Studio clean-up

Just a post to let you know that I haven't given up on blogging but haven't been doing much sewing so didn't have too much to report.
I received the "Studio" issue from "Cloth, Paper, Scissors". What can I say? A Yiddish "eh". In my opinion, nothing to write home about. The good thing about it is that it motivated me to do a little tidying in my studio. I went through all my "files" holding things I may some day do or which appeared at one time to provide inspiration. Since I am more realistic now, I pared down the files to about half which opened up room on my shelfing unit. I also took out my boom-box radio with its speakers and freed up a whole shelf (the boom box sat on one shelf and one of the speakers on a second.) I had already started culling my books by donating some of them to the Pomegranate Guild library (that way I can "visit" with them when I want) and the ones which I have no intention of revisiting to the York Heritage Guild. My studio was pared down anyways and my fabric diet appears to be working except for the occasional small falling off the wagon episode of a fat quarter here, a trim there.
With Noam's bar-mitzvah last weekend (btw, he wore the kippah) and Pesach next, I am taking a small hiatus from sewing and am doing a mild spring cleaning.
We are again hosting the first seder and expect approximately 20 people. Approximately 20 because our guests sometimes bring others. The karp has been purchased and cleaned, so we're half way there already.
We're invited to Alissa and Mel's the second night and I may just sew up something for her. I'll see if the muse strikes.
