Did you have fun coloring last week? I hope so. I did. I hope you keep at it. Don’t stop coloring! I intend to do a little every week, just like the doodling and other things. I intend to spend more time doing lots of things like this to keep myself inspired. It helps me […]

Studio Organizing, Week 5

Posted on February 1, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you get your books and magazines under control last week? I didn’t. Even though I got rid of several, and put away ones I want to keep, I still have more . . . ugh! I’ll keep working on this one over time, too. I will win this battle! But for now, it’s on […]

Studio Organizing, Week 4

Posted on January 25, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

How did you do on the UFO you chose to work on last week? I did pretty good — I finished cutting up all the homespun fabric into strips, and then pieced 33 blocks of the first quilt! I’ll hopefully be done with these and have it all gone soon. I saved the largest pieces […]

Shredded money . . . foliage . . . some of you got really inventive with the materials you used to make your initial! I love looking at what you’re doing. And I’m having lots of “what a great idea” and “why didn’t I think of that” moments — haha! You all are inspiring! I […]

Studio Organizing, Week 3

Posted on January 18, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you get your computer files all cleaned up? I worked on it, but I’ll confess — I do OK with files, but when it comes to pictures, I tend to get lost going down memory lane, and the clean up part doesn’t go very quickly! So I’ll keep chipping away at this. But for […]

Studio Organizing, Week 2

Posted on January 11, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you get your paper under control last week? I’m still finding a few strays, and I still have to make some sense of a lot of it, but I got most of it gathered up into 3 piles: one not-so-urgent, one sort-of-urgent, and one to take to the accountant. I’ll keep dealing with it […]
