I’ve spent much of the day sewing, which is especially fun when Josey is doing his schoolwork because I’m more inclined to be interested in what he’s doing as opposed to what I’m doing. I’m making a plethora of little tea bag shaped satchets for a craft fair I’m scheduled to go to. So far I’ve finished– none of them.

First I have to clean my sewing area. Then I have to declutter and reallocate things to various crafts (knitting, sewing, book binding, embroidery, paper making, etc) then I have to wipe and dust everything. Then after the wiping and dusting there was the rearrangement of scissors, snippers, machine feet, bobbins, storage boxes, tracing paper, pattern paper, soap stone pencils, various and sundry things, the little rotary cutter and tiny cutting mat, and then the circle cutter. Then I felt the overwhelming need to press some scraps and stash them neatly folded in large zip-lock bags and hang the bags (three at a time) on some pants hangers.

I swear, I’m really not obsessive compulsive– I just don’t really feel like working today and cleaning was an easy out. I finally ran out of reasonably sane cleaning and did sit down to pin the seam of the tulle that I’m using and actually seam it. Then I cut my long tube of tulle into the individual pieces. So that’s a little something isn’t it?
