Remarkable where we get our motivation.
I have been trying...without any success...to buy a new skirt or two. Most of the clothes around are for tiny people...I think I was born bigger than some of the population that lives here now.

Size 2, size 4...or the styles are for the young and trendy or the "petite" (I am 5'9" tall)
Summer time is upon us and instead of shorts, I like to wear skirts.
So.....I went to the fabric store and bought a pattern and fabric and the assorted notions needed to construct the skirts.
Job one...clean the back room...My sewing machine has been sitting buried beneath my accumulation of things I don't know what to do with.
My back room has been needing attention since I moved in....It gets neglected because of various reasons....so today was dedicated to the project.
Doors are open, windows are open, music is playing....the room is coming along, but I needed a break to sit down and give my back a rest.
I have come across things I could toss out and more paper crap that went to recycle.
I also have some assorted patches to sew on to a jacket...The sewing machine is on the table in plan sight now....
I would have gone riding, but me left shoulder is bothering me....the therapist worked deep into the shoulder last night...so it's tender today. Better to be safe than sorry. Therefore....back to the beginning...motivation to clean the back room....
