Marion's Miscellaneous Musings

In the last post, when I said I cleaned up, that actually includes the fabric stash. I folded every piece of yardage and fat quarter (18 by 22 inches) around my 5 inch ruler, folded them over, and stacked them in my closet. I have ten stacks of fabric about 2 feet high stuffed in a closet. Took 3 days. This does not include Christmas fabric (which is stuffed in a large blanket bag, whites and off whites, and some 30 bolts in the bedroom. The tiny scraps are in the shoe bag. I need about 3 more shoe bags for the rest of the scraps.

This system works well. I needed to look for purples (which are behind the blues) and I just got out the card table, but stacks of fabric on it, and then found what I needed right away! Then I restacked everything in record time.

The second picture is taken from Blewett Pass on February 18. Great day for a drive in the mountains. Unlike this last week, in which Snoqualmie Pass has been closed intermittently.

The last picture is what my garden should have looked like for Laurie's wedding. The white are snowdrops, the yellow, crocus, and the purple are dwarf iris. There are a lot of tulip leaves. You can barely see grape hyacinth coming up (don't look, it was in another picture). These things are 5 WEEKS LATE! They should have started blooming in January. Laurie should have had no snowdrops at all, instead that was all she had!

I blame global warming!

Wedding pictures will come when I can get to the directory that has them. Then one who knows where they are is asleep, it being 11:00 pm and he believes that you should be awake on the job.
