Organizing time

Between unpacking and then the holidays, and then Vegas and then the flu, I never have gotten around to doing much with the sewing room, much less actually sewing. But I've finally started feeling better this week, and it seems to be time. So I'm organizing - first thread, a whole drawer-ful of it, and now I'm working on the fabric I brought home from Mama's house. There's a lot of that, too, and I only brought home a fraction of it, at that. I'm making piles, by color, and then I'll have to merge it with the fabric I already had. It's messy enough in there already, and it's probably going to get even more messy before it gets better!

There was a lot of rayon thread - especially Robison-Anton, on those big bulky spools - and a few spools of silk, and two spools of invisible thread, which I'm sure I will never use but I hate to throw away, and then a whole rainbow of cotton - mostly Mettler. You can tell the colors Mama liked - there's a lot of green and gold, and then a lot of pastels - pink and purple, especially. And luckily a lot of beige - I really like to use neutrals for most of my piecing, anyway. Well, I sure won't need to buy thread any time soon!
