I wanted to share New Years goals um, days ago. But I was relaxing and procrastinating for the holidays.
Anyhow, I'm going to try a 365 project this year. I couldn't make up my mind until the other night when I realized it was time to take a break from my quilt pattern designing (which was successful, but is tideous in its fine tuning!) and dive into organizing the mountain of scraps I've been ignoring.
And this is just a wee bit!
First I had the pleasure of sorting the current mountain by colors!
( I also have many pre-sorted bags stuffed to the brims)
Followed by HOURS which has turning into DAYS of ironing. I find this to be the most relaxing activity oddly enough. Not ironing clothing, but fabrics and scraps. I get very excited to have a freshly pressed stack of color sorted scraps.
Just like doing dishes or coloring book pages, the slow methodical actions are meditative for me. I get to sort out my plans, come up with new ideas, listen to the sounds around me. Daydream.
I'm about half way through my color bags that I assembled and in the midst of pondering my 365 day project I've been able to come up with fantastic ideas involving all these organized scraps.
I have a bit more ironing to do and some cleaning because clearing out a scrap bin is never tidy, but I'll return soon to share some creations!
