OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES
On Monday, when William (2)was at our place, he put his head around my sewing room door, and surveyed the scene.
"It is very messy!" he said. "Who did it?"
Well I had to own up.
"Granny did."
He looked at me with a serious face for a few seconds, then asked
"Is it naughty?"

Now I do have shelves which are reasonably tidy and organised, and where I know where to find things.

On the other hand, there are areas on the floor where things get dumped and stepped over (or sat on)......

And there is a table (not my worktable) which is all too convenient for leaving supplies and projects until I can deal with them.

It is not as if my sewing room is just a forgotten and neglected space. It is a place of work and activity.
Look at some of the things I have been working on in the past couple of weeks...

This is my first page for our 2010 RR....partly finished. My theme is going to be "Time", and I will call this page "Time and Place."

Here are some needlefelted needlebooks that I have been making to go with my felted apple pincushions.

I have completed the fronts and backs and handles of at least a dozen bags. They only need to be sewn around the sides and lined.

And I have made - from start to finish - this quilt for a new baby in the family in the past fortnight.

Like William, I like to play.

But William has been taught to put away his toys when he has finished playing. He cannot understand why Granny does not do the same thing.

Perhaps I will have a "tidy up" and surprise him!
