sidetracked on the weekend...
...didn't quite do what I planned, but it was worthwhile anyway!
Instead of spinning or working on the leg warmers, I finished organizing my craft room. I really wanted to start quilting one of my long-standing WIPs, but I didn't have enough room around the sewing machine. Plus, I still hadn't put any drapes in the room and I was worried that my needlework fibers (hanging up on the wall) and quilting fabrics (stored on open shelves) would start fading once the good weather arrived.
So this is what I did on my weekend:
It was a nice weekend, weather-wise and we were able to let the cats out to play in the backyard. They loved checking out the lawn and seeing what was new. The Husband did a little gardening, so there were dirt clumps to check out beneath the cherry tree...
... 
It wasn't craft-less weekend because I did work on the Lenore socks and the Seahorses needlepoint. I'll post pictures of those on Wednesday. In the meantime, enjoy the sky from this morning...

So this is what I did on my weekend:
- Moved all of the hanging fibers into two new drawer organizers that completely block the light.
- Hung up all of my scissors, rotary cutters, and other tools where the fibers used to be.
- Moved all of the sewing patterns and ready-to-sew doll clothes (don't ask how old these are...) into smaller boxes and bins that are easier to manage; put them on the top shelf of the closet.
- Purged a bunch of odds and ends that I have no idea why I still had them--most were trash or recycling
- Moved a lot of loose stuff and keepsakes (newspaper articles and the like) from shoe boxes into archival-safe photo boxes.
- Put up one of the drapery rods that used to be in the living room into this room; hung new drapes (gotta love Target for inexpensive panels!)
- Hung a set of canvas panels on a tensioned curtain rod so that they hang in front of the quiting fabric to block the light.
- Put away yarn and roving that were still in bags; put away loose knitting needles
- Found the top of my sewing table and found the floor!!
