Adventures in Vintage Resales... fka adventures in baby-sewing

For this three day weekend, Mike and I embarked on a project - turning our master closet into a family clothes closet. This part of the house sees the family activity: there are two full baths, one with shower, one with tub, connected by a short hall with the closet. My washer and dryer are in the shower bathroom, so the closet is three feet from the dryer. It is unusual, but this section of the house was an add-on by the previous owners. The kids dress in these baths every morning and bathe there in the evenings. The girls' bedroom is off the shower bath, but the boys are all the way in the front of the house. For the last few years, all the current clothes were in my master bedroom to ease dressing, but we are overwhelmed by laundry baskets. I am not 100% done, but 5 out of 6 sets of clothes are now relocated. The kids are in cubbies, like you buy at Lowe's, with the cloth cube baskets. Sunday things are hung. We already had a decent setup as we installed Closetmaid rods/shel...

It has been too busy to post - it has been months... Work, kids, husband, baseball, I barely have time to get laundry done, much less sewing, but I have been working on the blocks from The Farmer's Wife Quilt book, Swoon quilt pattern and a few other minor things. When I get the chance to take some pictures, I will. It does feel great to post a bit again and catch up reading on ya'll's blogs.
