Way too much yarn to knit in this lifetime. What was I thinking?<br />Then there's the whole studio clean up that should be done. You know how bad that situation is! Problem is I'd rather create than clean!Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284332651721553766.post-74356880531652511372015-03-26T10:55:37.631-07:002015-03-26T10:55:37.631-07:00My problem is in my own head I would like to have ...My problem is in my own head I would like to have fabric stored only in the file cabinet and not in the drawers. Keeping my sewing area from overflowing requires returning fabric pieces back to the file after pulling pieces for the next project.

Instead of sorting through my UFO's, every day I'm taking one from the top of the UFO tote and finishing that one OR donating OR throwing it. I have tons of stash and obviously it's more fun to start something new!!! So, as an incentive, every day...as soon as I finish my one UFO and if I have time...I start/work on something new for spring.

Good luck with your Scream Clean.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830815374262746519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284332651721553766.post-726831676829317712015-03-23T13:56:26.264-07:002015-03-23T13:56:26.264-07:00I've started in fits and bits, but not gotten ...I've started in fits and bits, but not gotten very far. I keep saying I need to do at least an hour a day---hmm---well hasn't happened EVERY day. For instance today. After the gym and vacuum, I headed for the sewing room (badly in need of cleaning) to try to finish a car seat cover project. It's almost done, and I could probably finish tonite, but I'll do some weed eating outside and then watch Peggy Sagers. All in due time I guess.

It's been on my to-do list for some time now.SilverMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805572131213530740noreply@blogger.com
