Okay, so maybe I was barely in the garage. (shuffling feet, guiltily) But I was up late late into the night working on labeling and repacking my seed beads into the flip top containers I purchased in massive quantities, as well as creating (finally!) a master list of what the heck we do own. I’m amazed to find far fewer duplicates in bead buying than I was afraid of.
All of which means that by the time I dragged myself out of bed at 11am, Mom had basically put in a full day’s work in the garage and was ready to quit. We consulted on a few big items – what goes, what stays. Mainly everything goes. And then we moved the crib out of the Bead Room to be transported to my brother’s house. The new baby (due in April) will use it. Which gives us a whole extra wall to put more beads in there! Woo hoo!
So tomorrow Mom’s going to buy a few more shelves for the bead room, and project organization will recommence. I’m also working on getting my books and stuff into the new bookshelf in my bedroom and out of the garage. It’s all such a domino effect kind of thing.
Mom and I are in like minds about purging the extra stuff out of our lives, though, which makes it easier. I also went through a hall closet today, full of bathroom kind of stuff, and threw out about 80 bazillion old shampoos and lotions and stuff that I just don’t use. I know which products I like – so perhaps I should just stick with them!!
Anne is in fine form tonight on her blog. You’ve got to check it out.
