Recycle, Reduce, Reuse.

Thursday I made it a goal to clean and organize our closet. My side has been a little messy for a while now. I also wanted to go through all of my clothes because it was time to get rid of some stuff. It happens every once in a while... all of the sudden I have no room for any of my clothes. I have so many clothes that I am saving for when I finally lose that weight I've been talking about losing for 50 years now.

After going through the closet and through my drawers, I gathered quite a pile. I was going to donate them to the Goodwill, but then I remembered I have a sewing machine. And hey! I have been wanting to do more sewing projects lately like my very talented and inspiring friend Stacey always did. Why not keep them and use the fabric to make a quilt and a couple of cute pillows for Madeline??

So, I sorted through everything and picked out the clothes that had a good color scheme and began cutting my squares.

I'll post a picture of the finished product, I promise. Even if it is totally atrocious and ugly. Why? Because I will have MADE it. And that makes it pretty special.
