Departure from creativity

Or maybe just creativity of another kind.
I'm spending this weekend is cleaning. I know, I should have warned you to sit down first. But we're having company this week and I have some catching up to do...
I have divided the house into zones -- upstairs, main floor, family room. And interspersed, laundry.
My mission for today is the upstairs. On the upstairs level I have three rooms, a bathroom and a hallway.
I started with the bathroom and not only is everything clean, I also went through, organizing drawers and throwing out junk. There's still some stuff that DH has to part with, but hey -- it's coming along.
The computer room with a sofa bed aka spare bedroom is clean, except for setting up the bed and making it.
The next room is our bedroom which isn't terribly difficult. I'm not touching my studio until everything else is done because if I go in, I may not come out.
The sore spot on this floor is the hallway. It where stuff which is no longer needed (i.e. childrens' books in Hebrew, old tapes, miscellaneous books, a no-longer working laptop, etc.) sits until the decision is made to finally get rid of it. That decision may just happen today.

I did have a creative week. Last week I posted about the iris folding circle. I made two additional circles. One is chocolate brown organza sewn in ripples. I actually envision different types of threads, ribbons, etc. covering the rows of stitching. The other is five or six waves of various hues and textures of brown. The problem is that none of the three circles are really compatible with the others. So I may just forget about the challenge and make three separate small pieces (each approx. 14" square).

I am also just about finished my FibreArt Toronto bag challenge. I received a gift of Bo-Nash from Larkin from the QuiltArt list. And did some foil transfer. I need to practise in order to know how much to sprinkle, how hot the iron should be, how long to iron, etc. But it did give a nice shimmer to the bag. I sewed the bag together. Still need to add the grommets at the top. I have grommets I've been practising with on scrap fabric but haven't yet gotten them to close without leaving sharp edges. I also want to put some braiding on the four edges which will gather at the bottom in a tassel.

And I must finally sit down and do my fabric postcards. Oy, there's the theme of Purim/Pesach/spring but I still don't know what to do.

So I'm off to laundry now and if I finish all my tasks for today, I may still get in a little studio time.
