I was just telling Michael that I am getting so eager for our baby and wish I could do something with all of this happy energy. Perhaps this anticipation is partially the cause of our latest cleaning, reorganizing and weeding out frenzy. So far this month we have cleared out a room & closet, re-organized 2 rooms & 3 closets and are getting ready to have our first garage sale. The picture on the right represents a portion of the "To Be Sold" pile (my
apologies if
any one's gifts or hand-me-downs are shown!) It feels good to be streamlining some of our rooms and will also feel pretty nice if it puts a little extra spending money in our hands.
The picture to the left
represents a recent upgrade. The make-up table and sewing machine shown belonged to my grandmother, and are now in our downstairs bedroom. I get to use the make-up table every day with happy memories of watching my grandmother use her curlers and lotions. I am planning on taking my Aunt Ardith up on her offer to teach me how to use the sewing machine, since I am pretty daunted by all of the pedals and wheels right now. While my grandmother made her "mother/grandmother of the bride" dress, ornate aprons and coordinating outfits for her grandchildren - I will be thrilled to make a table runner or hem a skirt!

The make-up table looks great! Grandma Kremkow would be proud that you will be enjoying it and gaining so much pleasure from using it.
It will be fun too when you figure out how to use the sewing machine (with all the pedals & wheels!) and carry on the home-sewn traditions!
