Stash vs. DeStash Follow up

Good Morning or afternoon depending where in the world you are! :)

I want to Thank everyone who left a comment and suggestion on my "Stash or Destash" post. (You can read it below or here). I have updated the comments, as I normally reply by email to all comments I felt this post could add some discussion so included mine also. I am happy to say, my sewing room is back in working order. Fabric is stacked back in the closet - by project order - I have purchased a journal to organize and prioritize those projects and am contemplating a year long journey of only sewing the projects I already have - as Sherry suggested in her comment. Can I do it?
Could you do it?

I do know that I am committing to cutting up those scrappy leftovers as they occur into something that will be usable vs. letting them grow out of the scrap bag. I find it hard to throw any away... so this will be helpful.

So here is the cleaned up version:

Yes, much, much better!

And there is a peak at my Great Granny squares. I have another post for them coming up next!

Have a great day!

Wednesday...going with the flow; and Baked Spaghetti

It was one of those days....not much went the way I had planned. It is the busy season at work, right before the begining of the year. But we managed to take a co-worker to lunch for her Birthday, and it was a nice break. We had Mexican and it was yummy! I thought I would get home and do a little sewing but that didn't happen either. Some days you just have to go with the flow, but gosh it can be hard!

 Somedays when I go into my sewing room and look at my UFO's and all my new fabric (I have been busy stash building lately :) So many projects planned in my head. It just seems I am so far behind! Behind what? I am not quite sure, some preconceived idea I have of what I should be able to complete I guess. Do you ever do that, set a deadline that really is only of consequence to you? Its not all bad, and it always feels good to cross a project off the list, but sometimes, well sometimes we really don't need the extra pressure and stress.....step back, take a deep breath and go with the flow. Sewing/quilting/crafting is supposed to be relaxing, enjoyable and not induce craziness!




So here is a pic of my sewing table, waiting patiently for me to return....such a good friend.

Meanwhile, I have a great recipe to share. I had a block party last weekend to mark the end of the summer/fall season and start of short days, long nights and yes....winter. We had snow on Friday. So I invited all the neighbors and had a Pot Luck (Carry In) and a few adult beverages. I made Baked Spaghetti. It was sooo good! The recipe is from the Food Network and by Paula Dean. It was a hit!
Thanks for stopping by!
