While my internet has been down, I have been busily finishing off projects. I think one of the major things that "Easy Street" taught me was to focus and finish. That is my mantra for the month of February. I started organizing my stuff and realized just how many UFO's I had laying around. I have been picking up oine at a time and when I feel the urge to get distracted I remind myself that I need to finish and then I can move on to the next project. Its really hard not to get distracted and start yet another project. But I have been doing pretty well.
So far....
I made a cushion for my window seat. I had painted the room where I sew and then had a new rug put in last year. I found if I layed this wood shelving that i have on its side, it fit perfectly under my window. I made some Roman shades last year as well. The window seat has been naked since. And bugging me. Unfisnished business. I can happily say, its now done.
Then, eh hem, I bought some fabric eight year ago. I bought it to redo the curtains. In my defense I bought when my daughter was a wee baby and we had just moved into a new house. Not a lot of time for sewing. But alas I have pulled it out. I have been working on the curtains, doing some problem solving. But I did find a use for some of the fabric...
Pillows. I made one, I have two more to make.
I bought some iron board padding some time ago... Three years ago to be exact. Finally, have made something with it. Something I could really use. A portable ironing pad that doubles as a bag for an iron. I had enough left over to make a little board for near my sewing area. The one I currently have is just too narrow.

You go girl! Feels so good to knock those things off the list permanently doesn't it? I've been making decisions about nagging UFO's too. Some - have been tossed into the "Silent Auction" basket for our retreat in May! You coming over to play tomorrow?
