It’s taken me a bit and is far from complete but I have finally starting the transformation of J’s room into a sewing room. The room is very small and we plan to keep the bed in there for now so that leaves less options for layout.
This was my first layout. It was ok but far from ideal.
This is how I currently have it arranged. It’s more functional but looks awkward. I still have issues with the desk space. The only place for a glass is behind the sewing machine. You may be able to see the empty coaster there.
Truth be told, besides the bed, there is still some stuff that J has yet to move. So I am working around that as well. 
I have made use of the space though. These are a few journal covers I had rattling around my head. More to come on that as I continue working on them.
Also was making use of scraps I unearthed while rearranging. Years ago I wrote an article for Sew Somerset describing my process for these mini collages. Now the junk journal community calls them clusters. I can get behind the name change but the process is the same.
This bunch took me less than 30 minutes. 
I’ve also started work on a paper bag book. I haven’t made one in probably 10 years. I kind of burned out on it. However there is a baby boom around work. I thought I’d try my hand at making a few instead of the typical gift of a cute little outfit that baby fits into for exactly 57 minutes.
As you might be able to guess…we are empty nesting again. We brought Mini-me back to college for Spring semester.
When we walked into her room we were shocked that her cactus had grown with no light for a month. No water wasn’t surprising…but no light?!
I snapped a photo out the window on the most boring part of our drive. There is about an hour of basically this view after you exit the interstate.
