What you find...

...when clearing up the studio - colour catchers and a 5(?) year old pattern for a skirt that I'm definitely never going to make -photos (from the office) of my son at age 5 and at 16 with his cousins -
tubs and bottles -
and more bottles -
beads bought in hope of jewelled splendour - hmm, at least four years ago -
many tiny clothespegs, and a grip glove for machine quilting -
and much more, all needing a decision - keep? bin? or - ??

I made the skirt pattern into a little book, and started writing down what I wasn't going to accomplish today. Writing stuff down means you don't have to remember it - also, it's more likely to get done eventually (at least that's my theory). As you can see, I managed to achieve one of the "impossible today, save it for later" items -
The thread boxes have been moved from under the ironing board to their special, handy place to the left of the sewing machine. All it needed was a shelf emptying and repositioning. The contents of the shelf have been sorted - and labelled! very important, the labels - and put back under the shelf -For the first time in a year, the floor under the ironing board is clear -
Next step - oh there are many next steps! - one possibility is to clear yet more floor.
