Thread Shed.....Improvements

 
 
 
The Thread Shed today...
 
 
 
I am finishing up a garment today....
 
a jacket on the work table
 



 
 
On the right side of the room is the ironing board...
 
 





 
 
It is a Big Board that my favorite guy made
 
for me years ago...
 
it measures 65 inches x 30 inches





 
 
I just hand dyed a new cover for the Big Board...







 
 
A 2 yard piece of hand dyed fabric fits perfectly!
 
I was long over-due for a new board cover.
 





 
Gunnr loves to nap in the Thread Shed.
 
He is nearly healed up from his surgeries and back to
 
his same loveable self!
 
 
 
 
My son moved recently and gave me this bamboo cart:
 
 
 
I found this Steam & Press on Craig's list...
 
it is perfect on the cart with wheels!





 
 
The press sits nicely on the top of the cart...
 
 





 
 
I am into fusible applique....so this should get a work out!








That's the latest from.....The Thread Shed

Sea Lions.......Oregon Coast




Photography, FUN and Inspiration



Sea Lions at the Oregon Coast







Newport, Oregon







Sea Lions snoozing...







They bark like a dog...







The jetty is covered with Sea Lions...








No room on the docks for this guy...

so he floats in the water and sleeps nearby.














Sun Bathing...
