I’m plodding away on my pattern organization. I would like to be back in the front porch sorting through more stuff but today is an office day for Joe and since the front porch also serves as his office, I can’t be in there making a racket. That little teeny room serves as Joe’s office, my office, my craft room and storage so it really really needs to be organized. I am making headway which is great. After going through and pulling every pattern out of it’s plastic baggy it came in, unfolding it and stacking it along with all the patterns I’ve downloaded and printed off the computer I had some huge piles (and lots of duplicates) so I’ve been able to throw a lot of unneeded packaging away along with duplicates of patterns. And I’ve actually managed to make quite a dent in the stacks. Now I’m filling up binders like crazy and even though I stocked up on binders and sleeves on Friday it looks like I’m going to need more. But it feels so good to finally have my patterns organized and at my fingertips. Between that and all the thread I organized awhile back – stitching will soon be so much more enjoyable! Yeah!
Dad and Mom came over for the Super Bowl yesterday so I took a break from the front porch. We had potato soup and chili and fresh veggies to snack on during the game. And I got some stitching time in. I have an order for this sweet Christmas pillow so I worked on it. It’s hard for me to work on Christmas this time of the year so I have to make myself work on it but again, I’m plodding away! I made this into a Christmas ornament for Bayah this past year. It’s nice to work on something that isn’t prim once in awhile!
