I so need to spend less time on the computer and more time in the sewing room!

When my Mom past away I ended up with her fabric and I was so over whelmed by how much she had. She lived in a trailer house and boxes were stacked to the sealing every where and just a path like a maze. I wanted to keep all of the fabric as then I had space for it in the garage. We ended up having to move to an apartment when my husband changed jobs and I sold and donated most of my fabric. I did keep 8 totes and since then have added a lot more to my stash. My hubby wants me to sew up what I have and give up the quilting and I told him that will be a cold day in#@!*!!! As long as I can keep things organized he shouldn't complain.

yeah. it assumes a life of its own. kinda like wire hangers, and rabbits. leave 'em alone in the dark, unattended, for even a little while, and you suddenly have four times as many as you had before.
hubby just looks at it all, shakes his head, and says, "it's a disease, isn't it..." but he doesn't count the piles of fabric, and i don't count his bicycles and guitars. (not out loud, anyways...)
it does look like home, to me. and i hope to go to my grave, someday, with unfinished projects, and too much to do, and more designs in the notebook. i never want to lose sight of the potential in things around me. i say, "keep up the good work!!"
(just doing my part to support the textile industry...)

I like to sew AWAY from that room! I have place I go on Wed to sew for a charity, I go to a friends house on Sunday afternoons(she is elderly and alone, so I help her clean, cook for the week and then we sew), and I go on retreats!
I can sit in there and sew though!

As I said this is only a corner of room!
