So as my normal life goes, always short of money, I got a great idea to clean out my storage closet and see if I could get sell anything.. ya know, just misc stuff. Anyways, that led into opening some boxes that I haven't looked at in years....

I found an entire 3 ring binder (probably 5 inch) of Paper Piecing patterns! I had a friend who had tons of those books and she let me copy them. (yeah yeah I know, probably all illegal and stuff.. sorry!) but they were put in storage forever!!!

Then I got out my mom's 1966 Singer Sewing Machine that hasn't seen the light of day in 30 years. I fired her up (it even still had thread in it).. and it seems to work.

SOOO much for cleaning out.. I have spent the day in memories!!! Prom dress, some fancy xmas dress I wore for an old boyfriend that broke my heart..lol, my replica Mrs. Beasley doll, my handmade "Cabbage Patch Kid" my aunt made... on and on.. wedding stuff... typical early 90s!!! hahaha...

I did end up posting some stuff for sale.. a little bit.. lol

It sounds like you got sidetracked by some sweet memories. I always enjoy finding things like that, although it can be hard to get back to work.

Okay now.. who is going to put all this crap away? And where am I going to put the sewing machine?? Goodness, I have no space for it, but I sure don't want to pack it up.. I might even use it for some scrapping!!!

Sounds like a great trip down memory lane.

Sorry, but I'm not going to help you put it all away. But I'll send you some positive thoughts to help you.
