I never seem to have completely finished one project before I start another so there isn't a defined transition. <br />This is a fine example of good practice though and I will try to start a similar routine so that it becomes second nature (if that's what you mean by OCD :-)<br />Teresa xA Time for Stitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081085376540243147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252320607766646025.post-502584359599509362012-06-19T08:47:03.444-05:002012-06-19T08:47:03.444-05:00This is making my head spin!

And most of the time, I finish them unless I get bored with it. Then it just sits there. Maybe I can take some lessons here. I have a large bag that I fill with scraps and cut offs and threads.

Mine seems to go after only cutting about two projects, none of which have been hard or lots of fabrics! <br /><br />I usually have a sort out of my cottons and bobbins as well, which then leads to sorting out my fabric which then leads to sorting out my patterns and articles,so before I know it four hours have gone by and no sewing!!!!!<br /><br />Susie xSusie https://www.blogger.com/profile/04263993078091436236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252320607766646025.post-84396345934772668842012-06-18T23:07:48.088-05:002012-06-18T23:07:48.088-05:00Oh and those Wizard of Oz blocks are great.

I do clean my machine, load bobbins, change the needle etc. But not necessarily when one project is finished~ it is more of a weekly thing to keep me humming along on 3 or 4 projects at once. :-) Love your little polka dot garbage bin.
