I have made 15 Sewcialites blocks since I switched fabrics/colors a month or two ago. I do like this combination of reds, blacks, and tans. I have to say that I am really enjoying the sew along and also the Friday YouTube videos Kimberly of The Fat Quarter Shop puts out each week. They are nice and long and I can stitch along while she demos the week's block and shows sewing tips and new items in her shop. Next Friday she said she will show some upcoming Moda Collections plus some new books. One of the books is a collaboration by Joanna Figueroa and Carrie Nelson, which I cannot wait for.
It has been so nice to be at home. The weather is absolutely gorgeous and we have all our sliding glass doors open. I got an itch to reorganize my bathroom cabinets and drawers. Can somebody please remind me that I do not need to buy any more cosmetics for the rest of my life? I tossed out so many lipsticks and old foundations and dried out mascaras, it was ridiculous. It's a great feeling to be able to see what I have and have room in the drawers and on the cabinet shelves.
I made a nice crockpot dinner, and as I am writing this, my house smells so good. I combined onions and red, yellow, and orange bell peppers in the slow cooker with some mild Italian sausages. We will have them on hoagie rolls. I also did laundry, ironed a few things, and played in my sewing room for a couple of hours. I feel as if I had a day off!
Hope your week got off to a good start.

You certainly accomplished a lot yesterday! It feels great when you have things neat & tidy along with purging old, useless items that are way beyond their expiration dates! Your dinner sounds delicious! Enjoy that beautiful weather! Stay well!

I did some cleaning and purging too yesterday. Such a good feeling! Of course, hubby came in just before I finished and started in with “are you really going to throw that away??” Yes, yes I am!

how do we collect so much clutter? I am working on kitchen cabinets right now. throwing away expired ingredients, throwing away old cook books I haven’t used in years…

Tailors have been using clappers for decades so maybe you could ask them where to buy one if not want to wait .
I know what you mean about too much make up as I did the same thing but I have found all cosmetics are a sort of buy and try and if not like you have yet another piece to put in the drawer as I don’t like throwing away a full item. But it is a liberating feeling. Just did my last pantry shelf and am so proud of myself 😄

Forgot to say, a book from Joanna and Carrie —— omg I can not wait. I have done almost every quilt in Carrie’s schnibbles books and can highly recommend them. Both are geniuses. I will look forward to your opinion
