Stuff

My friend, Jen was in town last week.  We met up at the Attic, for a visit and lunch.  It was a fun day shopping, and admiring the beautiful models at the shop. 

My two favorite teams, the Coyotes and the Blackhawks are playing each other in the 1st round of the play-offs.  Being an Illinois native, the Hawks were my first love until hockey came to Phoenix.  We went to game two, and experienced the whiteout.  The teams are warming up in this photo, so the seats aren't full yet.  It's crazy seeing everyone dressed in all white.  I even saw a few people wearing wedding dresses  Sadly, we lost in OT, but the series has a long way to go.

I've spent some time this week organizing and piddling in the craft room.  So much of my time is spent in that room working, so I like to surround myself with things that inspire me, and make me happy. 

Occasionally, I'll get in a mood and think about eliminating the clutter.  The mood passes quickly though, and I end up adding more.

Yea, I have stuff.

Lots and lots of stuff, even functional stuff.

I see lots of red stuff...no surprise there.

I

Stuff here, stuff there...

stuff everywhere.

 Even odd stuff. 

At least now it's organized stuff.

 And when I feel the need to escape from all the stuff,

 there's always this spot to curl up and dream about new stuff.

          

  I have a new design to release within the next two weeks, and a new reproduction in the works.  I'll be having surgery on May 2nd for a full tear in my rotator cuff, so that may put a stop to my designing and stitching for awhile.  I have no clue how I tore it.  When I asked my surgeon how I could have done it, he replied "it's called life".  It's going to be a long, long summer if I can't hold a needle.
