It was sunny and 61 F on Tuesday, so I went for a long walk. It was raining and 40 F today, so I stayed in the sewing room most of the day. I'm really ready for more of the 60 plus temps, but it sounds like we'll have to wait a few more weeks for that. Till then, it should be easy to get my stitching time in each week.
My routine seems to be developing again after all the interruptions due to the holiday and then getting sick. It was another excellent week on the stitching front.
- 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
- 15 minute days/Jan = 19/21 days
- 15 minute days/2023 = 19/21 days
- Success rate = 90.48%
So far so good on finding time to stitch.
The sewing room needs a lot of attention. My plan when I retired last year was to spend Sunday mornings cleaning, decluttering and organizing my sewing space. Last weekend was the first Sunday anything along those lines actually happened. I started my clean up in the southeast corner. The first order of business was to get a handle on all the scraps.
I have one drawer, two bags and one small blue bin of scraps that need to be pressed, trimmed and sorted by color. I got a late start last week, but still managed to empty the little blue bin in front of the two sacks.
It doesn't look like much, but there's a lot of 2" and 2.5" strips those piles. All the strips got sorted into the proper box by size and color.
That is a drop in the bucket, but at least the process is started. The plan is to tackle more scraps later this morning. It may take a few weeks, but it will be nice to empty both sacks. Then I won't have to keep moving those around when I want to get to something else.
How did your stitching week work out? Did you stitch, organize, or do something else entirely?
