MargeD hope all goes well with your shoulder surgery. I've had back surgery and having an MRI on my hip in the morning. If it's not one thing it's two but I can walk slowly and with a limp…LOL!

I haven't gotten to sew since before Thanksgiving due to Holidays and remodeling the back bedroom into my sewing room, so much painting and putting in flooring and getting things arranged UGH. Finally today 1/6/15 I was actually able to sew on a small quilt for about an hour. I have so much to sew but even less time to sew it. One of my daughters brought me a HUGE box of scrap materials for Christmas but of course my washer went out Christmas Eve, so I'm in the process of washing each load 3-5 times to deodorize it all. I'm just glad the New Year is here and everything is calming down now. So I can start up and continue to sew. I have missed it sew much!

I posted a note right on my machine to clean that baby and change the needle. I've been doing some applique and I knew the needle was a bit dull. Now I just have to take care of the hardwood floor and rug in there and I'm good to go for another year. lol.

I've enjoyed reading everyone's stories here and I'm so glad I'm not alone in sorting through things this time of year, knowing I'll mess it up again. That's what our spaces are for, right? Creating is messy...so be it. Enjoy your sewing spaces! :)

QUOTE=tropit;7034526]You've got me inspired. I really need to do that. I had a project spread out on my sewing that I was working on over the holidays. My husband then decided to work on house and left sawdust, nails, and other debris all over my beautiful project. I've been too dismayed to get in there and clean it up and reorganize. I'd better do it...it will only get worse if I don't. ~ C. |
I've been doing a deep, thorough, ruthless purge of everything that I don't want, need or use t in my sewing room. My word for the year is "embrace" which includes embracing free space, resting room for my eyes, and creativity that doesn't happen in chaos. I love getting rid of stuff. I used to be the opposite, having grown up with a (neat and organized) hoarder. Too much stuff is a burden, no matter how neat I try to make it, so this year I sing the little phrase "let it go"! :)
I will try to post pictures when it's at its best. Might last an hour, but I will have pictures to prove it CAN look and feel really good. |
