Where Does It All Come From--part 2

Today is work day for me and I don't know where to start.  The garage is a mess after the crazy Auction Company load up day on Saturday.  So I'm torn.  Should I work on organizing our side of the garage (Son will have all his tools in the other side) or work in my sewing room/office.  I'm leaning toward the garage.  One thing I have discovered in this downsizing project--once you get started, the more you see has to be done.  I'm figuring that if I get the garage organized, I might be able to check one area off my to do list before I get started on another.  Besides I'm sure my unwanted sewing items will end up in the garage, waiting to be disposed of either via auction or donation.  So, I'll need an organized storage space.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think we had so much stuff.
Hubby is the collector in the family, but I really didn't think it was this bad.  Overwhelming in fact.  The temps today are going to be in the low 60's, so this may be my last comfortable day to get in the garage.  Wish me luck as I continue my quest to have a cleaned out, organized, downsized home.

I have been doing some quilt making in between downsizing.  A little 30 x 30 inch wall hanging is ready for quilting.  I've tried some weaving of cloth within patchwork and applique. Not sure if this is going to work as the weaving is loose and needed lots of basting and pinning.  I'm anxious to get it secure with machine quilting stitches.  I'll add hand quilting as an accent.  I like where I'm going with this little art quilt, but not sure my techniques will work.  We'll see.  Happy Quilting!
