New Obsessions?

You were right, amandajean, they are addictive! Jacquie, you’d be so proud of me…notice the “wonky” lines? It’s all improvisional! A big step for me. I was/am a math minor, so I think that says a lot about me liking straight lines and everything even. I took a big step outside of my box just grabbing scraps and sewing them on. It’s funny to hear others say it’s liberating, but it really is! Now…what to do with it???

The scraps used were the tiny little scraps I love to save. I can’t stand the thought of tossing out a scrap unless it is absolutely unusable. So I save little bits, less than an inch square sometimes, in the hopes I'll find some way to use them. I thought I was probably a little weird, until amandajean made me feel much better today with her post. I don’t have a large management flow down for them, but it’s to the point I need something better than my big baskets and little jar. For now, I'm using a freezer bag. It works nicely for seeing what i need, or just grabbing at random. Keep in mind, I don’t have a huge amount of scraps. Anyways, now I don’t feel so alone in my scrap-saving-obsession. Just look what loveliness can be made from little scraps!

Here’s your daily dose of yellow for Yellow Week. I *heart* these scissors. They are the perfect sewing room scissors.
