I am writing this post as i wait for the glue to dry on my Christmas wreath for our front door. I have three glue guns in a box somewhere and I can't find any of them...so i had to use the dreaded white glue!
I am taking this time to reflect on how i want my new crafting/sewing/upholstering room to designed:
I am going to need alot of shelving and labeled containers so i can find something (like my glue guns) quickly and easily...
I am envisioning my fabric hung on hangers on a clothing rack system similar to a dress shop. I haven't decided whether i will organize it by type or by colour...
I want a bulletin board type wall thing so i can display my ideas, size charts and notes...

I want to get a really hot iron with lots of steam and i will need a new ironing board for that.

I want lots of light so i can see when i am working on my projects...
I would love a large work surface so i can roll out a bolt of fabric in one shot and can easily cut out the pieces to whatever it I am making....
I want a spot for my industrial machine, my serger and maybe a new baby - some type of embroidery machine where i can design patterns on my laptop and send them to the machine to be embroidered...
Stating the obvious, i am also going to need some drywall and flooring (preferably laminate or vinyl)...
At this rate, my hubby's man cave is getting smaller by the second!
Ok now back to reality...i am going to have to set up something make-shift until we can finish the basement which will be sometime next year because i have a ton of sewing to do!

With everything going on, I forgot to post this before Xmas...here is an update on my wreath:
It took 72 hours for the white glue to dry. It was the longest 3 days ever...L kept trying to play with the "pretty Christmas tree" and I had to do my best not to do the same, but i think in the end it was worth it!
