Cleaning Out...

It seems that no matter how often you think you have had a clean out, it is never enough. We have been working in the "catch all" room in the garage. Everything we didn't know what to do with when we moved in (end of June, 2016) went into this room. We have now cut the stack of boxes in half out there and we feel a lot better about ourselves, although the rubbish men may not like us so much!! We have thrown away, put away, washed blankets and clothes, and organized that room. One more room to tick off my "someday" list!

 

Other than that, I have been working through my bullet journal list as well. Things like going through toys and dishes, deep cleaning tile grout, airing rooms, trying to bake things I have never baked before, and keeping organized. I find I have tons more hours each day than I used to. I love that I have the free time to go pick blackberries with my husband or take a walk when he wants to, and still have all my "chores" done.

I am still working on the cloth bear, which takes painting shoes on, filling to certain points and sewing "joints", and re-designing the face as it was WRONG three times in a row :-(

I am also cutting on the new teddy bear I recently designed, and stitching on the fluff ball (a time consuming project as the fur is so dense and I need to keep it out of the seams). I have a pile on my cutting table now to take care of, fortunately it is relatively easy things to deal with: clothes for bears and dolls, shoes for dolls, mending a skirt, sorting through some scrapbook material to be put away, and organizing the next project.

Have a profitable day!
