Well, it finally stopped snowing last night here in Baltimore. It snowed from Friday afternoon 1/21 about 4pm until Saturday night 1/23 about 8pm. In the end Baltimore received 29" of snow. That's equivalent to more than 3/4 yards of fabric. Yousah! It was awesome. Let me explain.... meteorologists were predicting a blizzard all week. Most people were wishing it wasn't true, I was hoping it was. Why you might ask. A blizzard is perfecting sewing weather. People who sew love being stuck in the house with a sewing machine and fabric. 
I prepared like a scout. After work on Thursday I ran my errands to the market for a few groceries, Costco for gas and a chicken pot pie, the liquor store for wine. I chose my favorite spiced wine, Wassail from Boordy vineyard her in MD. Wassail isn't a sweet wine. It's a spiced red that's best when heated. I wouldn't need to go outside for anything. Went to work on Friday, left early around 1:30 pm. It was on. I started with some Sassy SEWer paperwork and social media. 
Years ago I came accross these fabric inventory cards on Threads magazine's website. I've been taking my time copying the cards in various colors. I realized this weekend that I should stick to the white cards because white displays the fabrics color and texture better without being distracting. Once I'm done. I store 4 cards, sorted by
color in these Martha Stewart 4 pocket sheet protectors in a 3 ring binder.

I also took advantage of this weekend to trim some patterns and cut out patterns for upcoming sewing projects. Overall, I must say I had a productive and darn good weekend. If you live on the east coast what did you sew during the blizzard.
Until next time back to organizing!
