Frenetic Friday

Still working on names and stick figures. It isn't that this is so time-consuming, more that I've just not had a lot of time to spend on them. Still, things are moving along.

The ginger lilies are so pretty and smells so sweet. We've had more rain lately, which is really nice for the garden.Here is where I've been enjoying the nicer weather lately.I've made very little progress in cleaning and organizing the studio. Very little, but I'm about to get busy again. :)

Fall Cleaning

I'm still not doing much in the creative line, but I did begin a clean up of the studio. I've made some progress, but there is still much more to do. Not only cleaning and straightening, but organizing...and clearing out.

Have cleared a lot of stuff from my cutting table. It has become the place I pile everything when I want a quick clean up in the rest of the house--it is usually piled with books, but they have been removed and shelved. At least what is now left is related to sewing in some way.

Still...there are all kinds of bits and bobs, left over pieces, projects in progress (or neglected) that need a home.
You can see where the fabric that cluttered the table has gone. Tossed into the already messy space here and elsewhere. Amelia wants some scraps for a project, so I've gathered some together to take to her when we have lunch.
I'm not showing the stuff that now resides on the floor because it unnerves me to think of the time involved in organizing and finding a place for these boxes and baskets. They all had shelf space at one time, but now the shelves must be straightened to make room to replace items that have ended up on the floor.

Daryl-The-Wonderful-Appliance-Repairman (and my hero) once again saved me from having to buy a new appliance. He replaced the relay overload thingies and my refrigerator is humming with happiness; I am sighing with relief!

Meeting downtown this morning, then lunch with Amelia. After lunch, maybe I'll get some more cleaning/organizing done.

Tuesday--Rearranged

My daughter has a blog geared to shopping for toddlers. She posts links to sales and coupons etc. for clothing and accessories for little ones.


Things have been a bit hectic around here this morning-- my refrigerator decided to take a vacation, leaving me with a big ice chest full of food. Hopefully, this will be a short vacation and not a total abdication. Now waiting on the arrival of my favorite appliance repairman (Daryl has saved me a lot of money on appliances over the years).

To practice a positive outlook, I'm looking at this as an opportunity to clean out my refrigerator. Fingers crossed that I can refill it later...and not purchase a new one!
