Welcome to my extended weekend. I wanted to start quilting but as usual I have to clean up before I can start to be messy again. Last night I decided that I was going to stack up thins on my couch so that I can go through them later and slowly put them away. It worked out pretty good.

Now I have a chair to sit on and notice my other chair is for when I'm lazy and prop up my feet while I stitch.
I did that last night so this morning I got out the vacuum cleaner and did a quick swipe around. I should have known not to do that yet. Bolstered by my success last night I went to the next room and started to clean it. THAT will take more than one day because that is the room I keep my fabric and stuff in. But where do I put it in order to clean it and semi organize before putting back? Yep, you guessed it. I put it on the bed or couch in the room I just cleaned. It didn't go too bad at first. I separated out my fat quarters from my yardage from my scraps and put them on the bed. n These were just the fabrics that were "laying around" and not already in a bin or something.
THEN I started to come across my stash of UFO's. Oh dear. THEY needed to be a bit more organized so that took awhile.
I went to Dollar Tree and picked up some of their large bags. For three bags for $1 I can't beat it. They even have extra large bags which you get two in a box for $1. I like to keep my UFO's in them because then my BOMs are all in one place or I can match up certain fabric for a special project and keep it with the pattern so I don't use it before hand. I think I counted around a dozen UFOs there. It would have been more but I gave some UFO blocks to a friend so she can have something to work on while going to doctors etc.
The next portion of the sewing area had some things that needed to be shredded so I brought out my shredded and took a break to do that. Oops. I had forgotten that it makes a mess when I empty it into the garbage bag. Notice I said that "it" makes a mess and not "Bonni" makes a mess.
I still haven't stitched down anything but I am still happy with the progress that has been made. I will put away the fabric on the bed before I go to bed to sleep so that will also get done tonight.
Tomorrow will be back to cleaning the room again and perhaps, if I'm lucky, I will also get to stitch something. I feel brave today because I took down my winterizing stuff for my window. It warmed up today and even though I know it will get cold again, it was nice to have the window clear and I could look out it. Hopefully it won't get REALLY cold for the rest of the winter.
I hope everybody is having a good day. Here are some simple rules (that aren't always easy to keep) that might help you be happy or have a good day.
Everybody have a great day. Tomorrow I might be organized enough to post about a new BOM that I will be doing (or attempting to do). It reminds me of Grandma Chamberlain's Blue Willow plates that she used to always use.
