How I miss this space when I'm away from it... there is much daydreaming going on these days, mostly about the projects that I'd love to be finishing in the loft, and there are many! Some newness has been making it's way into the loft (non-fabric related, imagine that!) also making it difficult for me to pry myself away from this creative space and into the car to make it to the office space. Here's a peek...
I know, I know, I said non-fabric related, but I did make some new room for some um, new fabrics so that counts right? So in other newness... that new wire basket that sits on my work table is really a fantastic space saver. I first saw it in Country Living Magazine, then everywhere and finally bought one last week. It was a beast to put together, nothing lined up and nothing was straight so my muscles got a nice workout too... and when that failed (ha!) Rob strong-armed it into almost perfection. I'm loving it though.
The state of my single girl quilt is quite sad... notice the scissors poised to do some cutting... when I get a few spare moments that's what I'll be up to. I've also decided on a new method of organization for projects. Because I seem to be perpetually in a nineteen works in progress (I kid, it's only like sixteen) mode, I need a better way of keeping track of what I'm doing... enabling myself to start more projects and leave more unfinished, I realize this, but it seems to be at least a wee bit more organized. I'm keeping a quilt notebook (my students would loooove this as I strong arm them into organization via notebooks on a daily basis). Basically just a running reminder of what I'm doing, what the plan is and what fabrics I'm using... this might be a sign that I am getting, ahem, more mature in years. I celebrate.
I also bought one of those save your fingers from your rotary cutter "genies" as they were on sale at my local box store craft center. Really it's a gift for Rob as my last tangle with my rotary cutter didn't require stitches per se (I may or may not have taped it and gone back to sewing), but was very nearly enough to give the poor man a heart attack. So... safety first and I'm even newly remembering to put the blade cover on when I'm through cutting... improvements all around.
Some Stabilo markers fell into my Amazon cart... I have no idea how it happened (I'm equally surprised when the Reeses Easter eggs do at the grocery store) but they are much less expensive than these (eek, those are pricey) they're great and I'm loving them...while I plan more projects... old habits die hard.
And you, any newness going on around you these days? Happy Wednesday to you, isn't March so welcome?
