I also got these cool items:
Then I began to tackle a corner of The Other Room. Today's targets were a cabinet and a trunk.
I made several piles that ended up in four storage boxes. No, I DID NOT PURGE yet. Baby steps. The four piles were Plastic Canvas (makes most counted cross stitch snobs such as myself shudder), partially-complete projects, supplies, and "stuff".
My started-but-not-completed counted cross stitch projects filled an entire box, I kid you not. What part of "easily distracted" is not clear to you? :-)
I sorted, I discovered, I reminisced, I sighed, and I emptied that cabinet. I carried it out to the Living Room, dusted it, took its photo, and it is posted on Craig's List for sale. REALLY!
Next I tackled the trunk. It housed mostly kid craft stuff from when my boys were little, plus all the shells we collected in FL that I could not possibly throw away, lest they never speak to me again. 10 years later I still have the stuff. This is in addition to the washed and bleached and sorted bags of shells *I* have. We won't talk about those today.
After I got rid of the trunk contents, I moved the trunk into the Living Room, took its photo, and posted it on Craig's List. I sure hope someone buys them soon, cuz it is tough to move around in here right now. (Oooh, I just got an email about the trunk! Yessssss!)
Tomorrow, I'll paint this wall and the one to the left. Then I can put away all the painting supplies and start working on the mess in the middle of the room. I will NOT show you a picture of that (yes, I took one) until the room is pristine and can be called a Craft Room. THEN I will reveal the Before pics.
Okay, I'm off to craft something to celebrate my progress.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice work! Even if it doesn't take up less space, it looks much more manageable to deal with, and is certainly much neater looking!
