| Basket of selvedges cut from scraps that were piled high. |
As I start the third week of this challenge I’ve got a lot to report.
First of all, the accountability of having Lynda to connect with has been a real game changer for me. (https://lyndaheines.blog/2021/02/15/feb-march-challenge-week-3/).
 |
| Each width has its designated bin. These are for the quilting cottons. |
 |
| These two piles of strings will go to a guild member to be used for stuffing pet beds. The top group measured 18”x24”x3” deep! Then I started on the second pile. |
 |
| Top picture is the set up as I’m working with hand-dyed scraps. I have fewer of them and they will be bin-sharing. Bottom image shows how the quilting cottons looked when I first started. They're pretty full now! |
 |
| Here's a peek inside my fabric closet. Empty shelves are waiting for the pantry bins to be returned. There’s no end to 'finding more scraps' lol. |
 |
| What do these two pictures have in common? First one was items taken to thrift store, second was my reward for taking them. I removed from my house 4 loads of excess items this past week. Everything from batting scraps to layer cakes of fabric to bubble wrap and wedding gown fabrics. Someone referred to this as Swedish Death cleaning, I call it Clearing, Cleaning, and Calming! |
 |
| One of my grands is creating also. Way to go Miss Hannah! |
 |
| This image is my Mid-month Mini for the Mission Inspiration group. Our theme for this was HANDS. I drew on a previously painted background. Next I filled in the nails, knuckles, and wrinkles. lol The quote is actually the title of a very old poem |
Until next time,
Let’s Create Today in whatever way resonates with you

Luann, OMG! You are really organizing and cleaning out. That pantry idea is wonderful! You deserve a reward for all you've been doing. Thanks for being part of the challenge. It sure has spurred me on too.
I like what how you are "corralling" your scraps. Soon you will have your very own little stock of "pre cuts!"
Lynda and Terry,
The Leftovers Pantry was completed yesterday. I officially have NO little snippets or strings in my room. My friend, Sheila, stopped by after school and picked up the slivers and trimmings bag. It really is CALMING to know I don’t have a pile of ‘I should do something with these' !
Thanks for stopping by. See you soon with another update, lol
