WIP: confession one

In a June, I wrote about losing my rotary cutter ("WIP: Sparkling Gemstones part 2") and the unfortunate and time consuming consequences (which carried over to "WIP: Sparkling Gemstones part 3").

I still have not found my original rotary cutter, but am sure I will find it as I continue to organize my stacks of fabric, patterns, and other supplies. My progress with creating my "studio" is moving like a turtle: slow but steady. My "studio" is only about 46 square feet, but the natural lighting is very good, and the space is mine. All mine. I am using the space while I am designing it because I do NOT wish to finish it and realize it is not what I want.

One of the first things I fixed to one of the walls was a bulletin board. To prevent more disappearances of my rotary cutter, it now has a place on the board, at arm's length from my cutting mat. I also tethered my small scissors to the board with a "leash" that will reach the sewing machine.


Laurel's Lesson Learned: organize your tools.


I've been meaning to write a series of confession posts for a few weeks now.
What reminded me of my "confession" post today, was reading reading Nina Marie's post about setting limits. The timing of her post notice in my inbox was "a sign" (as my honey and I call it).

My honey and I have been considering making a significant change in our lives and for the past few days have been oscillating about whether we should or should not take the next step. An then I read Nina's post. I think in this case, we must let the opportunity pass us by. As the image in Nina's post reads: "you have to say no to a lot of good things in order to be able to say yes to a lot of great things". We'll wait for our great thing to come along.

Thank you Nina. Excellent timing.
