After "Sheng Fui"

Long time since last post - not because I haven't been doing anything creative, but rather because of my computer (aka Butthead).

Since last post I've made a trillion tetraeds - another perfect way of using left over fabric. I'm working on my last diamond chocolate sleeve and soon finished the first of a pair cabled alpaca wristwarmers (free Drops Design pattern nr 98-3).

And I've been cleaning. There are few things that evokes creativity such as a clean and well organized hobby stash and area. The consequence is a pile of fabric, all red and yellow (!); or two dresses, a belt and a dragon to be precise.

Why I have been cleaning? Well, during our vacation at my grandmothers house on the west coast I found a feng shui inspired book about cleaning out and organizing. Not impressed by it at all, but it had a great effect on me - several bags have left this home for the YMCA/frälsningsarmén's Myrorna. It should be said that my grandmother read the part about cleaning the fridge which didn't add anything to her life, her fridge cannot possible be cleaner. Not a book for her. She is allergic to the negative energy released from mess, unfortunately it seems I didn't get her organizing genes. :)
