Booyah!!!...

Brynwood Needleworks - BW Exclusive Strawberry Sachet - Hydrangeas

One of the benefits of doing a deep dive into my studio supplies is that I'm finding things long-buried and forgotten (or lost). I was sure that I was on the last few scraps of a fabric I adore for making my strawberry sachets. Don't get me wrong. I like the linen a lot, but my first choice has always been this creamy white fabric.
 
I decided to empty a closet in my fabric studio. I knew that there were fabrics on rolls I want to donate, so I started pulling all the beautiful pieces into the light. One of the rolls that ended up with my bridal/formal fabrics was this fabric! I have at least a yard of 60" fabric...maybe even two yards! 

This discovery alone was worth the work I did yesterday. I think I have about a dozen bolts and three rolls of fabric pulled to list. I also have books, patterns and notions I'll be making available, too. I'm going back into my Square account to see about setting up a storefront. I promise I'll keep everyone updated about what I do, and make links that will be available to all. Thanks for your input yesterday, because it helped me see that this is probably my best option. 
 
Square also has a new feature that will allow me to share items right here on my blog, with an attached purchase button that you can click to buy. This could be really wonderful for some of my Exclusive Brynwood pieces in the future.

I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but I really made a huge dent yesterday. I think I'm going to need to buy just a few storage containers so that I can move the offerings into my freshly-cleaned attic space for holding (until sold) out of my studio rooms. I'm going to run out this morning to find some, and then I'll be able to get a little more sorting accomplished over the weekend. Lots to do, so I best get after it. Of course, coffee first. wink See you later!

  2. Doing a deep studio dive is often just like Christmas when you discover something you had misplaced in your memory. My problem is that doing a dive most often ends up with me creating piles. "Oh....I could use THIS to make THAT so I'll just set it aside so I don't forget"....squirrel...."Oh...I could use THIS.... (well, you get the picture!). And then, my grand plan of having a lovely organized studio completely crumbles or topples if the piles of possibilities get to high. My own worst enemy, obviously!

    2. Hi Maggie:
      I was thinking the same thing! You should see my two studio rooms right now. It looks like a craft bomb went off upstairs! eeek. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I've been doing the same thing. "OOooooo. I forgot about this. I could make that one next." (which I must have said ten times already if I said it once.)
