Happy New Year’s (for some and almost for others)!
I am starting 2015 off with a clean sewing room!!! Hip hip hooray!!
I spent most of yesterday cleaning out and rearranging and while there are still a lot of things in the room, I at least know what’s in there and where it is being kept.
I moved all the bigger pieces of vending equipment up to the attic (read: husband will be taking that up to the attic).
Here is the before photo…
And here are the after photos…
The cutting and batting storage area…
Scrapbooking counter…the underneath has been cleaned out but I still use what was left under there.
More scrapbooking supplies and some pattern/online store inventory, the shipping department and a new file cabinet…
Book shelf area..again there’s a lot there but it’s much neater than it was. I got rid of some old, old magazines that were piling up and using up precious space on that shelving unit…
I keep walking in there because I can’t believe how tidy it is and that there is actual empty counter space!!!! I am looking forward to creating in there in 2015.
I have decided what my word for the new year will be. It will be “wisdom”…as in using the wisdom I have and having the wisdom to ask when I need guidance whether that be from God, family or friends.
Here is the definition of wisdom…
wis·dom
noun
the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise.
Last year my word was “engage”. I do believe I took steps toward engaging other people which enriched my life throughout the year. This year I feel the need to rely on my own sense of knowledge and knowing what is right for me. I don’t profess to know it all or even a fraction of it all. I think this is about discovery and tuning in to thoughts and ideas that I have and not dismissing them but also figuring out how to call upon the wisdom of others. This sounds very deep, right? LOL!!
What is your word for 2015?

your workspace looks fabulous. I need to work on mine very badly after my couple of days
Marie Bostwick told me I could use her word “Attuned,” but I may reconsider.
What a bright and cheerful room. I bet you can’t wait to use it. I like your word for the year. I have 3 for the year – God is Enough.
Wow! Your space looks so neat and inviting . . . like it can’t wait for someone to come in and create in it!! LOL! I like your word. I’ve been spending quite a lot of time thinking on what my word for the year will be. “Finish” is what keeps coming to mind . . . and since it has implications (for me) in several different areas of my life, I’m thinking that’s the winner. LOL! 🙂
When I think of wisdom, I think of you! Your room looks great. I sure love reading your blog and I sure do love keeping up with you, I’m just a little bit behind the times. My word is “rebuild” but I have to say I’m not doing too well at it yet!
