Thanks for everything, Sally Ann!

You know how it's hard to work when everything is a mess?  Well, you should have seen my work space.  Actually, on second thought, you should NOT have seen it...and I'm glad there aren't any pictures.  However, it will be hard for you to appreciate how great it looks and feels to me now without comparing the before.  Let me just say this, picture piles of fabric and stuff...EVERYwhere!  Looking at it now, I am almost satisfied.  Of course, the idea of a permanent office is what I look forward to, but this, THIS new 'organized', albeit in a dishevelled way, workspace is simply GLORIOUS!!
You'll notice I DID give you a picture of my old sewing box...I hated it.  But, what could I do?  I was opposed to going out and buying a new one at WalMart and none of the second hand stores had one.  However, total treat, this afternoon I transferred all my sewing stuff into my new second hand sewing box, as well as all the thread I bought a few months ago at Salvation Army from a bag to my old box. 
Maria brought me a second hand treat yesterday (along with a London Fog) and totally made my day.  (After which I made my day by facebooking her a message - "thanks a latte".  Haha.  I crack myself up:).  Thank you Salvation Army and Maria!
