It was a mad house and made me thankful that I came for one item and knew exactly where it was. I'm glad you were able to find some useful storage!

No matter how much I spend on an iron, they always start leaking and peeing on everything eventually, and replacing the iron is a waste of money that could be spent on MORE FABRIC!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-34719082792514997632016-09-07T09:28:17.919-07:002016-09-07T09:28:17.919-07:00The new units look great!

I felt victorious the other day when I went into my LQS for something specific, which she didn't have, and came out with less than a yard total of other prints. Of course then I screwed up the next day when I went to another quilt shop looking for that one thing and came out, not with that but with almost four yards - most or which will not be used in the project for which I've been shopping. And now my closest LQS has announced a sale for this week: 30% off store-wide! {sigh} I'll never come out ahead.Magpie Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930036522719103192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-27179986484239774522016-09-05T10:03:29.282-07:002016-09-05T10:03:29.282-07:00I could just hear that ringing bell when you came ...I could just hear that ringing bell when you came to the right answer about overflowing fabric.

More fun than shopping online. Maybe putting the fabric away in these will spark the creativity. Most likely you will find things you had forgotten about and start picturing what you could do with them. That's what happens to me when I get to reorganizing.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412341664506380343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-13834688900050263542016-09-05T07:17:18.897-07:002016-09-05T07:17:18.897-07:00When I am not inspired and cannot find motivation ...When I am not inspired and cannot find motivation to create, one of the best activity is to go and buy storage solutions and rearrange my life.
