Okay, I have opinions! First, if I really want to eliminate the bits, I have to toss them as I create them--on the floor and walk on them (not on purpose or anything, just normal walking) in which case they get dusty and when I sweep they go. I don't even mind by that time. Second, that face is too cute and if I made one, I'd never toss anything. Lastly, those rail fence blocks! Love 'em. Yes, love them. Of course, the more you make, the more they blend, so have all the fun you want.

Your face circle is a very cool way to use tiny scraps - though I'm pretty sure I didn't need encouragement to keep the little bits!

I love her nose and eyebrows.<br />Your rail fences look so wonderful; the black and white rails both set them off. Keep going.<br />My family just finished scanning all our photos - a multiyear job. I've scanned most of the "interesting" articles I kept in folders. You remind me to finish that off.

Please share how you organize things - even your "mistakes' will help others reading to perhaps not repeat them when they do it.<br /><br />These rail fences you are doing are fabulous - and the circles are amazing! <br /><br />Well, I'm off to cut vegetables up for Thanksgiving food.

That would happen to me too. Have you ever seen confetti quilts, where you chop up your colors and then use them like paint almost? Your face quilt is fun!<br />I've been thinking about doing the same thing with my magazines. It's a great way to cut down on how much you are storing, plus you can separate the patterns and ideas into categories and keep different files. Much easier to find what you have in mind that way.
