Merry Monday!

It's Monday, again!! 

Where are the weeks going? I'm not any further ahead in my to-do list and tomorrow, I start classes! Hopefully, I will implement those long lost time management strategies that I had prior to... Hmmm... It's been so long that my schedule was on my own terms! I am nervous about having to be at school since my daughter doesn't really have a ride from school as her friends are back to sports and practices after school. My daughter will have to be patient and flexibl. She told me she can hang at school and do homework. So, she'll be safe.

I have five classes! Wow! It's been 30 years since I've been in school! I'm sure I'll be the oldest in class - maybe not! Lol!

I am working on a few creative things to list on etsy.com along with some cool vintage items I picked up recently. It's hard to part with so many of the goodies I have found. However, I am sure I'll find more treasures to play with!

So, what are you doing this merry Monday?

Working in my studio space...

I am so thrilled to have this quiet time to work in my studio space.  My girls have gone to Houston to spend the holiday with their dad and my sweetie has the week off.  We are on slow-motion pace.  My sweetie's son is here and it's been wonderful!  I am glad to have him here to spend time with his dad.  They are so cute together!

I am using this time to get my studio space in order so I can begin working.  We were blessed to inherit my sweetie's mom's china cabinet.  It was at another relatives house, but he's moving out of state, so we were able to get this beautiful piece. Unfortunately, we don't have space in our dining room as I have a beautiful antique dining table and hutch in there already.  The house isn't quite set up for antiques.  There's not a lot of wall space.  So, I get to have this piece in my studio.  I am going to use it to store my fabric stash.  How wonderful it will be to have all my fabric displayed this way.  It's going to take me a while to move the fabric, but I will work on it day by day this week

I have a list of things I want to make and get on Etsy to sell.  I don't know what I'll start with first!  I am also excited to get out my mom's Babylock serger.  I have never used one and will  probably take a class at our local quilt/sewing shop.  I picked up a book at the library on sergers, but I'm more of a visual person - so a class will be better.
