(Temporary Backup) One Of Life’s Mysteries Solved!

Do you ... like I do ... find that as you get older there are more & more of life’s mysteries in your life? You know ... why does the sun bleach fabric white but darken our skin; why does an even number of socks go into the washing machine but an odd number come out; why do politicians bother making promises when they know they will break them; & where the heck is that ‘safe’ place that we put things so we’ll remember where they are, only to forget where that place is when we need the item?! 🙄 I ponder these important questions in the quiet moments of my life ... or when I’m searching for one of those ‘safely’ stored things! 😂🤣

Well ... today I managed to solve ONE of those mysteries. You see, when I was gathering my fabrics to work on this quilt ...

I KNEW I had a little stash of French General red fabrics somewhere in my sewing room. Now, unlike a lot of sewing rooms, mine is usually pretty neat & orderly ... mostly because I sew on the 10-seater dining table, not in my sewing room. 🤣

My fabric stash stored in baskets ...

... & fabric bundles/sets are stored in the cupboard with the mirror ... fabrics I’ve gathered for future projects or the leftovers of finished projects that I want to keep together in case I want to make a matching project. I searched all through the usual storage spots looking for those French General fabrics to no avail ... which gave me a good excuse to spend some play money with Quilters Angel. 😉 Then this morning ... whilst looking for a completely different safely stored something (which I found!) I discovered ...

...  my elusive French General fabrics! They were buried in amongst my stash of backing fabric offcuts ... why didn’t I think to look THERE?! 🤣 Of course ... I’ve now completed my quilt top without them ... so I guess I’ll need to come up with another project for these yummy reds & beiges now. Tee! Hee! Hee! Ah well ..

 I can still say I solved one of life’s mysteries. 😂

Whatever you’re up to this weekend I hope you manage to enjoy some relaxing creative time ... & maybe solve one of life’s little mysteries that has been bugging you. 😜 I’m thinking there’s some sewing in my weekend plans. 😉 Along with wishing my Bestest-Buddy-Since-We-Were-Nine Lynette a Happy Birthday for today. 

Here she is showing off the Pechey/Crows Nest gifties I gave her last play date ... Pechey Distillery’s coffee flavoured vodka & Crows Nest Cordial’s chocolate syrup ... the two main ingredients for a Highcountry cocktail. 😉

But now I’m off to ... you guessed it! ... make myself a cup of tea. 😁 Take care, keep stitching & keep smiling. 😊 Til next time ...

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!
