy. Some extra week and a difficult client week has left me a little flat. So to fix that, I made a list, and have been checking things off it.
The garden (or the dirt aspiring to one day become a garden) has seen the addition of a pear tree on the footpath, with some flowers at its base...the sweet little girl next door loves it! I have also recently planted a weeping cherry in my front yard and a crabapple out the back. Give them a couple of years and they will be lovely. No photos as small sticks aren't overly interesting!
Sorry to be boring, but here is a tidy room...
with a new fabric covered notice board and a mini quilt from a friend...
and another mini quilt from Lancaster, Pennsylvania (and a spot for my sewing buddy).
But the sewing room has been a hive of activity...sorting, storing, labelling...and the odd gasp when I find something long forgotten! Funny, it is a year this week since we left our old home and many of our belongings have spent most of this time in storage whilst renovations were finished. Each box unpacked has been like seeing old friends again!
I even tidied next to my sewing chair!
The positive to all this sorting has been a desire to really get in there and do some serious stitching.
After an arduous eighteen months, it is nice to feel my stitchy spark coming back!

Love the colour coding ribbon on the drawers!
Your sewing room looks so nice and organized but I hope it is soon filled with the mess of creativity!
Our sewing friends always need special places. :o) I always feel rejuvenated after a good sort out. Hope the fabric is flying soon!
I have serious tidy room envy...looks great! And I'm sure your garden will be really lovely. Hope you have a better week.
Would you like to visit the states and tidy my sewing space for me? Your's looks like an invitation for creativity!
There's nothing boring about a tidy sewing room. It's inspirational and a hope for all of us -- even those of us without a separate dedicated sewing room. We can hope for one some day. Your room looks like a happy place for stitching.
What a wonderful room...and I like tidy.....
woohoo........back to the old Cardy.....the room looks great........
Nothing like playing with your sewing "stuff" to get you motivated ....your sewing room looks fantastic! I was pleased when the " sticks" I put in the back garden got blossoms a couple of weeks ago...phew....I didn't buy dead things! Hope you can continue ticking things off your list...have a great week x
I enjoyed seeing your tidy room Cardy and totally understand why you posted pictures of it. A clean sewing room is a rare event indeed.
Happy sewing!
How fun.... some lovely things for you to play with and the room looks so pretty...

Snap, it's been a year since I moved too, and I'm only just finding my sewing mojo. You can come up here and tidy my room for me if you like, your room looks great.
I always love to see a cute sewing room!
A tidy sewing space and your mojo is back, I await the sewing spree!
Look at you getting all sorted and organised!! Good to see. Room look awesome. Can't wait to see what you're going to work on now.
Room looks great!
Glad you had fun unpacking, mine is coming out of storage in the next couple of weeks.....can't wait!
My sewing room is not for public consumption. It is truly the greatest unmanageable mess on Earth. We missed you on Friday night but I can see that you weren't bored. It looks great! You are now in high demand for your super organizing skills in my sewing room any time you like. You do like a challenge don't you!!???
Wonderfully sweet sewing room! I'm glad you were able to get settled in and get inspired to sew again!
It all looks ready for some serious work now. Good luck with your sewing.
