FALL CLEANING OF A SORT, et al

My fabric stash closet mess!! 

It is way past time to get this straightened out
so that I can FIND things and know
 what I HAVE on hand...

YA THINK?????
πŸ‘ΊπŸ‘½πŸ‘ΎπŸ‘Ώ

Here you can see that I've begun
the reds and oranges on the left
neatly stacked 8" x 8"-- 
[with smaller yet not crumb pieces on top];
and these
are just what had been (shoved!) 
placed on the shelf higgeldy-piggeldy
πŸ–πŸ–πŸ–πŸ–
as they came in...


The left shelves hold all my printed fabrics
and the right (in bins) holds solids--
uh, sort of!!  
I mean really....

I have pulled peaches, pinks and blues
to work on and stacked them on my ironing
board to be dealt with next ...
[and you can see other colors have worked
their way into these piles--I wonder how that
happened hahaha]
↯↯↯↯
I am estimating at least the rest of this week
and perhaps next, also, to really get
my fabric stash  in order...
AND
I realize now that
I don't have a lot of actual full yards--
mostly Fat 1/4's and 1/2 yds...

I am resting my back 
right now, 
from all the standing
and bending needed 
to work on this..

***********************
This Labor Day will be a quiet one
for us...
I am making my simple bean and hot dog
casserole with a tossed salad and
snowflake rolls...

***************************
Tomorrow my daughter and Cassidy
(my grand- and her daughter) 
will be joining us for
lunch for a visit before she moves to
live in New Jersey for the next 
phase of her life....

You know you're oldπŸ‘΅
 when your two oldest
grands move away to live--
Steven the eldest lives and works in 
Boston...

And life moves inexorably forward
doesn't it????

Happy for them, but a little
sad myself....

I hope you have enjoyed this long 
Labor Day weekend
