(1) cool mornings
(2) swag bags
(3) finishing up!
They finished up the renovations in my sewing room on Thursday, I think it looks good as new. They inserted 6" anchor bolts into the brick at both ends of the room to steady up the wall, so I shouldn't have any more shifting problems.
Unless we have another earthquake??? God forbid!
I did my part with the scraps though; it went from this:
to this:
to this!
At 14" square, these little bins I'm using are a great size - get them in sets of 4 at Costco for somewhere around $20, not bad at all! I'd like to have filled an entire bin with strips, but I did what I did, right? I cut a lot of 2" strips so I'll have even more variety for my "x and +" blocks, along with some 2-1/2" and 3-1/2" strips for the other bins. All the noogies went into the trash.
I still have to sort and fold before I move all the other stuff back into the sewing room and I can't sew til it's done, so I see more purging in my immediate future! I'm not willing to just toss it back under the cutting table since it's all pulled out.
That's it for now, have a great day, sew forth and sew on...
I like those bins - will have to ask my SIL to look for them her next trip to Costco! It's a good start in taming.
ReplyDeleteNow that you've finished your scrap wrangling, wanna come help me get mine in order? Pretty please.......
ReplyDeleteI've never seen those bins and they look like a great storage solution. , What is the product or brand name?
ReplyDeleteI greatly enjoy having things all stashed in bins.... but why is it that what I want is always in the bin on the bottom?
ReplyDeleteTaming the scrap monster seems to be a never ending battle for me too.
