I decided to tackle my project last weekend. And, I can say that I have "started" but am no where near completion of said project. I am blessed to have a room that I share with our computer for the storage of my creation stuff. My husband build me a lovely desk with storage on either side, plus I have 90% of the closet. Keep in mind this is only my fabric and scrapbooking and other miscellaneous supplies. My yarn stash is taking up a good portion of the spare bedroom closet and my enameling, lampworking and newly started silversmithing tools are located in a completely separate area in the basement. (that is a blog for another day).
One problem that I have is that I've purchased or received as gifts some fabulous scrapbooking totes (yes they are buried under the "stuff" in the corner. The problem I've identified is that I don't have a good place to store them in between scrapbook retreats. Hopefully in reorganizing how/where I store things I can solve this problem. Or at least come to terms with it.
The bright side of my few hours spent starting my sorting project, is that I was able to bring together all of the wonderful fabrics that I've been collecting since inspired by the Art in the Bag benefit. First I must state that this fabric pile is NOT the result of one shopping spree, but the accumulation of many from Prairie Point Junction to J Caroline Creative to Mangelsen's to the "big box" fabric shops. But isn't it beautiful! Lots of pink (I think that is because I am thinking items for breast cancer awareness), but there are loads of other fabulous colors as well including greens and orange and teal and browns . . . you get the picture.
You might be asking, what is to become of this lovely Fabric STACK. Well, I'd love to let it sit and become a piece of art in my create space, but that isn't realistic. Eventually I'll want ot add more fabric and then I'd run out of room in my pile. So, I am going to make some fun bags, headbands, coffee wraps and tissue covers with these beautiful cottons. Check back often to see how I progress. I might even have a fabulous give-away in a week or two where you could WIN one of my creations.
Time to sign off. My mom and I are going to work on sewing chickens today. I need to get down the road to pick up our yummy vanilla carmel latte's at Scooters.
Have a creative day!
