Hello from my disorderly house to your hopefully very pleasant and uplifting one!
This week I finished a huge writing project and promptly started tackling the mess that's been building up while I worked. So far I've tidied up some yarn, and accepted the fact that I don't need any more yarn.
I also cleaned up my closet and accepted the fact that I definitely don't need any more clothes.
Also that it's high time I learned to use the steamer I bought in January and never used, because I have a new dress and it's a bit wrinkled from the bag. In an unrelated shopping mishap I bought an over-door hanger, and I think that gives me the perfect setup to steam the dress on the bathroom door, standing open so any water drips onto a tile floor. Exciting!
Other things I don't need any more of: art supplies. But I am thrilled that I got these little rubber stamps in my Christmas stocking and certain I will find some fun projects for them. Eventually.
(the little bee might be my fave, what about yours?)
While in the closet I tidied up some shoes and accepted that even after I donate the ones I ended up never wearing, I do not under any circumstances need more footwear.
(Unless they are Birkenstocks. There are still a bunch of Birkenstock styles I am pretty sure I cannot live indefinitely without.)
Next up: the living room mantel, which mostly just looks like a pile of yarn ends from the perpetual crochet blanket, but some highland cows and a pair of very cute lobsters. Everybody has those things in their living room, right? So you'll know - they get into EVERYthing and don't always look quite right for a springtime Easter display. I honestly don't know where to put them for the holiday unless I get a big basket for the floor near said fireplace, and put a big pastel ribbon on it, and put all the animals inside like egg hunt winnings... except, all of them will be holding on to yarn ends and crochet hooks, like they're starting their own blanket.
Seriously, that's a pretty good idea, isn't it?
(don't answer that.)
Hope you have had a super productive week, and that we all have a lovely weekend. Enjoy yours and thanks for dropping in to see me - see you next Saturday!
