Ding dong the clutter is gone...smile


Yep, it's my closet the one in the previous post that was overflowing with fabric and notions and sewing machines and just about any gadget or item you might use in quilting or sewing. It's amazing all the things you find when you prepare to move. We are not preparing to move, but, it felt like all the packing and organizing is what we will do if you get a chance to move. I think I'm ready for a new how and of course, a quilting/sewing studio. It is a part of my life. I've tried various other hobbies, making cards, scrap booking, you name it, but, I always come back to fabric. Creating anything can be good for the soul. You are able to expand your self confidence in creative expression. When you make something practical and useful, like a quilt, that is an added bonus in this hobby that we are passionate about. Now I have all the projects I'm going to work on in boxes and labeled. Has everyone done a Dear Jane quilt? This is the Next one in a series, I guess, it's the Nearly insane quilt. I forgot all about it and can't wait to dig into it. I'm doing it in civil war reproduction fabrics. This is the fabric types in the boxes. Woohoo!! Now I can feel good about getting back to making quilts.

Organizing Cd's and Books are next!

Every once in a while a blog I read, turns on the light in my brain, that's a great topic to write about. I was so inspired by Bloomin' Workshop, where I read an interesting bit about a bookshelf and some of her favorite books. So, I thought I would show some of the disorganized bookshelf that soon won't be-disorganized that is. When I rearrange the bookshelf, I'll tell of my favorite books on my shelf.

I noticed when I was posting about the Kentucky State Fair, there were several blogs that wrote about their own state fairs and I don't know if I was the first to write about it or not, but, it appeared a lot of quilters share the passions, for quilting, books and their state fairs.

I've lately been nesting and recently was stuck in Costco while waiting for my tires to be fixed. These are a couple of things I came home with: A media shelf, which I'm still filling with CD's I'm downloading into my PC and will soon burn a back up of some of them so I can play them in the car, without the possibility of losing the original. I'm sure I'll fill this shelf up with many CD's still to store-off the floor. I think I'll get a shelf in the closet and fill it up next.

I also bought a chair for sewing. You really want to invest in a good chair with lumbar support and a lift so you can sit at the proper height while sewing.

Along with these items, I also got lots of groceries, enough to feed an army-cause that's the way it's sold there. The produce is the best at Costco, I think the perishables as a whole are the best.

Well, need to finish up my organizing, CD's and books.

Make it a Great Day!
