After almost 3 months of no sewing I was able to spend some much needed time in my sewing room. My Elna machine just groaned when I put my foot to the pedal. She just needed a little oil which I found in the safe spot where I knew I put the oil when I packed my sewing room. It was in a sealable bag in a tin box and after I thought a bit I found the right tin box, the box that always sat to the left of sweet 16 machine, I should have looked there first. But I honestly couldn't remember where I packed it. I just had to pause and think for a few minutes with a cup of coffee and wait for the aha moment. And there it was.
A cousins daughter has a new baby boy, these Buggy Barn sailboats are quick and easy and such fun to sew and I found all these fabrics in my newly organized closet with all the neat and tidy stacks of fabric. Next to find the jar of thimbles and extra SD cards which might be in the camera bag but then I need to find the camera bag, and a couple books. It seems I spend at least an hour everyday looking for something in a safe spot that was at my fingertips before we moved. Or maybe its a memory thing but there are so many things to remember after a move like where I put everything! The treasure hunt for safe spots continues. --Ann-- Linking to Judy's DWM
Just think of it as being Christmas... you find a surprise in every box or package! That is going to be a really cute baby quilt. Glad you found some time to sew.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a lovely wee quilt, such fun sailboats. It's hard enough sometimes to remember my safe spots without even having moved! Good luck with your hunting - hope it gets easier each day!
ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeleteCute! I love the wild scrappiness.
ReplyDeleteFun sailboats! I've had a Buggy Barn design and a bunch of fabric set aside for a couple of years, need to get them out.
