Around the Room and Back Again...

So yeah. Lately, I have been spending a lot of time "trying" to get organized. Trying being the key word in that sentence. Organization? It really is an art form.

First area I want to target = The Sewing/Craft Room. I have a yard sale in the works for early this summer and I am gradually letting go of things I JUST. DON'T. NEED. The only things I am allowing myself to bring into the craft room are things that will assist with the goal of organization. I bought this little number (horizontal wall bin unit) at a thrift store for $2.99 last week and I absolutely LOVE it! All of those little gadgets/musthaves sitting on top of it? Those have yet to find their way into the garage sale boxes. I am a sucker for chickens. and unicorns. and pincushions. and skunks. ok, maybe not skunks....but he's so cute. Please note the copy of Sublime Stitching on the shelf above it. A MUST HAVE for all crafty guys & gals.

I worked on a few sewing projects today. One of which was this little 4-part pinwheel pincushion. I saw this design on another design website yesterday (i think it was MayFly) and had to make one. The original design was a 6-part pinwheel, but I cut it down to one....just for practice. I think they are delicious.

I also used the remainder of my pear fabric to make a cute little potholder and an applique dish towel. I loved that stuff. It feels good to have finally done something with it, although I do have to say.....I wish I had more.
