Does the rain suck the life out of anyone else's cleaning mojo? You'd think being stuck inside makes me want to clean it, but no, I just get grumpy. And the garbage stays at the back door. I love being able to take the garbage and dirty diapers out to the bins, when it's dry and I can do so in bare feet. Anyone else?
Ok, done complaining. I keep thinking: Soon I'm going to live in a desert and never get to enjoy the moist air, green everything, and rain.
But I really came to post a link for all those of us who have fabric isssues. My sister-in-law on the paulsen side is a fabulous seamstress and has a blog--she's not a hard core blogger, but has some good stuff. Anyway, it just so happens that she's doing a "stash busting" series with ideas to use up all those fabric scraps. I've learned two things from it: 1) I should do the project notebook idea for all those projects I've in my mind associated with scraps and 2) I feel much better about my amount of fabric when looking at how much some of these ladies have. That said, most of my stuff is junk. I may need to re-do what I've done.
Well, happy rainy thursday to you all.
I just came across a blog last night in which the writer took out her stash of fabrics, pulled a few that coordinated for a quilt, then had a friend or two go through her stash and get more that they also thought coordinated. Then they worked on quilts for charity, having a quilt day at their church (not LDS, I don't think). It looked like a great idea for those of us with random fat quarters and chunks of fabric that could be used for something but maybe we're not sure what?
ReplyDeleteWhen it's rainy, I like to go somewhere that's not home. G is now at the age where the rain is amazing, though, which gives me a new perspective on it - get outside and stomp in a few puddles! It's actually somewhat therapeutic, in a way.
