Some stitching and the new sewing room

I have been busy not only with yard work and house work, but stitching as well.  Below is Shepherd Bush's Potting Shed.
Here is Rain Rain from LaDaDa 
I am working deligently on Sanctuary by The Drawn Thread, I had started this years ago and I am almost finished with it.  My goal is to have it done by the end of May!! and I am well on the way to meeting this goal!!
This is the year of getting some of my WIP's finished!! 
Below is a shot of the new sewing studio (I was told to call it a studio not a room - for creative purposes!!)
As you can see we broke through a wall in the guest bedroom and built the room over the garage.
                                     
It still is quite a bit messy, but I can pretty much find anything I want, and someday I will organize the space a bit better.  Right now, all quilting things are in one area, beading in an area and so on, but I really want to be stitching so that is what I am doing now! 
 I even have a couch in this new space - of course it is for the cats to lay on and watch what I am doing.
This is a shot from the studio looking out to the guest bedroom 
Well, that is it for today - neighborhood yard sale tomorrow - so I have things to do to get ready for that.

Thank you for stopping by and I do thank you all for not deleting me from your blog reading.  I promise to be much better with this - I am getting back into computer mode and that may be because my life is settling down nicely and I have quit my job!!!

Until later  ---   Roberta
