I do and I don't think I'm alone...
Here is my disaster corner. Our townhouse is not huge so I had to eek out a little space where I could. It works... for now.
The picture is huge so here is the link...

ok I have pattern books, scissors, stuffing, socks - the drawer to the right is all socks, ribbon and felt (which is spilling out after my daughter rummaged through it for a project). There is my button box on the floor. I have paper for drawing patterns, and then other basics - phone, lamp, hard candy, thread.
I know it's not glamorous but it's where the sock magic happens.... ooooOOOooo
Well here is the thing...
You have missed a LOT! I'm going to try over the next few blog posts to catch you up on my life and all of the stuff I have going on. Let's start with current events and move backwards. ;)
I made a ring pincushion (pc). My old pc was a pita and when I would stick a pin in it, it would usually slide away which meant I needed two hands and when you are sewing that is annoying.
So problem solved and I recycled. So eco!
Isn't it cute? I wanted to use cute fabric but all I have is felt and socks so... there ya go. A circle of fabric, glue, soda top and hair tie was all it took.

New shirt for Teagan
When I made the shamrock shirt I was supposed to make a ghillie (the soft soled shoes worn for Irish Dance) shirt but I have been lazy. I used an image I found online and cut out a 2 part stencil. Here is the finished product and the very happy owner.:D
