19th century trade card
Greetings!
My poor Pfaff machine is still in the repair shop. I was going to make the best of it and spring clean the sewing room but I then got sick. Lucky got sick too with another ear infection...both ears this time. We slept a lot together. He is much better than I am but is being patient as I recover. I still walk him through the day (sick or not, must be done) and it's good for my lungs to get the exercise and move around.
Before all that happened, I was enjoying cleaning out the sewing room and going through every little thing. That's why I love reorganizing and cleaning.
And yes, I did get sidetracked and spent one afternoon cutting all the scraps from the container destined to be 2.5 inch squares. I don't even feel bad about being diverted. I figure it is all part of the process and now I have an empty large container and a box of 2.5 inch blocks ready to go!
I also like finding stuff I had forgotten about. I found this fabric
So more on organizing tomorrow but I need a nap now. Have a safe and happy day!
I looked at the video and like that block as well. I think I would like them set on point with setting triangles the same as the center squares. Amazing how straightening up leads to more mess. But it keeps me/us off the streets. Reading would be such a great hobby. Close the book, put it on the table, done.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're not feeling well. I just got over a respiratory flu and I thought the cough would never leave. It has taken about 3 weeks to get completely back to myself. I watched the video, that would be a great block to use up a lot of scraps.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear you and Lucky are not feeling great. There seems to be so much going around this spring and a lot of it is respiratory. Meanwhile that is a great block, thanks for the link. I know exactly what you mean about cleaning out the sewing room. It has a satisfaction about it and is interesting that cleaning nothing else has. As you say, we find things we've forgotten about too. Take Care, J
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Lucky are much better. Glad you have each other to comfort! You are right, organizing can yield the best results.
