art nest in fabric, simply lovely

I spent the better part of last night and early this morning ironing, folding, and stacking my fabrics.  I was starting to feel out of control over my sewing corner.  I have been keeping my fabrics in a stacked column of plastic drawers.  The problem was that I couldn't see my fabrics all at once.  My creative spirit wants to see everything all the time and while the drawers were convenient and easy, I found myself unwilling to put my fabrics back into them when I was finished.  So, I snagged my small white wooden shelving unit and transformed it into the Art Nest fabric tower! 

I feel like I can accomplish anything now!  What a little cleaning and organizing can do for ones sense of well being is magical~ 

This weekend, so far, has been quiet and peaceful.  My husband took me out on a date Friday night.  He got to choose the movie this time and we saw Zombieland.  I am not a scary movie person, in fact, I had a mini-fit when he chose it ( I've been known to walk out of gory movies in the past) but I knew he really wanted to see it and I really wanted to be with him so I watched it.  I survived.  We took the children to a fall carnival yesterday...hay rides, 'fishing' for treats, face painting, a cake walk, roping fake cattle for candy (we do live in the south, ya'll)... it was relaxing.  Today will be spent filling Art Nest orders and catching up on some homework.  How quickly the precious weekends fly by!
