A Little Cleaning

Since it's Thanksgiving Break for us, I decided to get right to work this morning in my room. I decided to go with the the spots that I can usually ignore for quite a while. I've definitely a neat freak, but sometimes I just don't have the motivation to clean everything, every other day. I only worked in my room this morning because my siblings were playing around the house and I didn't want to start picking up and then have it recked in less than an hour.

So my hotpsots in my room are: My dresser, the ledge above my bed (kind of like a nightstand), and the chair at the end of my bed. In these spots, I tend to keep piling stuff up or just throwing it there and then it stays there until I really feel like picking up. I attacked them today...

I even got the motivation to change my sheets...Winter is just about here!

I have some good news --- I'll be starting some more projects soon!

You see that "tie-blanket" at the end of my bed? Well each of us has one and I would like to make a new one. Mine has the same flower pattern on both sides, and Erin's has that flower pattern as well with tie-dye on the back. We got them made for us quite a while ago, and we got a new bedroom set last year after Christmas sometime.

Since the patterns and colors don't really match, Erin and I want to take a trip to a new fabric store that opened just about 15 minutes away from our house. Then maybe around Christmas time (or even before that) we can start to make them, and get them put together. I'll definitely post when they're finished!

Another thing is, that I'm hoping to start a few more towels to embrioder to send out and give to family & friends this holiday season! So I'm also hoping to search for some new patterns for that. Erin is looking for some more yarn to finish a couple scarves.

Sorry for the long and kind of boring post! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Blessings,
