Ok, so I’m officially changing my resolution. I resolve to post no later than Tuesday. Ahh, now the pressure is off — at least until the posts start creeping towards Wednesday!
Yesterday I set out with great intentions. I’ve got one quilt to bind, two to baste, and a final Christmas design that I want to work on before my last shred of Christmas spirit evaporates.
But when I walked into my sewing room yesterday morning to find a needle, this was the sight that met my eyes…
Plenty of buttons, thread, and fabric scraps, but no needle. Oh, and in case you are wondering, my sewing machine is shrouded in a shirt that my daughter would like me to alter. She’s not very subtle.
And finally, as I decided to leave the room, I caught sight of my fabric closet…
Enough said.
Faced with a huge mess and my own organizational shortcomings I decided to postpone the binding, basting, and blogging in favor of clearing the decks. So I rolled up my sleeves, took a deep breath, and… called my sister.
One hour and a bit of tough love later, I finally got to work.
This is what my sewing room looks like this morning…
and…
and finally…
Let the games begin.
