I’d mentioned that as part of my “plan to get things done”, I’d decided to dedicated one day on the weekend to sewing.

Saturday didn’t go so well with this one keeping my in chair for far too long.

By the time we got the motivation to get up and do anything, it was already afternoon. So I decided to water my plants (that takes almost an hour) and then paint instead (of which you’ve seen the results). So Sunday was looking to be the studio day.

But then it took all I had to not just sprawl out on the bed and hang out with this one.

After some good belly rubs, I finally put the boots to myself, got up, and opened the studio door…

Oh… right. I have a REALLY bad habit of not cleaning up after I finish a quilt top. It’s usually close to dinner-making time, so I usually just make sure the iron and machine are unplugged, turn off the lights and close the door.

And I’m afraid that’s what I’d done after finishing Mr. Dragon.

Before I was going to do anything, I was going to have to clean up.

Putting things away didn’t take too long (maybe half an hour). But Scrap Mountain, the basket that hold all the scraps created by my projects was definitely in need of some attention. So I got to cutting, and putting all those scraps in their proper boxes. That was a couple hours.

When I was done the studio was clean

Or… as clean as it gets as it’s also terribly cluttered. I really need to make these quilts and clear some of this fabric out!

Happily, there was still a little time left to do some sewing, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow so see what I got up to.
