Call Me Old Fashioned...

Jan and I area headed to Portage for Craft Day. I made cinnamon rolls yesterday to take along. Time for a little creative therapy with friends. I'll see you Monday to show you what we make.

Calm In The Chaos...

We're clearing in earnest now. My fabric room is being emptied to make room for a bedroom for Jan. She and I cleared basement space for my fabric shelves and cutting table as a start.

Today, we'll move the smaller cuts of fabric into plastic totes and move them downstairs. Instead of being in cubby shelves, the totes will stack under my cutting table. I don't have time to sort them upstairs, so I'll do that in November when I have more time.

The bolt shelves will go downstairs next, and I have clear bags to protect the fabric from dust. That way I'll still be able to see what's inside the bag on the shelf to grab and cut what I want when I want it. I'll get to install a new work light above my cutting table, too. So considering we have an unfinished basement, it's going to be pretty bougie down there! Brynwood Studio will be a multi-level operation.

I'm going to take time to make my ATCs for Jan's swap group, too. The month is nearly over and I still haven't done them. A little creative time might be just what I need. Plus tomorrow is craft day, so I'm happy for that as well.

I guess I'd better enjoy my cuppa this morning, as I'm sure by the end of this day, I'll probably need linament and Tylenol. Better go now. Happy Friday, friends.

October Classmate Dinner...

Front-Deb B., Cal, Mary, and Lisa. Back-Jan and me.

Another late afternoon gathering to enjoy time with old friends. I took Jan with me for a meal out, and she was embraced with open arms.

We all left by about 5 pm (like good old people lol) so we'd be home in time to watch our Brewers baseball team clinch the World Series! A perfect evening to a great day where sports history was made.

We have lots to do before I go back to work on Monday, so Jan and I are going to be really busy. I have artist trading cards to make for this month, too! Better get to it! See you tomorrow.
