I'm lucky - I get to set up a sewing room. Of course I have to share with the elliptical machine and the TV - but I get to have my own space. I have an arrow sewing table that works really well, but no cutting table. Right now I have to cut anything out either on the floor or the dining room table. Both are not ideal. So I decided that it's time to look for a cutting table.
You would think that this is easy - but it's not. At least not for me. I want something that looks decent (as it will likely be set up all of the time) and is functional. My first try: Ikea. I bought the table top fro the VIKA system: Ikea Table Top
along with these legs: Ikea Table Legs
I thought this would be great as you can adjust the height of the table! Well - what a disappointment. It wasn't as stable as I would have liked. So back it went. So now the search starts over. I had wanted Ikea to work since they're much more economical than anything that is specifically made for the sewing room. For instance, this table: Sewing Cabinet I love the way it looks - but it's out of my price range.
Sorry for the links, but I don't know how to show the picture on their websites directly. :/ Not that anyone is reading this, but if anyone has any solutions, I would love to hear about it!

And yet another sewing craft blog
I've been thinking about having a space where I can document all of my different craft/sewing/cross stitching projects over the years. So I've finally taken the step of starting a blog. I'm not sure how often I'll update - but I wanted to at least have a space ready for all of the fun things that I plan on making!
