Repurposing!
Still cleaning out closets; finding all sorts of interesting things I had forgotten about. Years ago, I had spun cotton and wove on indigo dyed warp yardage to make a costume to wear while I did demos at the local plantation. The plantation grew both cotton and indigo--so it was perfect to show case their crops. Fast forward---- there is yardage in the closet bin. Why not do something with it?

Memories!!!
Guess it’s my age—I’ve been sorting through boxes of photos, recipes, patterns, fabrics, quilts, etc. when I had a pile of photos from a series of group meeting, I ask my friend “what should I do with all these pictures collected over 35 years?” She said, I’ve been doing the same thing—I know my kids would not know any of these people in the photos. It was sad thrumbing through, so many of these friends have gone to the heaven of happiness.
Memories always flood back when you view them. Oh, remember when that happen! But, I have no one to reminisce with over those times. I pulled out several photos to put them aside--maybe, someone would like these, I said to myself. The rest went into File13--then I immediately regret what I did---so many recorded memories gone, just like that!!

TA DA!!
And just like that—we have October! Really!! Time is fleeting so quickly—so we’re getting older, busy most of the time—we can’t stop time— Of course, to some time moves too slowly. Not for me though—
Looking at all these UFOs, my ADD kicks in. Not sure where to begin next. Work a little here, squirrel moment. Look over there— what is that flashy shiny thing that needs some attention? Let’s make another cup of coffee and decide where to put my energy.
