Possibilities
Without fail, I would wager that each day we are given presents us with possibilities. Hmm. Why didn’t I think of that before today.
I have been nestled into my studio for decades. In so doing, there have been wood projects, doing a Santa autopsy, too many quilts to count and millions and millions of stitches on the sewing machine I have been using. Everything always seemed to hum along just fine.
This forenoon as I was going to begin piecing a quilt top together that I would end up donating. . . nothing seemed logical. I had no working surface to the left of my sewing machine that was elbow height. The two church tables suffice in the planning and the bringing of stashes to the forefront and doing finishing work of the embroidered items. They are also ten inches higher than the sewing needle in the machine. Perfect height to save the back when standing over them when cutting fabric.
For several minutes I was content finishing my coffee that I had brought down with me to the studio. Swiveling around on my sewing chair, I spied a heavy duty card table that was stored behind the furnace. So . . . did I jump right up and pull it out from behind? No! That card table had been behind the furnace before I had put up the shelving for additional storage. I needed to get organized. Stored items on the shelves were put on the church tables. The three shelves, items from Menards, made out of some composite and lots of glue were heavier that I remembered. The metal brackets needed a hammer to jar them loose. At last the card table could be slid out.
The old Filter Queen vac was put to use to capture a few unwanted webs. I keep the vac plugged in 24/7 for just such spur of the moment of moving items.
I could not believe how heavy that card table was. After it was dusted, the four legs snapped right up for service. I did not put off replacing the shelving unit and that which was stored on the shelves. I don’t look the other way, generally what needs to be done . . . gets done.
Mission completion. Who could think of trying this new configuration out! I was pooped. KNUJ was shut off, all the lights went out and the thrill of having a work surface to the left of my elbow will be experienced . . . perhaps tomorrow.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
