Pizza to the Rescue!

Who among us does not have several (or more) unfinished quilting or sewing projects? I certainly do. Despite my attempts at maintaining some organization, these orphan projects have had no home and have been crammed into boxes and baskets where they would fit. They really need their own homes.

Today I was in Home Depot looking for something else when I found myself contemplating the array of  plastic storage boxes. There was a Sterilite storage box that could work, but at $5.97 a piece (hmmm. how many unfinished projects do I have?), I dismissed it. But, on the way home I stopped in at my local pizza place and got them to sell me 6 large pizza boxes. They charged me $4.00. These are new, unfolded boxes, with a vague smell of pizza (if you hang out in a pizza place, you're going to smell like pizza).

I've attached a picture of one of my unfinished projects in its new home! This is a future quilt of diamond-shaped blocks cut from Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I'm going to also include in this box, a number of squares I've cut from KF scrap fabric. These boxes will label and stack soooo nicely!

A New Blog!

I've started this blog to create a space to chronicle my creative projects, present and past—to be honest—mostly for my own entertainment. My past attempts at putting together photo albums or notebooks of projects have been rather futile.  But I like being able to go back and consult earlier projects so, thus the blog.  I also have a travel blog which I created in 2008 in order to share our photos and adventures with friends and family. That has not be kept up properly.

So, I'm optimistic about this venture. At the very least, this blog will provide me with pleasurable moments as I revisit the fun I've had and the challenges I've undertaken. And, if you are like me, and are inspired by other creative people's projects, and like to visit, well then, welcome!
