That&#8217;s not how it works at my house.<\/p>\n<p>I was thinking, back on Friday, I really want to get to work on some more Fat Fairies!  Up to my attic&#8230; pull out the fabric, try to find all the pieces for the patterns.  Then I realize that I don&#8217;t have enough pinky skin- toned wool left.  That means I&#8217;ve got to dye some more.  Which involves finding a selection of white (ish) wool fabrics to dye.  And finding the dye.  I KNOW I have both of these neccessities somewhere.  First, find the fabric.  Okay, look through all the bins that I&#8217;ve been trying to organize the wool into.  Nope.  Then pull out everything in the attic (studio) closet.  I didn&#8217;t find the fabric I want but I decide to try reorganizing it again to see if I can make the space work any better.  And get rid of some of the stuff.  Now go into the deeper attic storage areas.  Actually I&#8217;ve been meaning to sort through that stuff anyway.  I now have a big pile of stuff to sell on ebay- related to wool rug hooking- and another pile of fabric to donate to the Fashion School in Boston.   And I finally did find some white fabric, although I&#8217;m pretty sure there is more around here somewhere.  Finding the dye was a similar adventure, but now- this afternoon &#8211; I have a nice pile of pink skin tones in a variety of wooly texture.  Here they are, pre-ironing, ready to join my bin of multi-hued skin tone fabrics!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pinks\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/2:5:fabric.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love watching That&#8217;s Clever on HGTV.
