(Tipmas) State of My Worktable

A clean slate waiting for me.

Good Morning - Happy Christmas Eve. This is the Christmas I finally got organized and got the shopping, wrapping, and decorating done early enough so that I can enjoy the day - which means a leisurely coffee with my husband, a zoom call with my some friends, and then the grands for Christmas eve dinner. At some point, I also have meal prep to do for tomorrow for Mike and me. And I can get some handstitching in by the tree.

So…the cutting table is clean (as is most of the workroom). I have a clean slate waiting for me next week, but for today, it’s rest, relax, cement some memories - and have some fun. The break will be good for you.

The table itself is a kitchen base cabinet unit and a countertop. It’s just about perfect for the space - both in functionality and in scale. If your day includes some solitary stitching…grab some bright colors and try something new - get lost in your sewing.

I’ll be back here tomorrow. I hope you get everything you want from Santa.

Linda
