I spent almost the whole day cleaning out my fabric stash. With the stuff I gave away yesterday, there are 9 bags of fabric. This allowed me to put the stuff that was in bags in the closet, and in the corner, on shelves. So, I have a pile of African wax resists, stripes, dots, ones I dyed myself, 2 piles of Kaffee Fassett prints, 2 drawers of batik scraps, a box of sparklies, a box of banner fabrics, and more, organized and ready to use.
And I put some of the felt away in big boxes. There is more to do. I have to find a place to store the roving, and another felt box. The room feels bigger. I have a backache.
Sparkling Poinsettias now hangs by the front window at My Favorite Cafe.
I added the Three Days of Christmas to the show at My Favorite Cafe. It hangs in the corner of the south room.
The Sunflower on Blue is replaced by this, Gourds and Asters.

A new Ghoul! Just in time to hang at my party tonight. I placed him on a mosaic mirror, so people can see a foreshadowing of their future. He is celebrating Dia de los Muertos. He arrived in the mail, from Leannderthal, so look at her blog.

This was my booth at the Michigan Garden Clubs annual meeting today. I was one of 8 vendors invited. Next to me was Motawi Tile, which was a terrible temptation, (I succumbed).
The people were nice, the place was lovely.
