CHRISTMAS OJOS QUILTING, et al

 

I began hand quilting my 
Christmas Ojos table topper
on Christmas Eve...

I just love hand quilting these
 ojos-type pieces.
So relaxing and easy
to see where to quilt...
And i love how they look 
all crinkled up with
quilting;))))

*******************************
FYI for my Decluttering Amigas:

Now that my tables and cutting board 
are all cleared off--I can begin
to work on my glue booking
magazines today.
This will be my Day Three
as
my back needs a rest 
from reaching 
and
stretching 
and 
bending over.
OOff-Dah
:000

I will be paging through
 two bins-full of
catalogues,
magazines,
and 
Ads;
and culling images
 that I think
I can use in my 
"En Masse Journal",
"Color Glue Book"
and my 
"Anything Goes"
Glue book...

The only foreseeable problem here is
if I get distracted by
 little images 
I want to
 "fussy cut"!;)))

**************************************
I must say that after my clean-up
of stuff on my surfaces,
I kind of am "paralyzed" as to 
what to sew next...
The ideas just aren't flowing...

[Am I hesitant to "mess things up again"??]

There are:
No little pieces of fabric
out there
that say:
"Oooh, now I go
so well with 
that one--SEE???",
 etc.
Or
That box has the "project
 I so wanted to
finish"
...hmmmmm---

Sooooooo,

I am thinking that, for me, 
a "bit" of clutter 
is a moving force for any
creative ideas spring up...
[notice I say "a bit" not
a ton of it!!]

So I have already learned that 
about how I
like to work during 
this challenge.

It's all good...
