Before and after tidy up of work space.

Once again, way too long.  It has been a very busy few years and finally I seem to be rediscovering interests, hobbies etc I have put on hold.  In all honesty, I didn't realise how long it was between posts.  I find this very cathartic to be able to blurb on about "stuff" under no illusion that, it is, really just for me.  It works for me to do this, writing in a journal, not so much.

Well enough of that. Since having time to rediscover lost interests I genuinely start out with the intention of keeping everything in order, neat and tidy, well that never, ever lasts long.  I get so side tracked all the time I find myself with 100 things happening at once and inevitably I have to stop and tidying up and that is what these photos show. I have once again promised myself to never let it get out of hand again, yeah and pigs will fly. Next..... the sewing room. Now that's going to be fun, decades of collecting vintage sheets, tablecloths, tea towels, I need a cup of tea just thinking about it.

BEFORE

AFTER 

The decoupaged (pages from old semi-destroyed books) boxes in the foreground are labelled and number so I can keep tabs of where everything is. 

The vintage tea towel of the dog and cat that I turned into a wall hanging is one of my favourites.  I actually made it to sell at the markets and surprising no one has bought it.  So here it now hangs and I love it. Just makes me smile.  It was meant to be. The squirrel hanging I bought in North Adelaide in the late 1970's, ouch.

Again with the vintage tea towels (on back of chair) I have hundreds of them.
