I made 10 more blocks and finished reading book 6 in the "Bones" series. I can't say I did much more than that. It was another hot day.
While I watched the 10 p.m. news I sorted through the strips in their boxes and sorted them by darks and lights so I could see what I need to cut for continuing variety. I have 2 strips of most of them so I also sorted out the single strips. Just busy work for fingers that don't like to be still.
No idle hands around this blog! I love your batik logs. Because of you and your continual inspirational posts, I've started to cut these strips whenever I can! That way, a rainy day is always a time to piece! Imitation is the purest form of flattery - or so I've read, and I plan to go and get some of these Wanda-inspired plastic baskets too! Do you think it will ever be nice summery weather again?
You know, I just noticed those pencil boxes you're using in the grocery store last week. I've never considered them until I see you using them for your strips. Now I want to buy 5 or 6 of them! LOL
Ohh beautiful blocks!!! And Wanda, you've got me with those strips. I love strips. Ohhh I love them. They are exactly what you say. Busy work for fingers that don't like to be still. This, this I understand and am proud to be a member of that club.
What size are the logs you're cutting? Do you only store batiks this way? Could you consider showing us a pic of your sewing room and the storage? I'd love to learn from you. BTW, IF it weren't picked up, I'm sure not one person would care/ We are sponges to your organization. Thanks so much, your loyal fan, hilary

Love the sorting process. That will be perfect for organizing a project to take on my next trip!
ReplyDeleteI hope to learn a bit about sorting on Wednesday!

This weather is such a challenge that if you find a good book and pat a bit of fabric...that is a good day! Love the log cabin blocks, charmers!
ReplyDeleteI've finally given in and moved my smaller machine into my one a/c room (my bedroom).
ReplyDeleteIt's tricky to work in there, but better than not working at all.
I can't imagine fingers busier than yours. *S*
Busy hands, happy heart! I love your log cabin blocks - and your organized strips! I must get some plastic containers.
ReplyDeleteWanda, you are so funny. What you consider "lazy", most of us would consider a productive day!
ReplyDeleteI think you should change your blog title to:
ReplyDelete"ORGANIZED EXUBERANT COLOR "☺
Martha Stewart could learn from you.
