I don't know how to post pictures. Do anyone have any ideas? thanks
Hi Garysgal, to post pictures you hit the browse button where you are posting your reply. This will take you to your computer's insides and you find 'my pictures' or whatever your pictures are stored in. In mine I store pictures in folders either titled with the month and year or other titles like 'vintage machines', etc.
You click on your folder or photo. If you click on a folder that has your photo in it, you will have to go down and also click 'open' to open your folder. Then when you click on your photo and then click 'open' again, it will pop onto this site.
You will see to the left of the 'browse' button, empty space. You can click in there and write what you want to about each individual photo. Cool, huh?
:D
If I learned to do it, you certainly can. The best thing is that you asked. Let me know if I need to clarify any part of this, ok?

Thanks everyone for your help in posting pictures. I will take some and post them hopefully this week. Right now I am battling an abcessed tooth so as soon as I get that taken care of I should feel better and can get going.

Do you mean furniture castors or bigger wheels which can go on gates? I have two drop-leaf tables which are great for dining height but not for cutting - I put pieces of 2x4" pine timber on top and then have a spare piano hinged 3x6' table top left over from another project I made previously which I keep along the wall behind the actual cutting table, but it is there for easy expansion if I need it. I'm also a DIY-er. 8-)

Okay company is gone the fun is over and it's time for me to get serious.... so this morning I am busy! I knew it would get worse before it gets better. And I have way more books than I thought I did!!! I have given my daughters a lot of my books (already read) but darn, I love my historical research books.
:-( So the are staying. I'll work it out. Here are some pics of my new mess. I can barely get to my computer to send this post. :hunf:

I woulod keep those wonderful, big desks. One for your machine(s) and one, raised, for your cutting and pressing table. They both have great drawers for tools, thread, etc. The area that would be on the right side of your machine is where I keep the tools I need when I am sewing(and things I need for that particular item I am working on). I have a small lazy susan I keep there. Those bookcases would be nice for your quilting books and maybe have room for the other books you want to keep. I can't wait for you to post the finished room.

I don't have time to read through all of these wonderful ideas but plan to come back in the near future. Here is my idea: get some of the Stash Tamer boards that Mary Jane was selling. They are wonderful! I spent the better part of my free time for a couple of days and got all my stash onto the boards. Now my fabric is standing up instead of laying down and I can see what I have. My fabric is stored in a very large cabinet that is pretty deep. Before I had a hard time seeing what was in there but no more! Now I have it all standing up and can even put some project baskets in front of my stash and just pull them out of the way when needed!
