I need to get in my craft sewing room and get things in order. Although, I have to say it is not as bad this year as last. I've been better! : ) I'm trying to use up my fabric scraps, as well, and love your drop cloth banner. I have some drop cloth left over that would probably just be enough to do a banner like this.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-30427627256530862232014-06-20T12:58:38.022-07:002014-06-20T12:58:38.022-07:00Carol, thank you for the inspiration.

Karen's party is how I was inspired to set up Love (my art table). I remember being SO THRILLED about it, and all because of a virtual gathering.

You can't even begin to get started if everything is out and disorganized. Your summer banner is so perfect and cheery for your home. I have some fabric that I'd like to make napkins from but I'll have to learn to sew - been meaning to for ten years now.

I have been working on mine. The insulation is up, the walls are up, and the floor is in . . . now I am bringing things over from the old house. I did not know that I had so much stuff! Forty years of collecting paints, pencils, stamps, paper, and more paper . . . it will be so good to have this moving job OVER! <br />I love your banner . . . it is perfect . . . including the purple "E". <br />I'll be looking forward to the blog party :) I've never done one.
