This morning I was looking for a large piece of paper with fabric yardages and strips stapled to it that I am using for Christmas aprons. Looked pretty much everywhere and decided to give up and just take the rest of the strips I had cut off and start over with the matching. Moved one last piece of material on the back of the couch, and there was the list-on a small piece of paper and no strips stapled to it. Guess I just imagined I was that organized. Oh, well... that's my reality and I think I am stuck with it. :lol:

I cleared off my sewing cabinet on Friday and I found all sorts of things that I've been looking for since the last time it got cleaned. :roll:
I'm machine quilting charity baby quilt and didn't want to quilt anything extra into the back of it. Some child has a quilt that has a 4" square quilted into the back of it. :shock: :oops:

In my mind I retraced my steps I have taken for the last 2 weeks. All of a sudden I saw this green storage bin with Christmas scraps and thought maybe they were in there. I was too lazy to get up and look then; besides the dog would have taken my sleeping space on the bed. Sure enough I just went to the basement on the furnace side, looked in that bin and there they were; along with a bunch of fat quarters I have no idea why I put them there. Why did I do that? It was Christmas scraps. I wasted so much time and energy just because I did something in a hurry. Grrrrrr.....
After I do something like that I think I'm about ready for the rubber room so I can go in there and just scream and no one will know I've done anything soooo dumb. Now you can take a deep breath, blow it out, relax and start the project you were going to do with the now found fabric. Here we can all laugh about doing these things because most of us are guilty of doing the same thing at one time or another.
You're among friends here...LOL
