So Sew!

Sometimes, I obsess about what I need to accomplish,

instead of actually getting down to doing it.

I promised this little three letter word to Carol months back

and then promptly forgot.

Once I remembered, it hung over my head

until I finally did it.

The lesson here: just do it already!

So I took my own advice and got out some vintage star blocks.

They're handpieced but wonky,

which is probably why they came to live in a thrift shop

until my friend Joyce rescued them.

I made one into a little candle mat

and I'm thinking about how to use the others.

I auditioned them against some poison green yardage.

it works, but most of the points will be lost in the piecing.

So I put them away for another time.

And here's another example of what happens when you do, instead of obsess:

I found all these  missing things in one of my take-along sewing bags.

I  had cleaned up my sewing room, but I still couldn't find

my point turner or my marking pen.

And then I looked through my bags, and there they were,

waiting for me.

If you would like a chance at some vintage kitchen fabric, leave a comment here.

I'll draw a winner on Thursday, December 13.
