I started December with a plan to do a small painting and clear a section of clutter every day. Well, it's day 9 and I have 2 done and one partially done.
The problem was the clutter clearing. I had a pile of art journals and writing journals and, of course, I had to go through them to see what I had done. Among the written ones I was reminded of something I had done with a Jane LaFazio class and I immediately had to look to see if I still had that class on my computer. I did so I decided I had to make another one -- a Christmas one. This is one that I put on the back of a denim vest.
They're fun to make and I have lots of red and green fabric. Since I didn't make a new table runner this year I'm making one of these for the center of our kitchen table. The process is addictive so I may make a few of them. Perhaps they'll become another table runner, the first one I made many years ago has seen better days. I've since made them in a variety of styles and sized. I enjoy putting the parts together and then in the evening while watching TV I add embroidery and other embellishments.
So sewing a patch every day has replaced the daily painting but the clutter clearing continues. As long as something else I find doesn't distract me.

Your idea is encouraging. Clear clutter a bit then have fun. I will try this! Love your Christmas balls and poinsettia. Clever ideas on the runners. Pretty!
