Stashes

I have about two rubbermaids of fabric. Maybe more maybe less. I'm not counting diaper fabric-that's another 3. Of course this is all for my etsy stores. I plan on not buying anymore until half of that non diaper fabric is gone. This is a pretty array of colored fabrics but scary photo of one person's fabric stash. I could not ever use all this up.
Or use all this Yarn. I just have a small basket full and I think its too much.
This is not a picture of me!
Here's one for making jewelry or other crafts. Yup, not even close to this. I guess some people enjoy collecting and there awesome collections but I just don't want to try to keep all this organized.

here's the link for the jewelry stash

Rollins on Cashiers

As you know , I love Henry Rollins. I know and love his music well but only in the past 1 1/2 have I seen , on youtube, his road show. He is funny and makes me laugh. I  can also relate to him in many ways which is strange for a female too, right? Just like Rollins, I don't drink or smoke or do drugs which to many seems strange. I thrive on my anger , which he does. It seems weird for a female to be angry as I've been told. Really? Why is it that it's okay for a guy to be angry and a woman not?
Anyway, here's a clip from one of his road shows.

Summer Lilies and Petunias











Here's some pictures of my Lilies and some of my Petunias.

Update on the Sewing Room

I've cleaned up quite a bit. Got rid of bags and put stuff away. I have a few more sections to clean off but I realize I don't have nearly so much stuff like a lot of sewers,crafters,crocheters,etc have.
I already used up quite a bit of stuff and now my goal is to use up at least 5 skiens of yarn by the end of July and put up my items up on etsy to sell. I like using up my supplies and having room.
I will post a picture of my sewing room/laundry room when it is all clean.

Sewing Room

Since my sewing room is in a mess.  I have so many projects going and making more of a mess as the days go by. I have a goal of not to buy anymore fabric, wire, beads, yarn, etc... until the beginning of Autumn. Yes, I am going to try to finish and use what I have and not clutter up my poor room with more. After spending an half an hour cleaning tonight , I need too. Day 1.
