This is what I need to figure our today. All of these have to find somewhere to be... other than the middle of my work table. Three of them I might be able to wedge in somewhere, Locations for the other two have yet to be determined. Earl said he would build some shelves for me where we just removed the propane heater. Our shop is like one of those puzzles where you have to move one square to move the next. Hopefully I will be able to make some order here.
In the rear there, are some motorcycle jackets I need to sew patches on. I work at a motorcycle resort and occasionally, that happy chore follows me home.
I am grateful to have a large place to sew. I never had that until recently. When we moved to NC in June of 2003, our house was only 12 by 24 feet. We were tiny house people before they had that show on television. My one and only sewing machine lived in a box in the corner with some stuff piled on top.
My husband set to work to build a 18 by 26 shop. It took about a 5 months but when he was done, I promptly confiscated 6 foot of the end against the house to put in a "real" bathroom and utility room for the washer and dryer I hoped to acquire. I'm not complaining about going to town to do the laundry. I quickly discovered a cleaner who did drop off laundry service and so I did. Then I went to do the shopping and picked up the clean and folded stuff on the way home. About 2 months later my husband commented, "When did you start ironing my blue jeans?" I was busted.
Eventually we acquired a washer and dryer from our friend Larry in Florida. We were still working on our slow move north after hurricane Charlie. It took a year to sell what was left of our house down there and we made multiple trips with two vehicles with two utility trailers. My take over of half of "his" shop is another story.
I had better get busy, I also have to work the evening shift at Iron Horse today. Time's a'wastin!
