I have about 8 big bins of fabrics and linens. I keep telling myself I need to pick one day and sew something for several hours and that will take care of it.

I'm purging here, too and trying to use what I have instead of always buying one more thing. It's a fun challenge that causes me to grow as an artist. Have a wonderful weekend~<br /><br />Hugs..<br />TamaraTamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944830859647370706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-57957820146318496712017-03-21T20:14:13.485-07:002017-03-21T20:14:13.485-07:00Carol, I really will need to do this some day.

If we do, I will have to sell a lot of my treasures. :) This home is wonderful when all of the family comes, but as the grands are getting older were finding it's getting harder and harder to get together as often. I love the flowers added to the napkins and the idea of using what you have!
