My Quilting Adventures ~ Making Room ~ Day 1

Maestro says, "What is Happening Here?" 

Me: " I know, Maestro. There is something big going on.

We have to make room for the big new addition to our tiny little home.

Do not worry.  

Your humans are not going anywhere .
No new cats are moving in.

No cats will be left behind.
Life is good." 

Maestro:  "But, Mommy, where is my favorite ironing board nappy place?"

Me: I moved it to the dining room again." 

Maestro: " Mommy, where is the sewing machine?

I want to play with the bobbins." 

Me:  " In the dining room again." 

Maestro: "Mommy, there is stuff all over the cutting table that does not belong.

I want to play in the fabric!" 

Me: "In a few days, that cutting table will be gone, too."

Maestro: "What!?  You are disrupting my happy sewing room.  

Well, I can just claw this fabric cube.

At least that is familiar."

Me:  "Maestro, you know mommy does not want you shredding the fabric storage cubes.

Look what you and your sisters have done to the one next to it." 

Maestro:  "Why?

Things were good the way they were."

Me:  "Things will be good again. 

Even Better. 

Soon we will have a nice big long arm in this room

with a soft fluffy quilt in the making."

Maestro: "Can I sleep on it?"

Me: " I would rather you did not although I think I will not win that cat fight.

So ... well ... okay.

As long as you do not scratch it!"

Maestro, turning her back on me: 

"Open this window.

The sun is nice and I want to watch the birds.

What are these flowers doing here?

They are blocking the view!"

Me:  " It is too windy right now. I will open it later if it is warmer.

The flowers are my new sewing room window boxes and I like them.

They are staying. Get used to it." 

Me, in the dining room looking at my old sewing corner,

soon to be my new, revised sewing corner and thinking: 

"This is going to take a little getting used to.

How am I going to fit this all in my little house?

It will be better.

It will be much better.

I will make it all work!

I think I need to add a window box full of pansies outside

my new old sewing window.

Pansies always make me smile.

As does petting the kitties.

Me:  "Afternoon rest time, kitties!  Come to Mommy."
I opened the window." 

Maestro and Nutmeg:  "Thanks, Mommy."

Tonight I will uncover my sewing machine 

and sew some easy blocks. 

More making it all work soon ... :)
