That's not hard to answer - I'm getting a new sewing room! (hence the elation). I can envision it now - all cleaned out, my sewing table, ironing board and design wall all in one room.. maybe even a cutting table if I can eke out a little more space. New paint on the walls. Maybe a small quilt or two hanging where there's room.
And yet the house seemed so empty this morning... and I felt... strangely out of sorts and at odds with the world. Who am I now and what is my place in the world? It's time to re-define myself and come to terms with a new me.
I went to the mall with a friend today. First time I've stepped inside a shopping mall in years. I tend to avoid them. I get all the shopping therapy I need in quilt shops. Nothing much has changed over time. More kiosks maybe. Despite my lack of recent mall experience, I felt jaded and uninterested in most of the shops. I did buy a case for my not-so-new cell phone.
THEN, we went to a couple of quilt shops (I was very good and only bought 1/4 yd each of 6 different solids that I absolutely needed to finish a quilt I'm working on, and some more aurifil for piecing), and lunch.
Haven't finished any quilts lately but I did send a couple of fabric postcards that I finished up. Here's a picture of one of them (they're both essentially the same)... puffy paint and crystals on inkjet printed fabric. The theme was 'bright and funky'. Hope the recipients like them:
