Time to make some changes...



To my faithful follower, Amy. I am finally going to post again. I have spent all evening checking out other sites. I was going to change the name of my blog, but decided I will continue on with this one.
Anyway, I have decided (at least tonight) to make some changes to my life. I presently have the been moving my sewing to my new office. I have two offices, one you have to walk through to get to the other. So I have decided to move all my sewing stuff from storage and put it in the second office. Tomorrow the move will include the cutting table and mat. I am hoping to start sewing again. It has been so long since I have been truely creative. I stopped at a quilt shop Saturday to get some inspiration. This is what I found...
A pretty little pillow made from pastel cottons and a beautiful purse made from silk and embellished with beads and decorative fibers.
The quilt shop had a lot to offer, but didn't seem homey. The staff wasn't smiling or having fun. I briefly spoke with an employee (or owner) not sure and she did not engage in the conversation. I seemed to be bothering her with my simple question. Then as I passed another employee, she didn't even make eye contact. So I will adventure off to another quilt shop to see if I can find a homey one. Unfortunately, I drive by this one everyday. Odd, the bead shop people were not overly friendly. I wonder if it is Vegas or Michigan people are just nicer in general.
I do think I am going to leave my machine at home for now. Cut out at the office and sew at home. I am not too sure about staying late at the office, it is a little spooky.
Some of my first things on my sewing list are: use up that wonderful baby fabric I have carted around for ever. Kali needs some Grandma made clothes. Then some purses. This all sounds so fun, lets see how it goes tomorrow.
