Current State of Things...

This is what my sewing studio looks like at the moment. Seriously, I'm about to lose my mind. But, here's the deal. I'd do it again in a heartbeat to help save someone important to me. That's exactly what we've done. 

The fabric room has nearly been transformed enough to turn it into a bedroom for my sister, even though it's taken longer than we originally planned. She ended up in the ER last week due to severe dehydration brought on by stress. The reason for her move has taken its toll on her, but she's home and we're keeping a watchful eye on her. She's doing much better having been treated with IVs and meds.

I work my "crack-of-dawn" shifts today and tomorrow, but will move the last two shelves and fabric bolts to the basement after today's and tomorrow's hours. I'm also working two more Wednesdays and then I'm going back to my previous schedule. That means, Jan should be moved into her own room by Friday (which is much later than originally planned) but still timely, considering the few speed bumps.

I'll take care of my sewing room soon enough. It's not going anywhere. And once I'm recombobulated, I'm going to set aside time each week to list, donate, share, and purge the things I'm not keeping. Once and for all. Of course, I'm also going to have plenty of time to create. You know. The stuff you actually come to read about.

Personally, I'm looking forward to some Donna & Jan collaborations. That's when the fun will really start!

I've gotta run now. Work awaits, and the sooner I get there, the sooner I can get back home. See you tomorrow!!
