She's Sew Pretty

Sorting out the Studio

Do you give yourself goals?  My goal for this month was to organize this big cabinet in my studio.  I am happy to say that I crossed it off my list!  I managed to bring in three boxes of fabric, fold, sort it and put it away.  I'm hoping that the nice stacks peeking out of the cabinet windows will inspire me.  I found fabric that I forgot I bought and fabric I have been shamelessly hoarding.   I still have boxes of fabric to sort but right now, I'm all organized and ready to sew! I also managed to clean some of the stacks off my work table and make enough room to play with paper.I made two new tags for my Happy Homemaker Tag Swap with Renee at My Vintage Mending.  Renee is making Nursery rhyme tags and mine are made using scans from my vintage Storybook cards.  What could be better for my June tag than a blushing bride and the little girl with a curl all dressed in red, white and blue for July.

My friend Beth is crashing the Where Women Create party.  I forgot to sign up so I'm sneaking in to that party with her and joining up with Beverly's Pink Saturdays too!

I'm Still Here

Yes, I'm still here.  My June staycation was wonderful until about the 29th of the month when a nasty cold took over my body.  Other than last nights firework's show, in my daughter's little neighborhood, I have not been out of the house much.  I have done no sewing, very little cooking and have only been in the garden to change the sprinklers or move the hose. 

What I have done is watch umpteen episodes of Drop Dead Diva.  I've almost finished reading Cutting for Stone. (beautiful, beautiful sad story)  I've watched some good movies, some cute movies and some really bad movies.  I haven't watched this much tv in years. 

I have also spent way too much time on Pinterest.  My obsession with Pinterest has made me unhappy with my decorating, my sewing skills and my wardrobe.  It was bound to happen.  So until I can find my mojo, I am stepping away from my blog.  Please don't worry about me.  I have just realised that I have stacks of fabric, stacks of pretty paper and that's all they are...stacks.   I need to find my way back to "me".
