Going Sew Crazy

Spring Cleaning

My craft/sewing room is a mess. I like to cram as much stuff into it as I can. The other day I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to just stop what I was doing, and organize.

I started with the fabric closet.

Lovely, huh? I must first state that I had already taken a load of fabric out and that doesn't include the overflowing chair-full in the corner, or the cutting table. I am also trying to figure out how the Lost DVD ended up in there? Was I jonesing for some Sawyer goodness and just stuck it there? Anyway, I am making my fabric nice and pretty. Like this:

(And I need a new ironing board cover, eww!) It's taking me forever. Mostly because my baby can't come into the sewing room with me. She snuck in here a couple of months ago, and get this, climbed on a can to the chair, to the cutting table, all the way down it, and was playing with the open rotary cutter and an overturned box of pins. Laughing. Since then, we keep it locked. When she does get in here, she tries to touch everything dangerous. Turn machine on. Scissors. Seam ripper. Try to pull iron on head. She has tried to do it all. So this project is only happening at naptimes and night. I may never get done!

Have a great day ya'll!

 

Wow.

Thanks so much for the retro potholder love. I am so glad I got to share it with ya'll! If you made one, I would love to see it.

I have so much to catch up on as this past week was a wash. Finley had the flu. It's horrible when the big kids are sick, but the baby, I feel so bad for her when she's sick. We had a lot of cuddly time. She's feeling much better now and is back to being her usual mischeivous self.

This past weekend we got a chance to go to a homeschool conference. We went mostly to look at curriculums (curricula?) and didn't attend any classes. We have an idea of what we like. I think. We haven't had a ton of time to talk it over since then.

Anyway, while in Memphis, I tried a new quilt shop. Sooo glad I did. Check it out!

Moda Swell and Sweet! Two of my favorite lines evah! So excited to get some yardage. I like the dresden plate ruler. Seems very practical. The gumdrop pillows I want to make for the bonus room.

More sweet, and Sock Monkeys. Paige had an outfit made of the sock monkeys when she was 4. I'm not sure about who makes the other two, but who doesn't love cuckoo clocks and deer?

The rest of the weekend was great, but I am looking forward to a very fun and productive week!

Have a great day ya'll!
