i'm trying to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel this week :) and of course eating the cookies from yesterday doesn't hurt. my hubs loves to take sunset and sunrise pics and i couldn't resist sharing this gorgeous shot he got the other week. this is taken off our balcony and one of the views that he sees more than i do since i'm not a morning person. since i sleep later than he does (i stay up later and he goes to bed earlier so it works out) i get to bask in those gorgeous moments through the lens he captures them in. they always fill me with a sense of peace and i thought you may all love this one as much as i do.
i realized this past month that i have never gotten around to showing pics of my sewing wall. the area i took on last year and revamped for my own office/sewing space in our condo. i still plan on doing that but you have to wait just a little bit longer because i'm revamping again! yay! the hubs and i are hunkering down to brace for tax season. that means lots of cleaning, reorganizing and purging of our wee home. but this time we are doing some redecorating as well. we've got some lovelies that we are hoping to switch up and freshen up in our home as well as something that i cannot wait to show you all in the next few weeks! i promise this time that i will take shots of all of it and show you where i keep my chaos...lol.
even though i have a good system i'm still trying to keep a lot of it under control. i have an issue with getting lazy and then not rebolting my fabrics and then i run out of my mini bolts and just fold - and not always nicely i may add (tip: i use comic book inserts for my mini bolts. works fabulous and is really inexpensive! i picked this up from maggie of smashed peas and carrots). plus those pieces that are bigger than scraps and not nice fat quarters always end up in this one spot staring at me saying "shannonnnnnn...clean us up....how are you going to get inspired by us if we are all a big ol'mess....shannnooonnnn" and it drives me a tad bonkers. so even though my current system is working well it has a few kinks that only living with it can work out and i'm hoping to solve those very soon and show you all what i've done. so excited!
