Faye is a wonderful woman that I admire so much! She is the ultimate knowledge of the past wanting to push through to the future. I love her enthusiasm in teaching young adults how to find their creative skills and get some long lost attitude of being resourceful back out into mainstream thinking. Ideas, direction, and encouragement are her forte! She is in charge of our 4-H sewing club where Lily is excited to learn and grow in her sewing skills. Faye is also head of the Home Grown section of 4-H and I can't imagine all the things that woman must know!
Faye and I were talking a while back and it was so funny how we women think sometimes. She was talking about having this sewing room (building) finished so everyone could come and enjoy it. She was remembering little jobs that needed to be done and just wanted to get into the building so bad that the little jobs could wait. I was trying to get a point across and said, "Faye, be like a professional for a minute. If a professional wanted to move into a workshop, all the equipment would be where they wanted it and everything would flow for work purposes. Wait a few more weeks and have it right, and exactly they way you want it to be...purposeful and finished. Then you won't have to wait and worry about things getting done." I think we should all make our space important and we will feel productive not scattered. 
And here it is...that wonderful sewing room that is ready to be a place for teaching and learning. It's such a great thing!
I don't even know what this machine does but it's cool! And a little tip from Faye - when you are sewing and get all that lint inside the machine, don't use canned air to blow it out, use an air mattress pump. The tip is small and can reach those little places and the pressure is perfect, besides don't we all have one those?

Kudos to you, Faye for your wonderful contribution to young, sewing minds!
