Today I had the pleasure of taking a car load of crap to Goodwill and to VCU. The Fashion Design department was THRILLED to get 7 bags of free fabric for the students and the guy at Goodwill even said that I had brought "good things". I've told Chris that I'm itching to fill up another car load. He's nervous.
I decided to take a break from the house and clean up the blog a bit. Here's the start. I even updated my photo now that my hair has grown out. I almost never wear it down. It stays in a ponytail and I love it long.
I know there are some kinks to work out in the blog and I will work on them over the next few days. For now I'm going back to my sewing machine that is in my spacious and organized sewing room.
Isn't it amazing how a good clean out also clears out your mind?
I like the new look! And the new photo is very attractive!

Love your photos, nice picture of you. I always wear my hair long and in a pony tail, but yesterday I went and got it chopped off, lol. Time for a new me;)

Yep - I just did the same thing! It feels wonderful to have my space all neat and orderly, and there is space for new things as well now. I love it!
Like the "new" you! The blog looks great too :*)

Whoa Nellie! Just look at that tie-dye blog banner! It's beautiful. Love the newly updated photo too. You are so photogenic! Congratulations on the house purging. What a great feeling, eh? I can always tell when Minime's been watching "Hoarders" because she empties out her bedroom top to bottom.

I go away for a day and I don't recognize you. I like my hair long, too but a few years ago I decided that I was too old for a pony tail and it has been short ever since. I miss my hair. :(

Love cleaning out and getting rid of stuff! I got rid of 5 bags of stuff out of my old sewing room and thought I was doing good. The new blog looks good, it sets off the banner perfectly.
