Busy, but no sewing

Remember when Sew News magazine was this size? I realize from this photo you can't really tell how big they are, but they are the size between the size they started out with and the size they are now. Real informative, huh? In the beginning, Sew News was a rather large newsprint magazine.



I've been "cleaning out" a closet and "under the bed" these last few days and ran across some of the old magazines that had found their way to the closet corner and buried under other "stuff." I thumbed through some of these oldies and ripped out interesting tidbits that I thought worth saving. Most of them were from the mid 90s. One of the things that seems strange in looking these over today is the lack of website addresses. Seems so strange now -- no websites noted. How quickly we (I) get spoiled!

No sewing here. What started the "cleaning out" was the fact that a new mattress was delivered on Thursday. We purchased a Sleep Number bed and, after one night, I think I'm really going to enjoy it! Anyhow, back to cleaning--I knew the dust bunnies were running rampant under there as the vacuum only reaches so far. So, that cleaning seemed to start a bit of a chain reaction that led to a part of the walk-in closet which bled over into the sewing room that was becoming rather a 'catch all'. There is still much to do in the way of "cleaning out" and, hopefully, I will continue more next week.

The sewing bug hasn't bitten so I might as well go with the cleaning bug at this point.

I did visit a yarn shop on Wednesday with 3 friends. We had a great time and I got some inspiration to pick up a shell/top I had begun knitting back in January. I've done socks since January, but had lost interest in the shell. I spent a few hours this afternoon working on it. I would like to get it finished before I leave this world!

I'm keeping up with my blog reading and I'm so impressed with what you all are sewing out there! I know my mojo will return. I'm just rolling with the flow right now!
