My Escape

I have turned the garage on my house into my craft room. The requirements were lots of wood, TV with satellite, lots of storage and good lights. I’m so happy I have a window. The floor is cork – my new favourite flooring. My previous work area was a windowless room in the basement. Here is the result…..


The little metal green sewing machine was my first at 8 years old. They don't make 'em like that anymore.


The back of the garage is a storage type room which was converted years before my sewing room. I go through it to get to my room. When my husband and father put it in, the floor was just plywood. I decided to paint it with what resembled old fashioned mats at the doorways. The old door in the picture was salvaged from an old house in St. John’s that my brother bought. I love it. The men making my sewing room couldn’t understand why I wanted it put back up, they just don’t get it……….
