Today It means something

 Isn't it strange how sometimes one gets absolutely no response from reading a quote, thought or poem? Then a day, a month even years later one reads the same thought or quote and it just blows one away. Now that is exactly what happened to me.

I have developed an allergy to the dust that arises when cutting card and paper. Which has turned out to be a bit of a pain considering that paper and everything related to it has always been part of my life? Over the last  I have been boxing my paper stash.

I was clearing another shelf this morning when a tag label I had made,  floated to the floor. It read"Start where you are and use what you have". It stopped me in my tracks. I have such a stash of paper and paper-related items. Then my phone tinged with some notifications and before 10 minutes had elapsed I had found homes for my paper stash.

I love the concept and so my boxes are destined for a number of groups who don't have the money to use on craft items. So definitely recycle and reuse are to the fore. Over the years I have accumulated fabric. Well, I found if I photocopied some fabric it made brilliant backdrops for cards!!! Yes, my mind works in mysterious ways.

During the last three years I have gradually become interested in quilting. Now I am gradually able to see what fabric I have. Now before anyone may suggest that I am just replacing the shelf space, which had previously stored card stock, with fabric I would have to disagree. It may in time but for now poetry books have meandered in, journals duly followed, then the cookery books seemed lonely and just needed to be seen and looked at.

I'm sure you know how it is!!! Or at least I am hoping there is someone out there who can empathise. But to get back to the tag label "Start where you are and use what you have"  So, I am starting where I am at this moment with the fabric and books and I will see where it leads me. Mmmmmm there are just so many avenues.
