Cleaning up

Quite often, my studio is a mess.  Fabric everywhere.  I was envious of my friends and their tidy spaces.  So, it was time to tackle the mess and just get it cleaned up.

So, here goes ....

DH went out and bought me a few bins.  LOL.  A few bins.  At least this is a good start.  Now, most of my stash is in bins, but there are a few IKEA bags that hold stash that has been accumulating.

Oops, more IKEA bags.  This is the bedroom adjoining my studio.  There really is a bed under all that stuff.  There really is.  If you look closely, there is a quilt covering the mattress.  Can you spot it?

Remember me lamenting about having 40+ UFO's?  Well, here they are organized and it sure feels good to have them all sorted out and tidied up.  Before, I could hardly find anything on those shelves, it was such a mess.  This is not all of them, but a good number.  At least I have been tackling those UFO's and it is starting to show results.  I did break down and start a new project.  Oops.  I'll be showing something soon.

How can I tell my friends in Australia about winter and white-outs?  The following photos tell the story better.  These photos were taken around 3:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon.  The first photo was taken from my studio.  Look how high the snow is at my window.  We could hardly see the houses across the street.

The snow was coming down quite heavy and it was hitting our windows, thus making visibility even harder.  We have had a couple of snow storms lately and the snow banks are getting higher and higher.  That means it is starting to get dangerous when pulling out onto the street.  You can't see oncoming traffic because they are hidden until the last moment.

Yesterday, I was reading Chookyblue's blog and she mentioned that she has been bloging for 9 years now.  Guess what .... so have I.  On February 22, 2007 that is when I started to blog.  Gosh, where has the time gone?  And guess what, I still have something to write about.  :o)

Have a great day!
