March Goals and a new addition

It is that time again , time to set some goals for this month on the UFO list , hmm , well I am going back to a former UFO to hopefully get it off the list this month .
My SAHRR project which is now machine quilted so just needs a binding and label and it will be finished , I know I can complete this in March so this is #1 on my goal list ,
 #2 For this month was also on my list in January , what can I say I just did not get around to redoing the quilting but do have plans on tackling that job this month .
And for #3 I choose these nine patch blocks that I have been exchanging with some friends I quilt with on Tuesdays , time to get them made into a flimsy at least .
I am linking up with Carrie today so wish me luck in completing or making progress on these three projects .

 Now for the new addition , no I do not have a new kittie or a new puppy or even a new baby , if I had the latter it would be nothing short of a miracle :-) So what do I have you say , well , it is a new addition to my sewing room , I am over the moon happy about this gorgeous piece of furniture , have I kept you wondering long enough ? Ok here it is .Ta Da!!
Isn't it drop dead gorgeous ,this display cabinet came from a linen shop in Aberdeen Scotland , it is oak with a glass top and glass on the back and the drawers are graduated in size . What do you think ? Here is a little closer look at the front.

There are twenty drawers and I am sure it is no surprise they are now full , I did eliminate a lot of little storage containers so my room is much better organized . One of the neat things is my husbands ancestors came from Aberdeen Scotland in 1812 .This was my Valentine's Day gift from my sweet Hubby :-)
Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a wonderful day .
 hugs Sheila

    It's beautiful! I wish I had a room big enough to house something like that. My SAHR is on the list this month, too! You've done a beautiful job with yours.
