6 Months Later

My loyal followers will recall that I redid my sewing room just after Christmas.  One of my smart ass friends (I have many) commented that it looked great, but she’d like to see it in six months to see if it was still tidy.  Well Joan, here it is:

My biggest downfall is ‘piles’.  I tend to put everything I don’t know what to do with in a pile but I have tried to be really diligent and look, Ma, no piles!

When I trimmed my Jelly Braid quilt, I couldn’t bring myself to throw out all the triangles that were cut off, so I made this:

My daughter, Sandra, celebrated her birthday on Saturday.  She is a real girly girl and shoes are her biggest passion.  I’d be embarrassed to tell you how many pairs she owns but she does have a room devoted to them!

Anyway, another friend made these cookies for her birthday – aren’t they adorable and so appropriate!

Ben thought they looked pretty good, too!

Being a smart-ass myself, I have to commend you on labeling the CLEAR bins on what colors they contain.

Those shoes! My god! Whatever floats yer boat.

Great picture of Ben. Love that dog.

Well I have to say I'm impressed! Your stash is awesome. And so neatly organized. How long did you spend cleaning before you took that pic? ;-)

Sandra must have got her collecting and organizing skills from her mother. Nice shoe stash!

Ben is adorable as always. :-)
