Cleaning up the scraps

I woke up way too early, but my mind started racing immediately and I couldn't go back to sleep, so finally I got up and started ironing the fabric I washed yesterday. I also checked e-mail. Later I had breakfast. For some reason I was in the mood to clean. Most of the cleaning took place in my sewing room. I got all the fabric put away, and cleared enough space to bring my sewing machine back in. I had moved it to the kitchen table in order to sew the binding on the kingsize quilt, and it just kinda stayed there. I collected two bags of fabric scraps for the thrift shop - mostly not quilting fabrics. I also have two bags to take to guild on Monday in case anyone wants them. Then I sucked up the dust with the vac. After the place was clean, I felt like sewing, but decided I should keep cleaning, probably in the kitchen. I don't know why I came in the computer room, but there I stayed until supper was ready. Then we ate, and watched CSI episodes for the rest of the evening.
* Here is a pic of the purse I finished yesterday. Too bad I don't like it. Maybe I'll try again, this time with purple squares and a longer handle. *
