What's new?:

My little sewing alcove had just gotten crazy out of control. I've been eyeing the bookshelf up there for a while (to store the bigger pieces of fabric) so I went to Costco today for some plastic storage tubs. Thought "Oh, i've read them all at least once, I have no problem just getting rid of them." Nope. Can't do it. One by one I had a reason for why I had to keep each book --love the author. love the subject matter. Surely someone I can *fix* will come along and need to read this book. (I'm a self-help book junkie). Sentimental about the book 'cause I've been dragging it around for so long --, etc. etc. So for the sake of getting it done this week...yea; this millenium, I just started piling them ALL into the tubs and will start thinking about getting another bookshelf for the living room or something. I came across a Memory Makers Scrapbooking magazine and a Stamper's Sampler mag both from 1997. Oh my. Talk about some hokey ideas. We've come a long way, baby! So, the only reason my alcove looks this good today

Is because this much stuff got pulled outta there... the fabric was literally piling up on the floor which bugged me no end. Wow, looks like I oughta get busy if I'm going to complete all the ideas I have in this lifetime! Ah well, for now I've gotta scoot down to the office and do my end-of-the-month rental stuff. I'll leave you with pics of groovy findings at a local flea market last weekend.

Of the blue crochet trim there were 4 40" pieces for $4. (Same size as a pillow case edge). The brown trim is 80" for the same price and the fabric was basically free.
