And, wow!

… And we’re back.

Sorry it took a little longer than expected, folks. You write a lot! And converting all those posts and replies to the new forum format took a little time.

We have some new things around here. I’m sure Todd will talk about it a little bit in the coming days. We have a few more things planned, too.

It is lovely looking at all the pictures of beautiful craft rooms online, but I have been reflecting that having a comfortable space with table and chair at the right height is massively more important than a beautiful vintage office chair (sigh, the beautiful 150s one will just have to stay lusted over on ebay!).

I just wanted to add in here, going with the higher cutting tables, if possible, go with a higher sewing table, to be able to sew, standing up, if possible.
