It didn't happen
January 17, 2008
The sewing room is still a mess. I never got to it yesterday. I had a repairman here and it didn't feel right to leave him traipsing through my house while I was upstairs in the walk-in closet that is my little space. So I hung out in the kitchen, cooked some and took pictures of vegetables. Yeah, the repair man thought I was weird.
I thought this might brighten up your day.
I bought these on Saturday and they are still going strong on the kitchen table. I love having fresh flowers in the house. They do wonders for my spirits.
Lots of things are making me twitchy to sew:
this quilt daria made
the thought of vintage linens
all the yellow in this one
the best button haul ever
and this bag. I love this bag.
Enough of my random thoughts. I really do have to clean that room. Enjoy your Thursday.
here's wishing you time to sew today, erin!

go get cleaned up! It's hard to create in a messy space. Don't ask me how I know that.

Fresh flowers always make me feel better too. Man, that wedding quilt is fabulous! Good luck with the cleaning!

We had a repairman yesterday too. I think a lot of them are a little weird so I wouldn't worry about it.

I too love the bag. Ack - now you are distracting me. Hope you have a fun day!

Oh, that really cracked me up thinking about the repairman wondering what the heck are you doing with the camera lens a few centimenters away from your vegetables.

Those flowers are cheerful. Do you like wildflowers too? I'm trying to cheer up winter by having a theme on my blog of Wildflowers in Winter. There will be something different to do each week until Spring. One week features wildflowers with fabric, yarn, etc. made by you or someone else. Come on by for more details. Each entry gets their name entered in a drawing!

Ah! Mystery solved - my flickr went a bit mad!!!
I love those hats you made a few posts back. Ha! And I reckon I might have been shy about photographing vegetables in front of the repairman. Who was it the other day out in their pyjamas photographing frozen puddles!! Alicia wasn't it?
I love the bag too - I think it's my favourite thing ever made. Oh well, it'll probably end up in the shop!

Why do today what you can do tomorrow? Besides it's more fun taking pictures of veggies and flowers then cleaning!

I just love having fresh flowers in the house. That's a good idea in fact for a job to do today.
