Hey loved ones,
I'll update in detials as soon as I can. For now no fear, just faith. I had a black out episode on Sunday. I've also had a low grade headache for a month now. I'm back in the hospital. Still no cancer in body as reported before. However, all the previous scans were from the base of neck down. Now that's MRI'S are being done on the brain they've found some tumors and swelling on the brain. Even talk of radiation on my full brain.

There's lots more but for now absolutely no fear; just faith. He's the same God that worked miraculously before and He'll do it again. Prayers are welcomed but prayers of thanksgiving. He's already heard and answered our prayers. Now it's just rejoicing time. I appreciate you all so much. God is still good! Talk to you soon!

This was my sewing space for 3 months before I got my sewing studio. It was 2 folding card tables, a cardboard cutting mat, sewing machine, serger and mannequin. The tables served as both the cutting area and sewing area.

before and after Before & After: A Small Nook Becomes a Sewing Station by Grace Bonney Keeping sewing supplies and small craft supplies organized can be an uphill battle.

Wanna sew more often? Or maybe just get started? Having a designated area where you sewing machine is up all the time; super easy to access is a great place to start.

The area doesn't have to be large and extravagant. All that's needed is a small cubby with your machine, a chair, some sewing aids and your off to the races. Having your machine easily accessible as opposed to packing and unpacking it each time will inspire your creative juices. Give it shot. Tell me how it goes. Share any ideas or pics of your cozy sewing nook.

SN: here's my sis utilizing a corner of my dining table.
