I have so many fabrics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You wouldn't think I could really fit them all into my teeny tiny house. I tell you what, it's certainly squeezy in here at the moment. Anyone want to organise my extension??? (And by organise I mean fund...)
Nah, it's fun trying to (re)fit it all in. It does fit, the challenge is making it fit in a practical and neat kind of way. A bit like Tetris, which I love. I spent all of yesterday and today moving things around, folding and stacking fabrics. Not only is it fun to fit them in, but I'm uncovering some little treasures that were hidden previously.
I made these teddies years ago. The one on the left I made before I was married using real joints and soft fluffy fur. The blue one I started before I was married and finished after, way after. They both used the same pattern, believe it or not, what a difference the choice of fabric makes! I prefer bears not to be fluffy, I think. I made a couple using corduroy when I was in high school and loved them, but I gave them away as gifts, so I can't show you those. I wonder what other treasures I'll find in my sorting...
Oh, today's photo is "cup" and this is another cheat photo. Actually my Aunty took this pic at craft one Wednesday. It HAD hot chocolate in it BEFORE he got a hold of it, in case you were thinking I was a terrible mother.
Has anyone actually looked up the fruits with me? Well, we're up to faithfulness today and it can be tough. The definition: Adhering firmly and devotedly, as to a person, cause, or idea; loyal.
I'd like to think that I'm faithful to God, but I know there are many other people/things in this world that I sometimes give my loyalty to and times when I don't feel particularly devoted to Him. I'm so good at being human, not so good at being anything else...I guess most of us are the same though, and that's where Grace comes in. Where does your faith lie?
Anyway, happy Saturday! I hope those of you watching the Olympics are enjoying it. I'm going back to do more folding. I wonder what other goodies I'll find.
I'll see you tomorrow!
Re. Your stash of fabric: I hear there's a place down the road from you with 7 bedrooms and a barn in the backyard - they've got plenty of room! *wink! Wink!*
ReplyDeleteMmm, well, they seem to be full already. The keeper of the barn refuses to take in any more.
