Getting There

Finally, I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It has been a long time coming it seems---like all of March.
Can't believe how much "stuff" I have hung on to thinking
that I might need it someday or will make "it" up someday!

My two rooms are looking much better.  Eliminated three
metal shelving units in what we call "the cutting room".  It
is where all my fabric and supplies were stored.  All my
bolts of fabric now fit on one unit.  Have also moved all
my scrapbooking supplies, table, etc. out of my son's old
room and it is now my "guest"room.  However, I have
left my desk and old computer in there because I enjoy
working in there with the afternoon sun lighting up the
room.

If I hadn't been so embarrassed by my "mess" I would
have taken some before and after pictures.  But when I
finish up and get some of my quilts and stitcheries hung,
I'll post a picture.

Have really missed sewing so yesterday took a break and
worked on these "shoofly" blocks:













Added this one today:

















These are just the beginning blocks for the "Vignette in
Stitches" mystery quilt.  Issue two is already out and
I'm way behind.

Block two of the "Birdie Stitchery" is now completed
and Block three should be finished in the next day or
two if all goes well. 















Now, if it will just keep on snowing, raining and being too
cold and wet to work outside I might just get everything
inside finished before it's time to head out to begin
yard work!

Keep Smiling!

  3. I think by the sounds of things--you are moving right along and in the right direction--so good for you!!! I 'hoe' out a couple times a year it seems--yet there is still all this 'cutesee' things around to collect dust and take up shelf space!!! or I go out and cart more home to fill up the spaces or to add to a collection--Oh well--it's fun!!!
    Love your shoofly blocks and the birdie ones are coming right along--good for you!!!
    Hugs, Di and miss gracie
