I had the privledge of spending a wonderful evening with THE ARTIST LISA!, and her daughters at the art gallary on Friday evening. Here's a picture of her standing next to one of her paintings displayed at the gallary (glad I had my camera with me). It was a wonderful experience for me and an enjoyable evening. After the showing we went for coffee/sewing talk and our evening was priceless. I just love talking and sharing with her. She is such an inspiration!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivkwuPjgdN2xwXpJuZALeGy9q733QBFo2Jxrwo6j3n6nsCG7k097skyOUxbiVx9GLPkF-rn_cR8vJTOaUxVCcImm8cB2UYygCLLi6O3-ECtGayl00hk-w1x8z07FlVYN7NfV1870HgPWM/s320/THE+ARTIST+LISA.JPG)
I've also been working on one of my sewing related goals of beefing up my sewing room. I put up this shelfing unit yesterday (I NEED EVERYONE IN BLOGLAND praying with me that this thing stays up on the wall.) I am not a carpenter, but I finally got them up with much agony. So I was able to go

(Notice the cake tin on the bottom shelf; it belonged to my
great-grand mother, Jessie Lee Thomas - I can't bear parting with her button tin so I gave it a place on the shelf.)
The cost of shelving units was complements of my sister Brenda. Thanks again Brenda!
Next I plan on putting up a colorful pegboard that will help me organize my space better by hanging up rulers, scissors and things that I need handy all the time.
I haven't started on my next sewing project yet cause all my time this weekend has been spent on the shelves. But I did make a fabric purchase this weekend - I bought a pink striped pin cord fabric for a pants suit. My next project will be something easy though like a knit tee shirt. Lisa and I have a "SEW-A-LONG" planned for next weekend - more about that later.
