Thanks for starting this post. I too needed the motivation to sort out my sewing area. Will give myself a week.

do you have a VFW near you? the ladies ,wives of our vets, sometimes take the donated yarn and quilting supplies and make lap quilts for the local Va hospital, i recently started to help the ladies here make some . the do it the first tues. of the month, one lady brought in 7 cocheted afgans , to donate so pretty, they say this lady can sit and make her afgans and hardly look at her hands doing the work, just a idea.

Thanks for posting your ideas and encouragement. I can donate the yarn to an area nursing home which is always looking for yarn for their patients. Great idea!

We loaded up our branches and flower garden cuttings and ended up bringing two loads over to the city recycling center. Then we did some window shopping and I got my flu shot. DH now has a honey-do job to install the curtain rod in our bedroom. Hehehehehe :-) He picked out readymade lightblocker panels for our bedroom window so he can sleep in later in the morning! Before we know what has happened, we'll have sunrise late and sunset early.....

Quilting lunch with my buddies tomorrow so I guess the clean up in the guest room is on hold until Thursday morning. Guilt might send me in there tomorrow evening, if I decide to NOT sew in the family room. Chances are, the guilt will not get to me! I've give you a report on Thursday. Quilt On!!!!!

Don't you know that the State of Denial is a very popular place? I visit there quite often myself.

well, this place is additive! I will admit to getting rid of clothing I can no longer wear -- code for it doesn't fit.
