Organizing things

I am slowly-so slowly organizing things, so I can sew again. I love to crochet, but sometimes it isn't productive enough. Sewing is much faster and I can make up the things I want and need much faster. I haven't quite finished with my sewing area. I had to dig out my embroidery things today. I also found five felt sewing kits-I forgot I had, two pillows, two table toppers and one that shows how to make felt flowers, not felted but from actual felt. I bought them two years ago. They don't even have them in the stores anymore. I think I'll start working on some of them.

Organizing is going slowly, because I have so much to organize and so little room to do it in. I move one thing out of the way-so I can move another thing, so I can move another thing. Well, you see what I mean. It takes twice as long to do it that way, but that's the way it is. I need to have it done before spring really breaks through, so I can work on the outside of the house and the yard. I want to completely take out my garden-it's too close to the oak tree for it to be successful. All I seem to grow is little oaks. And then I will make little protected beds of things in other places. I have the frames I built last year, All I have to do is move them and fill them in. I have a stack of tempered glass panels to cover them with to keep the moisture in and most of the bugs out.

I've come up with some ideas of what to make to sell at the farmers markets. They are time consuming sort of, but hopefully they will sell well. And they are mostly my own ideas-at least until someone decides to copy me and undersell me. You know how people are, anything to make some money. I'd resent it more, except with jobs so scarce here, I understand it. No, I don't approve of it, I just understand. I will post a few pics when I have something to show. I have discovered that my abilities with a camera are lacking. I can never remember the settings I use on successfull pictures, so I take a lot just hoping a few will come out. I guess I need a tri-pod too, my hands shake so much that it is almost imposible to get a shot that doesn't blurr. I took 30 pictures of part of my yarn stash to post on ravelry and most of them have to be taken again. And my finished objects are sometimes unidentifiable. I saw a nice tri-pod the other day for $10 and didn't get it. I think it would work with my camera, and I think it's one of the kind that can be adjusted for height-no just one of the short ones. Anyway I may go back and look at it and buy it this week-if it's still there.

That's all for now, Will post more when time allows.
