Temporary work space
Well, you didnt think that not having a sewing machine would keep me from sewing, did you? Instead, I took this time to finally try my hand at some English paper piecing hand sewing, something that has been intriguing me for about a year, but that I keep putting off trying.
I brought a small ziploc of supplies with me, some nice thread, new needles, paper hexagons, and a few squares of fabric.
Unfortunately, the instruction book I had wanted to use has been returned to the library, so I searched the internet instead. Also unfortunate was that I currently have one lamp, so the lighting was very bad. My only piece of furniture is my bed, so I used it as a table while I sat on my one and only pillow. Luckily, I do have internet, so I watched Project Runway while I worked.
As you can see I got 2 hexies sewn together and then I became confused, but I have since watched some youtube videos and I think I know how to add more on now . Plus, I think having an iron will help. And scissors with a blade larger than one inch.
Still, its good sometimes to branch out, and attempt to do something with limited resources. Kinda fun, kinda frustrating, but a good learning experience! And now I’m extra excited to have my sewing machine again. 
Your apartment looks so great! Find the best coffee place in Nashville with all of the vibe and then I will fly down to see you! Love you so much, Aunt Kiki
