Fabulous Friday with Arrow Sewing Cabinets!

Hello everyone, we’re the folks at Arrow Sewing Cabinets/Kangaroo Kabinets, and we are so excited to spend Fabulous Friday with you, and to be a part of The Creative Connection!

We are all about helping women (and men) put together a fun and functional creative space. Our cabinets are designed to work hard, but look pretty too. We are always trying to find ways to put the “fun” in functional!

{Editors note: Facebook friends, this is the Olivia sewing table that I want for my sewing room. Isn’t she DARLING! I had a chance to visit her at Spring Quilt market and I’m hoping to bring her home someday!}

For that matter, we’re always trying to find ways to add a little “fun” to our workday too! We just recently finished a “barn quilt block” that will soon be gracing the entrance to our building. Thank goodness our resident quilter, Jo, came to the rescue and made sure our block was “pieced together” properly! Jo is an avid quilter, and actually sews at her desk during her lunch hour.

We also try to take advantage of Phil’s forgiving nature as much as possible by making him pose for silly pictures:

We’re very lucky that he’s a good sport!

We like to have fun with our fans on our Facebook page and our blog too. We just announced a “Tablecloth Makeover” contest on the blog, and every Friday we do a little giveaway on Facebook. In addition, we are also giving away one of our wonderful Gidget II’s every time we add 500 fans, and when we hit 5000 fans, we’ll be giving away an entire sewing suite -cabinet, chair, and cutting table! Head on over to our Facebook page to give us a “like” and find out how to join in on all the fun! It’s not all fun and games at Arrow though. There are two things we take very seriously – the quality of our Arrow and Kangaroo cabinets, and our commitment to customer service. Our goal is to make sure that all of our customers are 100% happy with our products. We want their creative time to be worry free!

Thanks for sharing a little of your Friday with us – we hope you all have a fun and creative weekend!

We are honored to have Arrow Sewing Cabinets as a Program Sponsor of

THE CREATIVE CONNECTION EVENT.

PLUS!

BIG NEWS!

They are giving away a GIDGET ll SEWING table RIGHT HERE!

Wednesday Wisdom … Giveaway Edition!

Sewing:

A creative mess is better than tidy idleness.

~Unknown (but I could have written it!)

I bet you can relate.

Whether it's sewing, painting, knitting or any creative endeavor, you're bound to get in the "zone". When I get there, the mess (and the creative juice) flows. You know how it is, you work on one thing, then start on another and pretty soon it's a disaster of epic proportions. Felt flowers, patterned paper, thread, fabric. What was I making again? It was that bad. In an effort finally curb the clutter, I decided to re-organize my office/creative space, including buying new shelves and containers. I was making pretty good progress (HUGE sized mess) when I started to feel sick. So sick in fact that my creative space/office has been sitting in this messy, disaster state for almost two weeks! And darn! Those magical,cleaning,organizing fairies didn't visit my space and tidy it up!

Where are they anyway?

But something equally wonderful did show up on my doorstep while I was sick…

This DARLING book was delivered and my day was instantly brightened.

Oh the Easter dress I could sew for my Emma …

There are 21 FABULOUS sewing projects to make for little girls and for those of us who are little girls at heart! I had a great time marking the things I want to sew for my girl, plus there's even a great idea for a desk cover that I may use for my new craft desk … If I can decide on one!

If only the magic fairies would PLEASE show up,

I could get right to it~

NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY!!!!
