WIP Thursday - Another Month GONE!

It makes me laugh when people talk about how 'short' February is...but being 1-3 days shorter than every other month really does make a difference! I still got a good amount of things accomplished this month, including another fabric destash. At this rate, I'll be able to fit everything on my shelves in only 5 more years! 

My 'test' vinyl zipper pouch works great for holding my wip keychain stuffies! 

My goal for this year should be to uncover the floor and chair of the back part of my sewing studio...somehow things keep ending up in that corner and the tubs now have piles on top of them. If I could just point to fabric and have it immediately sell, that would be awesome. Instead, I have to pull it out, measure and take pics, then post, cross-post, and cross fingers that it will be claimed and I can finally pack it up and ship it out! It does cut into my sewing time, but I might make up that time if I can easily find the fabric I'm searching for....and also walk around the sewing studio without having to parkour over tubs.
