HOARDERS – you and me?

This post is a bit personal, so you are welcome to delete right here because I’m just a tad upset about being misunderstood and therefore labeled.

It has been hinted at more than once that I am a hoarder. I do not think so, my belief is that I simply have a studio with a good supply of ingredients and many projects to do. Some in all stages To prove my point, I have gone through the house taking photos. Nothing has been staged, just snapped as I went through the rooms.

The first room is the sewing/quilting/crafting supply room. There are several photos here. Notice that items are hung, boxed, labeled etc so I know what is where and can find it immediately.

The bags hanging on the front have current BOMs in them.

This is two of the 4 shelving units like this with folded yardage. Actually there is yardage on each side of a unit which makes 8 sides. I do need to get the flannel blankets done and off to the church as that would eliminate some immediately.

Holiday decorations and fleeces in buckets are in this cubby under the stairs.

OK, that is the room off the studio. Next up: the studio

The quilt hanging at the far end is the “mistake” quilt that I finished binding this morning.

Here is a bedroom that holds my fleeces from last year and this year and the reason I am refreshing my spinning skills. Next year the fleeces will be sold as there are enough here for a few sweaters, scarves, etc.

These are photos of the downstairs rec room/kitchen which is only used for the large cutting table it has and for preparing animal food. There is a large TV there, but isn’t used.

My closet is fairly small, but since I have few clothes, I can fit knitting current yarns in here as well

These are the living room, dining, room and entry areas

This is the kitchen/family room area

and this is the entrance hallway storage.

OK You have seen a large amount of materials, but would you call it hoarding? Does it really look like a hoarders house. Please comment.

On Grandpa’s Pond

I was behind on this block of the month and since DH went hiking for the day, I thought it would be a great time to catch up on Grandpa’s Pond by Two Sister’s and a Quilt

This is block contains both June and July. Here you can see that I have laid out the first pieces. They were then sewn down before any pieces were laid on top of them.

Next was added the frog’s tummy. It had to be sewn down before the legs as the legs overlap. At the same time the butterfly and mushroom stems were sewn down.

Then I added the frog legs, mushroom caps, and some of the flowers. Again, only adding items that won’t have other pieces sewn under them later.

The rest of the flowers and the legs for the windmill are added using the pattern placement guide.

And the last pieces were the blades and center of the windmill. Here you can see all the pieces up through July

(I’m sorry this is late, the computer has a mind of it’s own and wouldn’t play nice at all last night.)
