It's been a week for mostly rest and relaxation at Life in Pieces. My Guy and I took a long weekend away from the house to recharge our batteries. It's been a nice weekend. I'm taking one more day off before heading back to to work on Tuesday, My Guy will have to show up at the office tomorrow. There's been a lot of hand work this week, but that still counts as stitching time.
- 15 minute days/week = 6/7 days
- 15 minute days/Sept = 25/30 days
- 15 minute days/2021 = 230/275 days
- Success rate = 83.64%
These segmented boxes let me sort the strips by color and pack them so I could see what was in each compartment. Hobby Lobby only had one box, but I found them at Anne's and order a few more.
These boxes will definitely work. But I needed more then 4.
I ended up with 6. But that covers strip sets from 1.5" up to 6.5". Some boxes with the larger strips have two sizes in them. These will be stacked underneath my cutting table. Hopefully this will help with keep the sewing room cleaned up and make it easier to use the strips when get back to making scrappy quilts.
Did you get in some good sewing/organization time this week?

Love your new segmented boxes for organizing your scraps. Never seen plastic boxes like thoses here...It seems I am just in need of several of them.
Happy stitching.
Those are great boxes for organizing your scraps, Kate! I like your idea of trimming them into usable strips. Mine are only organized by color, and I pull them out and cut when I need something. So glad you got that long weekend with your guy!
nice boxes
Those segmented boxes are very clever!! Good find. A long weekend away sounds wonderful. I could use a change of scenery myself.
So glad you got relaxation time. Well deserved!!! Love your organization. I'm still working on my plan for scrap quilts. I have two patterns that I am working on designed by Bonnie Hunter. Those are my slow and steady Leader/Ender projects. Enjoy your extra day off!
Those boxes look like they work great for organizing your scraps. I bought comic book boards and am working on properly storing the yardage I have to buy now, either online or pick up in store both have minimums of at least one yard, and sometimes two. I was planning on using a baby item for an item of clothing, but I might have given the box to my daughter. I only kept the things we made - some embroidery on a bib, some paint for a Halloween outfit. I couldn't think of any other fun clothing photo. I will try again next week.
You are very organised, my scraps are all just in piles. The only craft I have properly organised are my embroidery threads. The sewing stuff just gets left in piles until I can't bare it any more and I have a big tidy up. Have a good week and glad you had a nice break, that cottage is too cute.
