Finally found a bit of sewing mojo - perhaps it was unearthed at the back of the cupboard when I was doing a bit of spring cleaning the other day!
Little embellished brooches, stamped linen ( heat set with the iron), vintage cotton fabric and lace together with some beads I've had for years. And then once I got started 
I
couldn't
stop!
There's a real feeling that comes with spring time, a fresh start after the sluggish winter months.A need to clear the decks and clean out the corners. I'm usually a dreadful hoarder so am trying to take advantage of my current desire to have a clear out to make some space in my sewing room in particular. While being careful not to sling something I really might regret loosing! I've got a great pile of stuff to freecycle/pass on/take to the charity shop and am now eyeing the kitchen cupboards. There's all sorts of dishes and goodness knows what lurking at the back of the corner cupboard that never sees the light of day.
I read an article which said you could decide if you really wanted to keep something by asking yourself ' If I was moving to Australia tomorrow would I take this with me?'.........on that basis I would need a large ocean liner to take my treasures over there!
