I bet you wonder what I've been up to................

Well, the kids are coming to town.....all of them!  Well, all the grands that is and their chaperones! LOL!  I knew my daughter was coming in August but I didn't know my son was coming with his new significant other who I have not met yet.  I have talked to her on the phone though and she is a sweetie!  But I was in the middle of cleaning and organizing and now I need to get "a move on" big time!  Presents to finish and a house to clean and food to prepare.  So, you won't be seeing me out here too much other than to "document my cleaning frenzy"! LOL!
I started organizing my fabrics and sewing things as it has taken over my dining room and I think we might be needing it.
I cleaned out one closet in the middle room and this morning (I was up at 3:30..I think I'm starting to panic) I went to the Dollar Store and got plastic containers to "organize" and/or "divide and conquer".
So far, it seems to be working but I still need more containers...will I ever have enough?  These are great for fat quarters and I love "locking lids".  I need about 3 more though as I have Black, Green and 30's fat quarters.  I may dig up more too before the day is over!
I only have a few charm packs...so far.......
Then there are WIP's which I want to keep the fabric together as it was specifically bought for certain projects.  These containers are working well for those.
It seems I still have "miles to go before I sleep" though..........
Wish me luck! 
Happy Trails!

  1. Those containers look good! Our dollar store does not have them...I looked for some yesterday. You have a good start and you better put on your list...rest a couple of days before they arrive!! :)

  3. Wow! It looks to me as if you've made great progress on your oganizing. I need to get some of those locking storage containers when I'm able to be up and around more. Have fun with your family.
