I've been browsing other blogs and find that lots of people are making sewing related resolutions for 2008. The thought had never entered my mind and now I have to rethink! It goes without saying (almost) that my sewing room needs work. I am fairly well organized but the problem is that Harold still thinks of it as HIS playroom. The nerve! Just because he was there first! So I have to work around all his little "trinkets" (my stuff is far from "trinkets", of course). One thing I have undertaken is to be ruthless with my dresses from ballroom dancing days. I have an enormous closet in the room (unfortunately also partly filled with his stuff)and it has a lot of room stuffed with voluminous dresses that I will never wear again. I loaded up an entire carload and took it to the local charity shop in time for someone to get a treasure for New Year's Eve. But there are still some that are so pretty that I can't bear to part with them, even though I know I will never again be a size 8 (probably) or have an occasion to wear them. A couple I have cut up for the trims and the fabrics. But regardless of how ruthless I think I am, the stash still ends up piled on chairs, sofa, tables, etc. etc....I think my New Year's resolution must become: buy less fabric, sew more often! The red fabric on the right is some slinky I bought to make a Christmas outfit...or failing that, New Year's Eve...maybe Valentine's Day?
