BAG O'BITS, et al

 
I have a lot of these bags
of bits and pieces
taking up space in my closet....
So, 
Today I took out the yellows,
and 
I am making these....

On my "bits" of
cut-off telephone
pages...
long strips...
leaving the papers on for now...

[I will tear off the papers
when I decide what to
make of them...]

This week I made these colors:

Multi, blues, and reds...

Just 3-4 per day...
and
at the same time, 
culling out those pieces that
 I will not use.

I am not emptying the 
bags at one sitting, 
but making a dent...
AND...
STRANGELY,

I don't know how I 
ended up with 
SO MANY
YELLOWS!!

***********************
I am not calling this a new project...
just a way to do some mindless
sewing and to try to 
"use it up" to free up more
space for my growing stash...
💗💗💗

I am calling the rest of my year
"No Buy"
but....
We shall see how that goes...
My track record is not so
good --I think the 
longest I went was
four months a few years
ago...
Wish me luck--
😀😂😍

********************
Tonight I have prepared
a meatloaf, 
peeled potatoes
and plan on grilled corn...
for our dinner.

Then for our weekend treat--
I made a cherry pie...
I haven't done one of those
in a really long time...
😋😋😋
***********************
We are having new carpet installed
in our tv room, so I am sitting 
in the midst
of all the 
stuff and furniture we hauled
into the living room...

I say "we"-- but Tom did most of 
the heavy pieces and I only moved
the lighter items out...

Still and all my shoulder
did get a bit sore...
so this will be a resting weekend...

I hope your weekend will prove to 
be a wonderful one...
😷😷😷
Stay safe still...

Hugs, Julierose
