"Falling" Into Place

Well September was a LOOOOONG month. Why? Because I moved my sewing business into my home. I never new I had so much "stuff". It took me all month because I wanted to put stuff away as I brought it home and before I brought home another load. It worked for the most part until I got down to the very end. I am now set back up and organized in my basement. The front entry, used to be a porch is now my office/fitting room/scrapbooking room/cash register area. Needless to say I have had to get fairly creative. I'll have to take photos later and post them. Right now I have bazillion projects I have to do and then there are the ones I want to do. My daughter (10 years old) is standing behind me right now pestering me to go work on a project, she wants to help. She is also telling me I have gray hair which I generally give credit for that to my boys including my husband.

SEW . . . what are my next projects. For starters I have to make three t-shirt quilts,  a denim quilt, along with four fleece blankets, and the usual alterations, repairs and mending. The projects I want to do include a rainbow quilt found at http://www.hookedonneedles.com/2011/09/rainbow-quilt-picture-tutorial.html. I love a good stash buster especially when it involves chain sewing. Oh yeah! I have a need for speed. Let's see, I am also going to make myself my own Christmas presents. Yes, you read that right. I am going make three gifts for me, wrap them up, and one is going to be from me, the other from myself and the last from I. It'll be fun to see how my family reacts to that one.  Finally, my daughter and I are also going to work on a couple of 4-H projects. Don't worry I will share them all with you as we make progress.

'Til next time keep your creative fingers working.
