My sister, Marcy, came to visit me....it's her fault I am addicted to quilting. I have always had an addiction to fabric and then she introduced me to quilt stores. THAT was the first mistake. Then, she introduced me to quilt store "runs"...THAT was the second mistake. It's not that we need an excuse to go visit ALL of the quilt stores in a given area BUT when there are prizes and free patterns involved...well, how can you NOT participate? Besides, it's fun to spend the day with a sister...and okay, so we shopped for TWO days...it was lots of fun and we also were able to convince another sister to tag along with us.
I secretly told Marcy that I was going to convert Marie to fabric...she's a paper addict, I think some of you at
WOYWW know what I am talking about. I'm pretty sure the seed was planted ......as we stood in front of a new line of fabulous fabric she uttered this with a sigh..."All this cute fabric reminds me of paper, I love it!" I don't think Marie will ever stop card crafting but I say there is always room at the work desk for another addiction...isn't there? ....Ok...maybe not..........
I don't really think I could fit another thing in this space...I know it looks VERY busy, like I have been just creating like crazy! But honestly...I haven't been. I had to shuffle things around to set up the bed for my sis. I figured she might appreciate a bed instead of the floor and I guess giving up the sewing room for a sister is a fair trade for a couple of days. So.....lots of little piles in a small corner creates the illusion that I have been just ripping up the crafting world. I seriously need to get this mess straightened up..TODAY...Mother's Day is in a couple of days and I brilliantly picked up a project on our shopping spree and it needs to be completed by Sunday for my mother in law......brilliant.
So the question is...
What's on YOUR workdesk? Over at Julia's blog, we share our crafting places whether they be shameful or glorious or somewhere in between. Mine always tends to be closer to the shameful side. I'm on the way over there now because it's an addiction that doesn't take up any space :)
Happy

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very productive work space and that's what it's all about!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to spend time with your Sis! My sister lives about 30 minutes from me. We worked together for 8 years when we ran her printing business, then we spent many evenings together as well. After she closed it we both ended up getting married and now we don't spend nearly as much time together as we used to.
I'm glad I read this post because I'm now heading over to my cellphone to text her a message to let her know I miss her!
Sister are the best!!!
What would we do without them? Sisters are soooo special, I'm glad this prompted you to love on yours!
DeleteI love doing anything with my sister. Happy you guys have that bonding time. I would love to see some pictures of some quilts.
ReplyDeleteMe too!...I love doing sister stuff. I really should post some pics, I will work on that :) Thanks for visiting!
DeleteOh it's just one addiction after another with us crafters isn't it! I must say that I love paper and fabric equally although I'm not a very good seamstress. your desk looks lovely and your fabric shopping day (post above) sounded great too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for already coming to see my desk this week x
