About time to catch up

I am back home and I'm having a cleaning frenzy, so I figured I better continue cleaning while it lasts because I am also in the mood for throwing away things that either I never use or I don't have space for. I usually tend to keep stuff just in case and I have clothes that I remember buying back in 1995...of course most of those clothes are never touched but back on the day I liked them and I felt good with them. But it's time to change and really get rid of most of those forgotten items. I feel better clearing my house a bit. I am also trying to keep it really clean from the leaves and mulch that jump daily from my porch because my son soon will be crawling and then I will be in trouble.

Acabo de volver a casa y estoy como loca limpiando, asi que creo que sera mejor que continue haciendolo mientras me dure porque tambien me ha dado por tirar cosas que nunca uso o para las que no tengo espacio suficiente. Suelo guardar cosas por si acaso y tengo ropas que recuerdo haberlas comprado en 1995...por supuesto casi todas esas ropas estan sin tocar guardadas pero en su dia me gustaban y me sentia bien poniendomelas. Pero ya es hora de cambiar y de deshacerme de todas esas cosas olvidadas. Me siento mejor quitando cosas de en medio por mi casa. Tambien estoy intentando mantenerla limpia de hojas y cortezas de arboles que saltan todos los dias desde el porche a casa porque mi hijo pronto empezara a gatear y entonces va a ser un lio.

In South Carolina I went shopping and found some interesting fabrics. I really like the orange Japanese one on the left:

En Carolina del Sur fui de compras y encontre algunas telas interesantes. Me gusta sobretodo la naranja Japonesa de la izquierda:


And this is a sneak preview of what I work on every night, my quilting stiches...

Y esto es una miradita a lo que hago cada noche, las puntadas de quilting...

Carmen, this is so funny! I have the cleaning frenzy too. You must see how many bags of old clothes I have to give to local charities! I tend to keep everything too. But living in an apartment with a baby makes this impossible :)

BTW, I loooooove your blog!!
