This Month’s Meeting
Kit’s Korner
Happy New Year Ladies!!
I hope this letter finds each and every one of you healthy and happy for
the new year! I'm also hoping your Christmas holidays were safe and not too
weary!! Now that we began to put away our decorations away and clean up our homes
for yet what feels like the hundredth time, I would like for you to take a
minute to really look in your sewing rooms. If yours is anything like mine
right now, it looks like a small funnel cloud has hit it! I often use my
cutting table for wrapping presents, (as it is a nice height for me) and there
are scraps of wrapping paper mixed in with the scraps of fabric on the floor,
along with overflowing trash cans!! Time to do a serious inventory and major
clean-up. But really? Isn't that what the new year is for? A jump start to get
our house in order? Our life in gear? Our minds uncluttered? A resolution to
start a new diet? Let's face it, it's a tall order!!!
So what I propose we do this year in our little Guild are Baby Steps (: For
our January Meeting, we don't have a program on the books since it's our first
meet, and we will discuss everyone taking a month as usual to fill our year. So
I am asking everyone to go thru their sewing rooms and find an unfinished
project that you have set aside, to bring in January to work on. Surely you
have something that needs some handwork left on it, maybe a kit you have always
wanted to start, but never got too, maybe something that just needs a hem and
neckband, maybe even some embroidery on a baby dress that you've put down! I
must have 50 kits or projects of my own, so I'm happy to share!! They do not
have to be smocking related either.
Whatever it is, we are going to finish at least ONE unfinished project
this year as our resolution!!!! It will be fun to watch the progress as a group
and our work is always so much more appreciated when we do things
together!!
This is the start of our de-cluttering!! Baby Steps Ladies, Baby Steps!!
Looking forward to seeing what everyone brings!!
