Cleaning and diets

I have been on a diet. Not that anyone could tell…but I have cut out some things and have been trying to eat better. I do believe I feel better but not so sure that I look better. Hummm. Diets suck. Now that is my opinion on that.

Finally got into the corner of my bedroom where a pile of stuff has been lurking for a year or so. That pile produced a mountain of hanging clothes (that never got hung up and were placed in the pile), a laundry hamper (that couldn’t be found) and many wonderful things thought to be gone forever. I am sure that most people have a corner like this somewhere. Maybe in a closet. Mine was in the bedroom and even though I am the only one going in there…it needed to be taken down.

Now the garage. The Studio of boxes. I went in there and could hardly believe how bad it is. I need help and getting it isn’t easy. I did move a few boxes, got some carpet down and now for the news…I found a long lost iron and quilt. This quilt is my favorite for hanging behind my couch. It is beautiful although full of mistakes. Yes, full of them. There are so many twists and turns in the pattern that rarely does anyone notice them, but they are there. I once had my picture taken in front of the quilt (since I was so in love with it) and oh, then the mistakes were obvious!

So, the quilt is now washed and hanging on the wall behind my couch. AND I have an extra Laura Star iron. It is the older one that I used for ages until I got the newer version. I love these irons. They are wonderful. Not cheap in any way and last forever. Steam shoots across the room if you want it to. Just like having an extra sewing machine having an extra iron is nice.

Speaking of extra sewing machines…found one of those in a box as well. Will wonders never cease?

I hope you are finding wonderful things, having great adventures …and oh! Don’t forget to sign up for the free online quilt magazine Quiltposium. It starts Sept 1. Just type in Quiltposium and register. I am writing a little note and so are lots of other quilt industry people. There will be neat stuff and more to come.

Seams good to me!
