I'm doing 36 things
Even though I’ve been fairly good at de-cluttering I still have loads of fabric hanging around.
some isn’t suitable for patchworking [ all the lycra and chiffon from when i used to make costumes for my daughters ice -skating , but some is cotton/polyester/light-weight fabric that I’ve accumulated over time.
Generally I’ve bought it beccause i liked the patern :D
So , since i’m having trouble letting go of it, i decided a while ago to use it to make a quilt.
A patchwork quilt to be precise.
But I can’t decide if I want to make something straight-forwards [ like squares ] or something slightly more complicated [ like triangles or one of the other-agons ]
I’ve seen some pretty squares qhere the fabric is oversewn in lines and swirls and they look very pretty, but they also used fairly large bits of fabric, and some of the amounts I have are small, so perhaps the other idea would be better.
Bah.
I don’t know.
And now I feel like I’m procrastinating.

Well, the idea that I would try and make sure that every meal that I cook has something green in it seems to be working pretty well.
Its far easier to think about colours than exactly what kind of veg it is, and easier to make sure that I have some in the fridge too.
but I’m getting there.
I’m now throwing things out on a regular basis, and although I’m also buying new stuff I’m being far pickier about what I get.
So i bought a new desk recently, but it keeps all the office stuff far tidier than the old one, which someone happily took away from the end of the drive [ recycling is strong in kent :D ]
And I’m about to have another clear out of clothes since we got a Great Ormond Street hospital collecting bag put through the door again.
So on the whole its feeling positive.
