labor day

Putting off clearing out my craft area has finally come to a end today. I decided that I just couldn't be productive in that space any longer. My little nook, in between the kitchen and the living room has become a drop spot for things. Books, fabric, patterns that I had gotten off the Internet and thought I would like to make, but never gotten around to it. I had to try to organize it into something that I could work in. So, today, D was at work, K and C were off doing things, F and D were out also, so It was just me. I started trying to get it back into order. I moved the furniture around. My cubby is what should be my dinning area in my house, but we don't use it for that. We have not really ever used it for that. At one time it held a table and chairs, but we never really ate there, because it was too small really for a table and 4 chairs and then try to sit around it. You would have to pull the table into the center of the room, and then you could not get to the kitchen to bring the food in. It was just not designed right. So I turned it into my craft area. It is still not big enough, but I can make it work, with a large shelf, and lots of plastic bins to put things in. I spent several hours sorting my scrap material into lights and darks and putting them in bins. I then moved my sewing machine back into my sewing cabinet. It was removed for a while so that I could take it with me when I went to my sewing club meetings. I am just about done, and ready to tackle another project. Can't wait to get in there, next project to make - some cute little purses for a craft sale, then finish the quilt that I started for F and then start a cute little pink and black quilt for k.
