I actually got my three closets I wanted to clean out. The first picture is when I started the cross stitch closet. I actually was able to close my eyes and throw out a bunch of junk. I also found stuff I forgot I had.
It's all done. The three little needlepoint boxes my mother made probably 40 years ago. I still have a large box of her needlepoint.
There are 8 little Just Nan angels. I probably started making them 10 or 11 years ago. They were a yearly pattern. I have never figured out what to do with them. I always wanted to make a wall hanging for my now 15 year old GD. The others are just some of my favorite pieces.
I also finished cleaning out my sewing closet and my own closet and thank goodness the VietNam vets will be picking up three large garbage bags tomorrow. I dropped my sewing machine off on Thursday for a cleaning and hopefully it will correct some of the crooked stitches it was sewing. I can't wait to go pick it up as the quilt shop is loaded with lots of new fabric and I have a gift certificate waiting there from Xmas. Connie204
Congratulations on all that cleaning! (But now will you know where things are? I find myself making a new mess after I've cleaned because I put can't find things any more!) The boxes are a treasure and the angels are really pretty. You should definitely figure out a way to display them. I look forward to seeing what you get with your gift certificate!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Isn't it great when you finally know how much you have? Your needlepoint is beautiful! I can do it, but have no patience for it. Love the angels! Can't you combine the 4 and the 1 and still make that wallhanging for your GD?

Beautiful, beautiful work! Seems I remember the framed angel from an APQ post? Also with a Santa I wanted to steal? Were those yours? Can't remember for sure. Anyway, you get a big "A" for closet cleaning! I haven't begun that yet, though I did consider hitting my quilting closet today; decided against it! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteNice job cleaning out the closets! A fresh start can be really inspiring. Your cross stitch pieces are beautiful. I hope you find a way to display those pretty angels.
