Brief update on Completed Projects...While I still have my sanity

Dear Reader,

I've been so busy the last few weeks cleaning out my house, particularly my fabric, pattern, and notion stash.  I don't know what has gotten into me.  I'm not making much progress on anything because I keep discovering fabric and notions I don't remember buying!  I'm making two piles to give away to YOU, my lovely Readers, one with sewing supplies I know I will never get around to using and another for those who are only interested in needlework items.  I have 3 unopened rolls of Stitch-Witchery -- WHY?  And WHY do I have so many patterns that are not even close to my size -- I KNOW I couldn't have read the sizing that wrong, or er...gained that much weight? Hmm... never-mind.

Meanwhile, I have to make room so I can get organized to complete my task of 52 carriers.  I had planned on starting the year off by finishing two purses that are UFO (unfinished objects) promised to friends.  I found the outside fabric that had already been cut out, but I've managed to loose the lining fabric for BOTH projects.  I know I've cut it out already, but where did it crawl off to?  And yes, in all the cleaning chaos I misplaced my scissors TWICE!

In the meantime, I've given those projects up until I come across the lining fabrics.  I've started my first carrier piece from a new pattern which I will go back to working on as soon as I finishing writing this post.
