Piles of fabric - a destash!

Fat quarters to go on the left, those to stay on the right.

Next Saturday Sophie and I will have a stall at the Monbulk Community Quilt Show. (Read more about it here.) The show raises money for the CFS, is always worth a look, and this year I am using the stall to get rid of some of my lovely fabric that is cluttering up my sewing room. It's not the fault of the fabric of course, I'm sure it will look great in your sewing room! I am just having to face the fact that despite loving all this fabric I probably don't have time to sew it all. I will also have handmade items to sell. I'll be featuring some of those items on the blog this week so you know what goodies will be in store for you if you venture to Monbulk. Here are the facts in case you want a lovely day out in the Dandenongs.

Rhythm.

I think this posting every day is beginning to form a bit of a rhythm for me. Whilst my "resolution" only started January 1st I have been posting daily since December 12th. I was inspired and intrigued by blogtober, although it took me a little while to begin to post every day. Tonight my words are all jumbled and I am having to use the delete button a lot. Yes, sure sign of a headache for me. Not to worry though. I am off to bed as soon as I have posted this. I did go to bed about half an hour ago, but couldn't settle because I hadn't blogged. Weird, huh? You see what I mean about a rhythm!

Grandson waiting on the stairs for his foph (aunt) last August.

We went to look at the house this morning. It is great. Not the colours I like or anything like that, but it is BIG. I really want BIG just in case anyone wants to pop in and stay for a little while. You know. Anyone like the guy above who we are all missing terribly at the moment. (And his sisters of course!) We have filled in the application forms and now we just have to wait to hear whether we get the house, or not. We shall see I guess. So, the decluttering and destashing has begun. (What else would give me such a headache!) I guess going to look at a house made the whole moving thing seem real. I have made a bit of a start today uploading junk great stuff to eBay. Hopefully tomorrow I will begin to add the destash to etsy. As soon as I do I will let you know.
